If your new projects are defaulting to a different project size, choose Edit > Project
Properties (or press Command-J) once the project is open. In the General pane of the
Project Properties window, choose iPod Video from the Presets pop-up menu. You can
change the default new project size in the Presets pane of Motion Preferences.
Note: If you prefer (and because the iPod Video format is small), you can create a larger
project format in which to work and then proceed to step 3.

a Enter a filename and location in which to save the project.

the “Use play range” checkbox.
7 Click Export.
