Create a project prepopulated with specific media files
1. In Motion, do one of the following:
• Choose File > Import As > Project (or press Shift-Command-I).
• Open the Project Browser, then click Import as Project.
2. In the dialog that appears, navigate to and select one or more media files, Shift-clicking
to select contiguous items or Command-clicking to select noncontiguous items.
3. If needed, set the frame rate, aspect ratio, field order, and audio mix settings (by
clicking Options in the dialog).
Fixed settings inherent to the selected files remain dimmed, but will propagate to the
new project. For example, because movie files have an inherent frame rate, aspect ratio,
and field order, those settings are dimmed in the dialog.
Except for the Frame Rate parameter, these settings can be modified after the project is
created, in the Properties Inspector. See Intro to project properties in Motion.
Note: If you selected an item from an image sequence, select the Image Sequence
checkbox to have Motion use each image as a frame in a movie clip. See Image
sequences in Motion.
4. Click Import as Project.
A new project populated with the media you selected opens.
