Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 1384)

Additional Output Options
Motion allows you to override the current project and Canvas settings when creating an
output in the Share window. This allows you to modify the included channels, camera
angles, render quality, and render options such as Lighting, shadows, reflections and
depth of field. These settings appear in the Output drawer.
To access the Output drawer
1 In the Share window, click the Show Details button.
2 In the drawer that appears, click the Output button.
Option in the Output drawer
The controls found in the Output drawer are the same as the ones available when
exporting, although they are arranged in a slightly different way.
Use current project and canvas settings: When this checkbox is selected, Motion uses
the current project settings (in the Project Properties dialog) for the output. When this
checkbox is deselected, Motion overrides the current project settings in favor of the
options you select in the Output drawer.
Color: Use this pop-up menu to choose whether the exported items include the color
data only, color data plus alpha channel (transparency), or just the alpha channel data.
Important: Some compressor types do not support alpha channels.
Premultiply alpha: When this checkbox is selected, semi-transparent pixels in your output
are mixed with the project background color.
Camera: A pop-up menu that sets which camera view is used when you output a 3D
project. Use the default Active Camera setting or choose another scene camera.
