Apple Motion 2 Getting Started - Manual (Page 144)

144 Chapter 4 Arts and Letters
• In the Canvas, the emitter bounding box appears, which can be transformed using
the onscreen controls.
• The particle appears in the Canvas in the same location as the original object. Although
it appears as if the particle is selected, it is actually the bounding box for the emitter.
• The Emitter Dashboard is displayed. If you have hidden the Dashboard, press D.
Note: For projects with a frame rate greater than 30, at times only the bounding box
(not the particle cell) may appear at the first frame of your project. Since particles are
generated at 30 particles per second, there is no guarantee a particle will appear on
every frame.
3 In the Canvas, move the object to the position from which you want the particles to
emanate.
