• Motion Gestures guide: Lists the simple pen gestures that allow you to enter a variety
of useful commands into Motion using a Wacom tablet and pen.
Printed Documentation
You can find the following printed instructional material in your Motion box:
• Motion Getting Started: Provides an overview of creating motion graphics in Motion
for users from any level of experience, introducing the user interface, the general
workflow, and a quick start to the main features in the application.
This book, which
is identical to the Motion Getting Started PDF included on the Motion installation
DVD, is a good place for new users to become acquainted with the application.
Note: The Motion Getting Started book has not been updated for Motion 2.0.
Upgrading Mac OS X and QuickTime
Before you install Motion, update your system software to make sure that you have the
latest versions of Mac OS X and QuickTime. QuickTime is an industry standard for
working with digital video and is required for Motion.
Note: For software requirements, see the Before You Install Motion document on the
installation DVD.
To update your system software:
1 Choose Apple > System Preferences.
2 In the System Preferences window, click Software Update.
3 Make sure that the Update Software button is selected, then click Check Now.
A dialog may appear showing new or updated software available for your computer.
4 If necessary, follow the onscreen instructions to update Mac OS X and QuickTime to the
correct versions.
Note: If you haven’t updated your system software or QuickTime in a while, you may
have to go through this process more than one time to install the most recent versions
of Mac OS X and QuickTime.
Installing and Serializing Motion
When you install Motion, the application is placed in the Applications folder on the
hard disk you specify, typically your startup disk.
Warning: If your system does not meet the minimum system requirements, Motion
cannot be installed. Refer to the Before You Install Motion document on the installation
DVD for a list of minimum system requirements.
