Tutorial 2

Basic Motion Behaviors

3

In the bigCircle Dashboard, drag the Opacity slider to 40 percent.

To apply a behavior to the circle:

1

With the bigCircle object selected, click the Add Behavior icon in the Toolbar and
choose the Spin behavior from the Basic Motion submenu.

2

Use the Spin Dashboard to rotate the object in a clockwise direction.

The bigCircle and circleText objects rotate in opposite directions.

To import the additional graphic elements:

1

In the File Browser, navigate to the Tutorial Media folder (default is /Users/Shared/
Motion/Tutorial Media)
, then double-click the Graphics folder to view its contents.

2

Drag the GreenSquares.psd file to the graphics layer in the Layers tab, and hold the
mouse button down over the layer.

The pointer becomes an arrow with a transparent thumbnail of the image. Since the
file is a layered Photoshop file, the import options appear in the drop menu.
