Where Filters Appear
After you apply a filter, it appears underneath the object to which it is applied in the
Layers tab and the Timeline.
Improving Performance with Filters
When applying filters to several different layers in Motion, it is recommended to apply
the filters to the layers’ parent group. Also, when applying filters to very large groups
(such as a group containing a growing particle system), it is recommended to turn on
the Fixed Resolution parameter in the Group tab of the Inspector. When Fixed
Resolution is turned on, layers that are in the group but are outside of the Canvas are
cropped to the size of the group defined in the parameter. The Group tab is only
available when a group is selected. For more information, “
Fixing the Size of a Group ”
on page 244.
Note: When enabled, the Fixed Resolution parameter crops the group to the size
specified in the Fixed Width and Fixed Height parameters around the anchor point of
the group.
