Bypass the Project Browser in Motion
If you consistently create projects with a specific preset, template, or other starting
project, you can bypass the Project Browser. This way, when you create a project, it’s
opened in the Motion window with the settings you established.
1. In Motion, choose Motion > Preferences (or press Command-Comma).
2. Click Project.
3. In the For New Documents area, click Use Project.
Note: If you haven’t assigned a preset project, the setting reads: Use Project: Nothing
Selected. When you choose a project, the text updates to reflect the name of the
selected project.
4. Click Choose.
5. In the window that appears, select a category in the sidebar and a project type from the
center area, then choose a preset (if available) from the right column.
6. Click Open.
The selected project is assigned to the Use Project option in the Project pane of the
Preferences window. From now on, the Project Browser does not appear when you choose
File > New (or press Command-N). Instead, a new project opens in the format set in
Motion Preferences.
Create and modify project presets in Motion
If you commonly create projects using properties that don’t match any available preset,
you can create a custom preset for future use. Presets are created, modified, and deleted
in the Presets pane of Motion Preferences.
Note: The Default checkbox in the Presets pane of Motion Preferences has no effect. To
set a default project preset, see Bypass the Project Browser in Motion.
Create a custom preset
1. In Motion, choose Motion > Preferences (or press Command-Comma).
2. Click Presets.
3. Click the Add button (+) beneath the presets list.
4. In the Project Preset Editor, enter the following information:
a. Name: Type a name for the preset.
b. Description: Type a brief description of what that preset is for, including significant
characteristics such as frame size and frame rate.
c. Width and Height: Enter a frame size.
d. Projection Type: Choose Normal to create a standard project preset or 360°
Monoscopic to create a 360° project preset.
