49Motion User Guide
When a normal project is changed to a 360° project, existing root-level 2D groups are
converted to 3D groups; you can navigate the project in 360° (the 360° Look Around
and 360° Overview options are available in the Camera menu in the canvas); and the
project is exported using the 360° Overview camera.
When you create a new 360° project (by choosing a 360° Video option in the Preset
pop-up menu in the Project Browser), 360° Monoscopic is the default Projection setting.
See Intro to 360° video in Motion.
• Pixel Aspect Ratio: A pop-up menu to set whether the project is created using square or
nonsquare pixels. Computer displays, film, and high-definition video use square pixels,
while standard-definition video uses nonsquare pixels. Choose Square for projects
intended for the web, high-definition projects, and film, or choose a nonsquare pixel
ratio corresponding to each international standard-definition broadcast format. A value
slider to the right of this pop-up menu displays the numerical aspect ratio, in case you
need to change the dimensions manually.
• Field Order: A pop-up menu to set field order if the project uses interlaced video. Project
field order should match the field order of the device being used to output the resulting
QuickTime file to video. When working with progressive-scan video or film, choose None.
• Frame Rate: A display field to see the project frame rate (in frames per second). Frame
rate should match that of the format you output to. For example, film is 24 fps, PAL
video is 25 fps, and NTSC video is 29.97 fps.
Important: Frame rates cannot be changed for existing projects.
• Duration: A value field to modify the project’s Timeline duration. Use the adjacent pop-
up menu to define the duration units (Frames, Timecode, or Seconds).
• Override FCP: A checkbox (available only in Final Cut Transition projects) that, when
selected, overrides the default transition duration (as defined in the Editing pane of
Final Cut Pro Preferences). See Intro to Final Cut Pro templates in Motion.
• Start Timecode: A value field to set the starting timecode displayed in the project.
• Theme: A pop-up menu to assign a theme to the project.
• Designed for 4K: A checkbox available only in Final Cut Effect, Transition, Generator, or
Title template projects. See Set template resolution in Motion.
• Color Processing: A pop-up menu to set the project’s working color space to Standard
(linear RGB with Rec. 709 color primaries) or Wide Gamut HDR (linear RGB with Rec.
2020 color primaries). See Intro to wide color gamut and HDR in Motion.
• Override FCP Color Space: A checkbox to ensure that a Final Cut Effect, Transition,
Generator, or Title template retains the same appearance when applied to the Final Cut Pro
Timeline, regardless of the Final Cut Pro library’s color processing setting. This checkbox
is available only in template projects. For more information on creating templates for
Final Cut Pro, see Intro to Final Cut Pro templates in Motion. For more information about
color space in templates, see Use wide-gamut HDR color processing in Motion.
• Background Color: A color control to set the background color of the canvas.
• Background: A pop-up menu to define whether the Background Color is rendered as
part of the alpha channel. Regardless of the selection, the Background Color is visible
in the canvas. Choose from these three options:
• Transparent: The background color does not render as part of the alpha channel.
• Solid: The background color creates a solid alpha channel.
