Once an operation triggers a rasterization on a group, the rasterization indicator
appears next to the parameter in the Properties tab.
Additionally, a small frame appears around the 2D or 3D group icon (to the left of the
group name) in the Layers tab and Timeline layers list.
For more information on rasterization, see “ 3D Compositing ” in the Motion
Supplemental Documentation PDF.
Inspector Tabs
The parameters in the Inspector are grouped into four categories.
Properties: This tab contains basic attributes for the selected object, such as Transform
(position, scale, rotation, and so on), Blending (opacity, blend mode, and so on), Drop
Shadow controls, Four Corner controls, Crop controls, and the object’s In and Out
points.
Note: Different parameters are available in the Properties tab depending on the type of
object that is selected. For example, when a 3D group is selected, the Lighting
parameter appears in the tab and the Crop, Drop Shadow, and Four Corner parameters
do not.
Behaviors: When behaviors are applied to an object, the parameters associated with
the behaviors appear in the Behaviors tab when that object is selected. Multiple
behaviors are grouped by the behavior name.
Filters: Whenever a filter is applied to a layer (or mask), the parameters associated with
that filter appear in the Filters tab. Multiple filters are grouped by the filter name.
Object: The Object tab changes its contents and title depending on what type of
object is selected. The different types of objects are described below:
 Object: Appears when there is no currently selected object. There are no parameters
in the Object tab of the Inspector.
