Getting To Know Motion

You can directly manipulate the items in the Canvas to modify their physical attributes
such as position, scale, and rotation, or use familiar drag-and-drop techniques to apply
behaviors or filters directly to the items in the Canvas. See “

Using Behaviors

” on

page 317, and “

Using Filters

” on page 701 to learn more about how to use these

features.

The Status Bar

A Status Bar appears at the top of the Canvas below the Toolbar and provides
information about your project. There are three types of information that can be
displayed: Color, Coordinates, and Frame Rate.
