Add snapshot items to a pop-up menu widget
By default, the pop-up menu widget contains three menu items (Snapshot 1, Snapshot 2,
and Snapshot 3). You can add or remove menu items using the Add or Delete button.
1. Select a rig or widget in the Layers list in Motion.
For information about creating rigs and widgets, see Build a simple rig in Motion.
2. In the Rig Inspector or Widget Inspector, choose an item from the pop-up menu, then
do one of the following:
• Add a menu item: Click the Add button (+) to the right of the pop-up menu, enter a
name for the new item in the highlighted field, then press Return.
New snapshots are added below the currently selected snapshot.
• Remove a menu item: Click the Delete button (–) to the right of the pop-up menu.
Control rigs from Animation menus in Motion
Using the Animation menu, you can create or modify a rig while you’re modifying specific
parameters in your project.
Add a parameter to a rig
• In the Inspector in Motion, click the Animation menu for the parameter (the down arrow
that appears when you place the pointer over the right side of a parameter row), choose
Add to Rig > Rig, then choose a rig and a specific widget from the submenus.
The parameter is added to the selected widget in the rig.
Note: You can also create a rig via this submenu.
