You can also choose to show All formats or Other formats.
The Theme list shows all templates of the selected type.
3 Click a template theme to display its contents at the right.
4 Click an individual template to see a preview of it in the preview area, along with
additional information including its resolution, duration, and frame rate.
5 To create a new project from the selected template, click Open Template.
A new project is created using the objects contained in that template. You can then
customize the project by editing the text objects or exchanging the graphic elements it
uses with your own. The changes you make to projects created using templates are not
saved back to the source template file.
For more information about using, modifying, and creating templates, see
“
Customizing and Creating New Templates ” on page 250.
Creating Blank Projects from Project Presets
If you’re creating a new project from scratch, but the final result is going to conform to
one of the common standards for web delivery, broadcast, or film output, you can use
one of the project presets that ships with Motion. Unlike a template, choosing a preset
only defines the essential properties of the project, such as the frame size and frame
rate. The resulting project is completely empty, ready for you to add your own objects.
