Moving Behaviors to Another Computer
Each customized behavior you drag into the Motion Library is saved as a separate file in
the /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Motion/Library/ folder on your computer.
For example, a saved custom behavior named My Motion Path in the Favorites folder of
the Library appears in the /Users/username/Library/Application
Support/Motion/Library/Favorites/ folder. Items saved to the Library appear in the Finder
with a .molo extension (“Motion Library object“). These items cannot be opened from the
Finder.
If you’ve created custom behaviors that you rely on, you can move them to other
computers that have Motion installed.
To copy a custom behavior to another computer
µ
Copy Motion custom preset files to that computer’s /Users/username/Library/Application
Support/Motion/Library/ folder.
Basic Motion Behaviors
Basic Motion behaviors animate specific parameters of the object to which they are
applied. Some affect position, while others affect scale, rotation, or opacity.
Warning: Building consecutive Basic Motion behaviors or placing such a behavior before
or after the Camera Framing behavior can create unexpected results. These behaviors
can continue to affect the object even after the behavior ends, thus influencing the
subsequent behavior’s animation path. For example, if a Framing behavior is applied
after a Motion Path behavior, the residual effect of the Motion Path behavior is combined
with the animation path generated by the Framing behavior. Consequently, the target
object might be framed improperly.
The following sections cover the Basic Motion behaviors:
