Collecting Media
When saving a project, Motion gives you the option to automatically gather together the
media used in your project. The media is collected in a folder of your designation. The
advantage to collecting your media is that it makes portability and backup easier, as well
as organizing all your project media in a single place. By default, Collect Media is turned
off.
To use the Collect Media save function
1
Choose File > Save As (or press Command-Shift-S).
