Motion Projects,” in Motion Help.
Saving and Exporting Your Project
Exporting your project is the final step in the creation of your masterpiece (and often
means it’s time to go home). This section briefly describes exporting a project as a
QuickTime movie. For more information on exporting, see Chapter 13, “Exporting
Motion Projects,” in Motion Help.
To export a project:
1 Set your project duration to the frames that you want to render.
Important: By default, Motion exports all of the frames in a project. To render only a
portion of your project, set your playback range before you export your project. For
information on setting a playback range, see Motion Help.
2 Choose File > Export (or press Command+E).
The export sheet drops down from the title bar.
