Saving and Sharing Custom Library Elements
You can save nearly any object in Motion to the Library. These include animated
cameras and lights, customized behaviors, filters, particle systems, or replicators, shapes
and text, as well as layers and groups. To save an object for future use, you can drag it
to an existing or new folder in the Library. Once an object is placed in the Library, it can
be added to a project like any other object in the Library.
You can save multiple objects to the Library as one file or multiple files. For example, if
you create an effect using multiple filters and you want to save the cumulative effect of
those filters to apply to other objects, you can save all of the filters as one item in the
Library.
