Getting to Know Motion

m

Choose an option from the Show pop-up menu in the lower-left corner of the
Customize Toolbar dialog.

Hiding the Toolbar

Once you get familiar with the common controls and the keyboard shortcuts, you may
want to hide the Toolbar altogether to simplify the interface and provide more room
for the Canvas.

To hide the Toolbar, do one of the following:

m

Click the Toolbar button in the upper-right corner of the main window.

m

Choose View > Hide Toolbar.

m

Press Command-Option-T.

If the Toolbar is currently hidden, these same controls all show the Toolbar instead of
hiding it.

Canvas

The centerpiece of the Motion workspace is the Canvas. Whatever you see in the
Canvas reflects exactly what you get when you export or output your project. However,
this window is not just a place to view the results of your work; this is where you
modify and arrange the elements of your project.
