Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 134)

Full Screen Mode
Motion has an option to cover your entire monitor with the Canvas. This is helpful for
watching playback of your project without the distraction of the software interface. In
this mode, all of the tools and controls that affect the Canvas remain active, though you
have to rely on keyboard shortcuts and shortcut menus (Control-click) to change from
one tool or control to another. You can access the menu bar by positioning your pointer
at the top of the screen where the menu normally is.
To switch into Full Screen mode
Do one of the following:
µ
Choose View > Full Screen Mode.
µ
Press F8.
To return to normal view
Do one of the following:
µ
Position your pointer over the menu, then choose View > Full Screen Mode again.
µ
Press F8 again.
HUD
The HUD (heads-up display) is one of the most versatile and handy tools in the Motion
interface. It is a dynamically updating floating window that puts the most common
controls for any selected object within easy reach.
