Fix the resolution of a group
1. In the Layers list in Motion, select a group.
2. In the Group Inspector, select the Fixed Resolution checkbox.
By default, the group’s resolution is set to the project size; objects in the group but
outside the canvas are cropped. An “R” indicator appears to the left of the Fixed
Resolution checkbox, informing you that the group is rasterized. For more information
on rasterization, see Intro to rasterization in Motion.
3. To set a resolution other than that of the project, adjust the Fixed Width and Fixed
Height sliders.
If the group’s anchor point is offset, the cropping might not occur around the edges of
the canvas, and objects may be cut off.
Note: When you select a layer in a fixed-resolution group, the bounding box around the
layer appears at its original size, unaffected by the containing group’s resolution.
