Window Arrangements

Different workflows require different sets of windows to be visible, and in different sizes.
For example, when designing a layout for your composition, the bigger the Canvas, the
better. However, when tweaking or finessing an animated effect, you may want more
room dedicated to the Timing pane and the Inspector. Fortunately, Motion allows you
to switch between different layouts quickly and even to save your own custom layouts.

Preset Layouts

Motion provides three preset window arrangements, called layouts. These layouts distribute
the application’s windows in varying ways to accommodate different workflows.

To choose a preset window layout

µ

Choose Window > Layouts, then choose a layout from the submenu.

Standard: This layout displays the utility window on the left and the Canvas on the

right.
