Chapter 1 Getting To Know Motion 19
The Utility Window
When you open Motion, the Utility window appears on the left side of the screen and
contains the File Browser from which you can add files to your project. The Utility
window also has tabs to display the Library, which contains all of the effects, templates,
and other goodies that come with Motion, and the Inspector, where you can
manipulate individual settings for those effects.
The Canvas
The majority of your screen is occupied by your main work area, the Canvas. This is
similar to the document window in many other applications. It is here that you arrange
and lay out the objects that comprise your composite. Adding objects and effects to
your project is as simple as dragging them from the Utility window to the Canvas.
