Organizing Your Files

folders. All of the changes you make to your file structure from within Motion are
reflected in the Finder.
To create a new folder:
m
Click the New Folder button at the bottom of the window.
To move a file into a folder:

The file is moved inside that folder.

Renaming folders or files from within the File Browser renames the item on
your hard disk or network. If projects are using files from the originally named folder,
Motion may list the footage as missing.
Warning:
Deleting folders or files from within the Motion File Browser removes the
files from your hard drive or network and places the files in your Trash.
