1242 Appendix E Using Motion and After Effects
7 Click OK to import the Motion project.
The Motion project, identified by the Motion icon, is listed in the After Effects Project
window.
8 Drag the project into the Timeline or composition.
The Motion project is treated like a QuickTime movie. Therefore, it can be composited
with other elements, and effects can be added.
To modify a Motion project once it has been imported into After Effects:
1 In After Effects, select the layer containing the Motion project.
2 Choose Edit > Edit Original (or press Command-E).
If not already open, Motion launches and the project is opened for editing.
3 Modify the Motion project, then choose File > Save.
Changes to the Motion project are automatically updated in After Effects.
Additional After Effects Integration Notes
Any Motion project with a field order set in the Project Properties dialog is
automatically rendered with fields in After Effects. To change this, edit the Motion
project using the Edit Original command in After Effects, then open the Project
Properties dialog in Motion (choose Edit > Project Properties, or press Command-J). In
the General tab of the Project Properties dialog, set the Field Order to the desired
setting (None/Upper First [Odd]/Lower First [Even]).
Motion blur in After Effects does not affect objects moving within the Motion project.
To enable motion blur for elements moving within the Motion project, motion blur
must be enabled in Motion. In Motion, choose View > Motion Blur (or press Option-M),
then save the project to update it in After Effects.
