Render settings

When sharing a Motion project, you can choose from different rendering options to balance
image quality versus rendering time. These options, when available, are found in the Render
pane of the Share window. (If you chose Share > Apple Devices and the Render pane is not
visible, click Show Details.)

Render options

Color: A pop-up menu that sets whether to output Color channels (RGB only, with no
transparency), Alpha channel only, or Color + Alpha (RGB with transparency).
Note: Only some codecs support embedded alpha channels. If you’re outputting to a codec
that doesn’t support alpha channels, no alpha channel is saved, regardless of the option you
choose in this pop-up menu.

Premultiply Alpha: A checkbox that mixes (via multiplication) semitransparent pixels with the
project’s background in the exported file (when the project’s background color is black).

Render Quality: A pop-up menu that sets a Render Quality: Best, Normal, Draft, or Custom.
The Render Quality setting affects the image quality of specific effects but not the image as a
whole. Choosing a lower render quality reduces render times, while choosing a higher render
quality improves the quality of output. For more information, see

page 57.

Fields: A pop-up menu that sets whether to render individual fields. Options include On
(interlaced), Off (progressive), and “Use canvas setting.”

Motion Blur: A pop-up menu that sets whether to apply motion blur to moving objects. The
options are On, Off, or “Use canvas setting.”

Frame Blending: A pop-up menu that sets whether to render frame blending to output smoother,
higher-quality slow motion in your project. The options are On, Off, or “Use canvas setting.”
