Exporting With Compressor

You can export your project using the Apple Compressor application. When you export
using Compressor, you can use the presets included with Compressor for your exported
file.

There are two ways you can export a Motion project using Compressor. From within
Motion, you can choose Export using Compressor from the File menu. From within
Compressor, you can drag the Motion project into the Batch window.

When you export your project using Compressor, Motion saves a temporary copy of
the project. You can continue working with the project while it is being exported, or
work on another project in Motion.
