Render Quality:

Allows you to choose Draft, Normal, Best, or Custom quality for your

final output. The better the quality, the longer the render time. For descriptions of Draft,
Normal, Best, and Custom render qualities, see the Render pop-up menu section in

Canvas

View Options

. Selecting Custom opens the Advanced Quality Options dialog. For more

about the Advanced Quality Options dialog, see

Advanced Quality Settings

.

Field Rendering:

When this checkbox is selected, the output always renders individual

fields regardless of the setting in the View menu pop-up menu (above the right side of
the Canvas). When it is deselected, frames are rendered whole, regardless of the setting
in the View pop-up menu.

Motion Blur:

When this checkbox is selected, motion blur is applied to moving layers

regardless of the setting in the View pop-up menu (above the right side of the Canvas).
When deselected, no motion blur is applied.

Frame Blending:

When this checkbox is selected, frame blending is applied to moving

footage in the rendered output. The result can be smoother looking playback, but this
option can increase rendering time.

Use Float Bit Depth:

When working in float color space, turning this setting off drops

the rendered output to 8-bit. Because working in float space drastically increases
processing time, turn this setting off to speed your rendering time. This setting does not
affect the use of float bit depth in the Canvas.

Gestures Pane

The Gestures Preferences pane contains settings pertaining to using a graphics tablet to
control Motion.

You cannot turn on gestures in Motion unless you have a tablet attached to your computer
and Handwriting Recognition is turned on in the Ink preferences in System Preferences.
For convenience, you can open Ink Preferences directly from the Gestures Preferences
pane by clicking the Open Ink Preferences button.

For more information on using gestures, see

Using Gestures

.

Note: Swipes, pinches and other multi-touch gestures performed on a Multi-Touch
trackpad are unaffected by any settings in the Gestures tab of the preferences.
