Particle Emitters
Motion contains many new particle emitters. To achieve the optimal look for the
following particle emitters, it is recommended to enable motion blur in your project:
 Jelly Bands
 Light Transit 1
 Light Transit 2
 Light Transit 3
 Light Transit 4
 Rain Streaks
 Silly String 1
 Silly String 2
To enable motion blur, do one of the following:
m Choose Motion Blur from the View pop-up menu.
m Choose View > Motion Blur (or press Option-M).
Templates
Two additional HD templates are available in a separate install from the Motion DVD.
To install the additional HD templates:
1 Insert the Motion installation DVD into your computer’s DVD drive.
2 Double-click the Motion HD Templates icon, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Note: If you installed Motion Content to an alternate drive, the installer automatically
places the HD templates in that alternate location. If you have not installed Motion
Content, the HD templates are installed in the default location (/Users/Shared/Motion/).
Important: It is recommended that you open Motion before you install the HD
templates so that Motion can identify the location of the previously installed content.
Unless you installed the Motion HD templates from the installation DVD, no pre-made
high definition templates appear in the Show pop-up menu of the Template Browser,
which includes the HD and Other categories. These categories are included for you to
save your own high definition or custom templates.
