The Project pane is used to organize and reorder project elements and to control audio.
The Timing pane contains the full-featured Timeline, Keyframe Editor, and Audio Editor,
which give you an editable, global view of your project, including all project elements
and animated parameters.
The following sections discuss the Utility window and the Canvas, in an order that
represents a typical workflow. The File Browser is addressed first, since it is used to
import media files into a Motion project. The Canvas is discussed next, which is where
you drag the files from the File Browser. Once the files are imported, the discussion
moves back to the Utility window to introduce the Library and the Inspector. From the
Library, you browse and apply effects to objects in the Canvas. The applied effects are
then edited in the Inspector and the Dashboards.
