Add Library content to a project in Motion
You can add Library content (special effects and premade graphical elements) to a project
in several different ways.
Add Library content to a project
1. In the Library in Motion, select a category and subcategory in the navigation pane and
an item in the Library stack.
For example, select the Filters category, select a filter subcategory, then select a filter
in the Library stack.
A preview of the selected Library item appears in the preview area.
2. Do either of the following:
• Click the Apply button to the right of the preview area.
• Drag the item from the Library stack to a location in the canvas, or into the empty
lower area of the Layers list or Timeline.
The item is placed inside a new group at the top of the Layers list and Timeline, and the
content appears in the canvas or under the selected layer in your project.
Note: Some categories of Library content are designed to modify specific types of
layers. For example, items in the Text Styles category of the Library can be applied only
to text layers in your project. If nothing happens when you try to add a Library item,
make sure you’ve applied it to a suitable group or layer.
Add Library content to a specific group or layer in a project
1. In the Library in Motion, select a category and subcategory in the navigation pane and
an item in the Library stack.
For example, click the Filters category, click a filter subcategory, then click a filter in the
Library stack.
A preview of the selected Library item appears in the preview area.
2. Do either of the following:
• Select a specific group or layer in the Layers list or Timeline, then click Apply in the
preview area.
• Drag the item from the Library stack to a specific group or layer in the Layers list
or Timeline.
The item is placed in the group or applied to the layer.
Note: Some categories of Library content are designed to modify specific types of
layers. For example, items in the Text Styles category of the Library can only be applied
to text layers in your project. If nothing happens when you try to add a Library item,
make sure you’ve applied it to a suitable group or layer.
There’s an additional way to add generators, behaviors, and filters—using the pop-up
menus in the toolbar. See Add a generator in Motion, Apply or remove filters in Motion, and
Add, remove, or disable behaviors in Motion.
