iTunes Integration

A Music category has been added to the Motion Library, which allows you to browse
for and import audio files directly from your iTunes library. The Music subcategories
contain any playlists created in iTunes. The content of each playlist appears in the file
stack. When displayed in List view, the Music category shows the Name, Artist, Album,
Duration, and Size information created in iTunes.

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,” or
“Adding an Audio File” in Chapter 13, “Working With Audio.”

Final Cut Pro Integration

When you select clips or sequences to export to Motion, the following properties are
also now retained with the exported project:
Â

Markers (both global and clip markers)

For more information, choose Help > Motion User Manual and see Appendix D,
“Integration With Final Cut Pro.”
