Apple Motion 2 - Manual (Page 168)

168 Chapter 2 Creating and Managing Projects
Note: The Down-Res to Canvas Size option is the best choice for optimizing your
process time. When you use Scale to Canvas Size, Motion must calculate the scale at
each frame.
In the following example, a 760 x 1141 JPEG image is imported into an NTSC D1 project
with Down-Res to Canvas Size selected in the Preferences.
The image looks identical to an image that is scaled on import. However, its resolution
has been changed so that the image fits the Canvas. To observe that the resolution of
the image has changed, select the image file in the Media tab of the Project pane, and
then display the Media tab Inspector. The Fixed Width and Fixed Height parameters
display the new resolution of the imported image.
The original image resolution is changed so the
image fits the Canvas.
