Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 283)

Note: You cannot Command-drag non-image objects (shapes, Motion projects, particles,
etc.) to the Canvas.
Exposing the drop zones
3 Drop the object onto its target.
The object replaces its target, everything moves and rescales back to their original
positions, and the playhead moves to the first frame of the dropped object.
Customizing Text Objects
Text objects can be easily updated using the Text tool. Editing a text object does nothing
to change the format, style, or layout of the text. Furthermore, simple edits made to text
objects have no effect on filters, masks, behaviors, or keyframed parameters that are
applied to that object.
For more information on editing text objects, see Adding Text .
Modifying Behaviors and Keyframes
Objects in template-based projects are animated using a combination of behaviors and
keyframed parameters. These can be edited at any time to customize the motion of the
objects. For more information on modifying behaviors, see
Working with Behaviors . For
more information on modifying keyframes, see Modifying Keyframes .
