Inserting Time
You can select a region in order to add blank playback time into your project. For
example, you might want to add some black frames between two objects, or put some
frames in as a placeholder for a clip you don’t yet have. This is called inserting time.
To insert time into a project:
1
Command+Option-drag in the ruler. Drag as wide an area as you want to insert.
2
Choose Edit > Insert Time.
The number of frames in the region is added to the project, beginning at the end of
the selected region and pushing any existing objects further out in time.
Project Duration
Motion projects default to ten seconds in length. You can change this duration to
match the needs of your project. To learn how to change the default project duration,
