Snapshots overview
When you click the Edit Mode Start button in the Widget Inspector or Rig Inspector, Motion
begins recording parameter changes you make (including parameters you animate). Also, a
window appears containing a Stop Rig Edit Mode button.
While Rig Edit Mode is active, you can modify parameters in your project. The parameter changes
you make are stored in the current snapshot. (Other snapshots in the rig are unaffected.) After
you stop Rig Edit Mode, any parameter you modified (in the Canvas, or in the HUD or Inspector)
is added to the Widget Inspector, and its state is saved in the snapshot.
Only one snapshot can be modified per edit mode session. To edit more than one snapshot, end
the editing session, select another snapshot (by clicking another snapshot tag for a slider, by
choosing a new menu item for a pop-up menu, or by changing the state of a checkbox), then
start a new edit mode session.
Parameters affected by a rig display a joystick icon on the right side of the parameter row.
Indicates parameter
is controlled by a rig.
Any parameter controlled by a rig is added to the Widget Inspector, below the Edit Mode Start
button and above the Options parameters.
