The project stack at the center of the File Browser displays thumbnails of available projects
(blank and saved) in the category selected in the sidebar.
You can further filter the contents of the stack by entering a word in the search field or using
the Theme pop-up menu at the bottom of the stack. Choosing a theme limits the display to
projects assigned to that theme. You can control the size of the thumbnails in the project stack
by dragging the scale slider at the bottom of the window, which lets you view more items
without scrolling.
When you select an item in the stack, the right column of the Project Browser displays file
settings and a video preview, if one is available.
Before opening a new project, you can modify its preset resolution, frame rate, and duration
using the pop-up menus above the preview area.
Open a project
There are several ways to locate and open a Motion project from the Project Browser.
Note: When more than one Motion project is open, choose a project name from the lower
portion of the Window menu to bring that project to the front. Additionally, you can use the OS
X Mission Control and Exposé system commands to see all open project windows at once. For
more information on how to use the Mission Control and Exposé commands, see OS X Help (in
the Finder, choose Help > Help Center).
