Getting to Know Motion

3D Grid: Turns the grid on and off in 3D views. The 3D grid helps you stay oriented
and can be used to guide the placement of objects in your project. The 3D grid only
appears when you are in a 3D workspace.

3D Scene Icons: Toggles the display of the cameras and lights. The scene icons appear
in the Canvas as yellow wireframe icons. Lights appear with red (X), green (Y), and blue
(Z) adjust 3D handles that let you transform and rotate the light object. The handles are
still displayed when 3D Scene Icons is turned off. For more information on the 3D
Scene Icons, see “

3D Compositing

in the Motion Supplemental Documentation PDF.

Correct for Aspect Ratio: Applies an artificial distortion of the Canvas in projects with
nonsquare pixels. When the setting is on, the computer monitor simulates what a TV
monitor displays. When the setting is off, projects with nonsquare pixels appear
stretched. This is because computer monitors have square pixels. This setting does not
modify the actual output of the project.
