2. Copy a custom saved object file (with a .molo filename extension) to the /Users/
username/Library/Application Support/Motion/Library/ folder on another computer that
has Motion installed.
Make sure that you also copy any imported graphics, images, or movie files used to create
your custom material (such as a JPEG file used as the source for a particle emitter). After
you open the project, relink to the source media files. See Reconnect offline media in the
Media Inspector.
Copy a project preset to another computer
Each custom project preset you create (such as Broadcast HD 720) is saved as a separate
file in your computer’s /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Motion/Presets/ folder.
If you create custom presets that you rely on, you can move them to other computers that
have Motion installed.
1. In the macOS Finder, open your custom preset files to that computer’s /Users/
username/Library/Application Support/Motion/Presets/ folder.
Note: If the Library folder is hidden in the Finder, press and hold the Option key, then
choose Go > Library.
2. Copy a custom preset file (with a .preset filename extension) to that computer’s /Users/

For information on creating project presets, see Create and modify project presets in
Motion.
Use color and gradient controls
Intro to using color controls in Motion
Use color controls to set the color of objects such as shapes, text, replicators, particles,
and gradients. Use the gradient editor to select a preset gradient or to change gradient
parameters, such as color, opacity, direction, and so on.
For information about selecting colors suitable for high-dynamic-range (HDR) projects, see
Choose wide-gamut HDR colors in Motion.
