Drop zone controls in Motion
You can add any media object to any drop zone, but the object might not have the same
dimensions as the drop zone. Motion provides controls to help ensure that the image
placed in the drop zone is handled as you want—scaling, stretching, and positioning the
object correctly.
The Image Inspector contains the following drop zone controls:
• Type: A pop-up menu that converts the selected layer to a drop zone; click the pop-up
menu, then choose Drop Zone to convert an image layer to a drop zone.
• Source Media: An image well that appears after an image is converted into a drop zone.
Drag a media item to the well from the Media list to change the current drop zone
image.
• To: A pop-up menu providing an alternative method of assigning media to the drop zone.
The menu contains a list of media items in your project. Select an item to assign it to the
drop zone.
• Pan: Value sliders to pan the media within the drop zone. Adjust the X value slider to
move the media horizontally and the Y value slider to move the media vertically.
