Fine-Tuning Keyframes

To make adjusting the value of keyframes easier, Motion now allows you to double-
click on a keyframe in the Keyframe Editor and type in a number. You can also scrub or
type a number in the value field in the Keyframe Editor parameter list. Also, when
multiple keyframes are selected and you modify the tangent handles of one point, the
tangent handles of all selected keyframes are modified.

For more information, choose Help > Motion User Manual and see Chapter 6,
“Keyframing and Curves.”

Integration Enhancements

Enhancements have been made in Motion’s integration with Soundtrack Pro, Multi-
Track QuickTime movie files, multi-channel audio files, iPhoto, iTunes, and Final Cut Pro.

Soundtrack Pro Integration

Soundtrack Pro can be opened from within Motion and used to modify an audio file.
After the file has been edited and saved in Soundtrack Pro, the audio file is
automatically updated in Motion.

For more information, choose Help > Motion User Manual and see “Using Soundtrack
Pro With Motion” in Chapter 13, “Working With Audio.”

Multi-Track QuickTime Movie and Multi-Channel Audio File
Support

Motion now supports multi-channel audio files and multi-track QuickTime movie files.
You have the option to import the audio files as a single track, or with separate tracks
representing each channel in the audio file or each track in the QuickTime move file.

For more information, choose Help > Motion User Manual and see “Adding a Multi-
Track QuickTime Movie File” or “Adding a Multi-Channel Audio File” in Chapter 13,
“Working With Audio.”

iPhoto Integration

A Photos category has been added to the Motion Library, which allows you to browse
for and import image files directly from your iPhoto library. The Photos subcategories
contain any albums created in iPhoto. The content of each album appears in the file
stack.

For more information, choose Help > Motion User Manual and see “Adding iTunes and
iPhoto Files From the Library” in Chapter 2, “Creating and Managing Projects.”
