Custom canvass view options in Motion

The pop-upward menus in the top-correct side of the canvas let you customize various view settings, including zoom level, color channels, rendering options, overlay options, and 3D view layouts.

Important: In 360° projects, many of the View and Overlay options, such every bit rulers, guides, safe zones, and so on are not always available. See Intro to 360° video in Motion.

Zoom Level pop-upward menu

Choose any of several default zoom levels. Zooming the canvass changes the current view of the window, non the size of the images in your project. Meet Zoom or pan the sail in Motion.

Channels pop-up menu

Choose which color channels are displayed in the canvas:

• Color: Shows the image every bit it would announced on a video monitor. Visible layers announced in natural colour and transparent areas reveal the groundwork colour every bit set up in the Properties Inspector for the project. The background color is black by default. To change it, press Command-J, then choose a color from the Background Colour command in the Properties Inspector.

  Note: To export the background color with the project, make sure the Background popular-up menu in the Properties Inspector is prepare to Solid. This option creates a solid alpha channel on export (when exporting using a codec that supports blastoff channels). When the Groundwork popular-up menu is set up to Transparent, the color is visible in the canvas, but does not return every bit part of the alpha channel.

• Transparent: Shows the background area of the canvass as transparent. A checkerboard design appears past default where no images block the groundwork.

• Alpha Overlay: Displays the image in normal color, simply adds a ruby highlight over transparent areas of the image.

• RGB Only: Displays the normal mix of scarlet, greenish, and bluish channels only displays transparent areas (including semitransparent areas) as opaque.

• Red: Displays merely the crimson channel as a range of blackness to white.

• Greenish: Displays only the light-green channel every bit a range of black to white.

• Blue: Displays only the blue channel equally a range of black to white.

• Alpha: Displays the alpha (transparency) channel of the layers in the sheet.

• Inverted Alpha: Displays an inverted view of the alpha (transparency) channel.

• Exposure: Displays the overexposed areas of the limerick. Out of gamut values are indicated in the canvas by a red-and-white stripe pattern.

• Saturation: Displays the oversaturated areas of the composition. Out of gamut values are indicated in the canvas by a blue-and-white stripe blueprint.

Render carte

Cull the return quality and resolution of the sail display, and enable or disable features that can impact playback functioning. When an option is active, a checkmark appears beside the menu item. If a complex project is causing your figurer to play at a very low frame rate, you can brand changes in this menu to reduce the strain on the processor. This frees you from waiting for the epitome to exist rendered at full resolution each fourth dimension y'all make an adjustment, assuasive you to lookout man circuitous projects at high frame rates while yous work.

The Return pop-upwardly menu displays the following items:

• Dynamic: Reduces the quality of the image displayed in the canvas during playback or scrubbing in the Timeline or mini-Timeline, assuasive for faster feedback. Also reduces the quality of an epitome as information technology is modified in the canvas. When playback or scrubbing is stopped, or the modification is completed in the canvas, the image quality is restored (based on the Quality and Resolution settings for the project).

• Full: Displays the sheet at full resolution (Shift-Q).

• Half: Displays the canvas at half resolution.

• Quarter: Displays the canvas at one-quarter resolution.

• Draft: Renders objects in the canvas at a lower quality to let optimal project interactivity. In that location'south no anti-aliasing.

• Normal: Renders objects in the sail at a medium quality. Shapes are anti-aliased, but 3D intersections are not. This is the default setting.

• Best: Renders objects in the canvas at best quality, which includes higher-quality paradigm resampling, anti-aliased intersections, anti-aliased particle edges, and sharper text.

• Custom: Allows y'all to gear up additional controls to customize rendering quality. Choosing Custom opens the Avant-garde Quality Options dialog. See Avant-garde Quality settings.

• Lighting: Turns the upshot of lights in a projection on or off. This setting does non turn off lights in the Layers list (or light scene icons), but it disables light shading effects in the sail.

• Shadows: Turns the effect of shadows in a project on or off.

• Reflections: Turns the effect of reflections in a project on or off.

• Depth of Field: Turns the effect of depth of field in a project on or off.

• Motility Blur: Enables/disables the preview of motility blur in the canvas. Disabling motion mistiness may improve performance.

  Note: When creating an outcome, title, transition, or generator template for use in Final Cut Pro, the Motion Blur detail in the View pop-upward menu controls whether motion blur is turned on when the project is applied in Final Cutting Pro. Run across Intro to Final Cut Pro templates in Motion.

• Field Rendering: Enables/disables field rendering. Field rendering is required for smooth motion playback on many Tv set monitors. Field rendering about doubles rendering time, so disabling this particular may improve operation.

  Notation: When creating an effect, title, transition, or generator template for utilise in Terminal Cut Pro, the Field Rendering setting in the View pop-up menu does not control whether field rendering is applied in Final Cutting Pro. Rather, field rendering is controlled in the Backdrop Inspector for the project. (Press Command-J to open the Properties Inspector.) When Field Order is prepare to anything other than None, field rendering is used in Terminal Cutting Pro, regardless of the Field Rendering status in the View pop-up menu.

• Frame Blending: Enables/disables frame blending in the canvass. Frame blending tin polish the advent of video frames by interpolating the pixels between adjacent frames to create a smoother transition.

View and Overlay pop-upwards menu

Cull layout guides and controls that can be viewed in the canvas. When an option is agile, a checkmark appears beside the carte du jour item. (Many of these carte options are also available in the View menu in the menu bar.)

The View and Overlay popular-up menu displays the following items:

• Show Overlays: Enables or disables the display of rulers, grids, guides, and other layout overlays in the canvass. This setting must exist on to view any other overlay items. To turn the photographic camera overlays on or off, use Show 3D Overlays.

  Annotation: You can also press Control-Slash (/).

• Rulers: Turns display of the rulers along the edge of the canvass on or off. You tin can specify where the rulers appear in the Canvas pane (Alignment section) of Move Preferences. See Use rulers and guides in Movement.

  Notation: Y'all can also printing Shift-Control-R.

• Filigree: Turns a grid display on and off in the canvas. Yous can gear up the spacing and color of the filigree in the Sail pane (Alignment department) of Motility Preferences.

  In 360° projects, the Grid command is non always available. Run across Intro to 360° video in Movement.

  Note: You can also press Control-Apostrophe (').

• Guides: Turns display of manually created guides on and off. Guides tin simply be created if rulers are displayed. You can change the colour of the guides in the sail pane (Alignment department) of Movement Preferences.

  Note: You can also press Command-Semicolon (;).

• Dynamic Guides: Turns display of automatic dynamic guides on and off. These guides appear when you drag a layer past edges of other layers when snapping is enabled (choose View > Snap). You can change the color of dynamic guides in the Canvas pane (Alignment section) of Motion Preferences.

  Note: You tin also press Shift-Command-Colon (:).

• Safe Zones: Turns display of the championship prophylactic and activity condom guides on and off. By default, these guides are set at 80% and 90%. You can change these settings and the color of the guides in the Sail pane (Zones section) of Motion Preferences.

  Note: Y'all can also press the Apostrophe key (').

• Movie Zone: Turns display of flick attribute ratio guides on and off. This tin can be helpful if you are creating a project for videotape to exist transferred to film. You can change the size of the guides as well as their color in the Canvass pane (Zones department) of Motion Preferences.

  Annotation: You lot can also press Shift-Quotation Mark (").

• Handles: Turns display of object handles in the canvas on and off. Some onscreen transformations, such as resizing, crave visible object handles. Handles appear only on selected objects.

• Lines: Turns display of lines that outline an object on and off. Lines announced only on selected objects.

• Blitheness Path: Turns animation paths on and off. These editable paths indicate the route along which animated objects travel. If the selected object is not positionally blithe, this command does not appear to have whatever result. If handles are non displayed, the path curves cannot be adjusted in the canvass. Except for the Motion Path beliefs, animation paths created by behaviors are for brandish only and are not editable.

• Show 3D Overlays: Turns 3D overlays in the canvas on and off, including Camera overlays, 3D view tools, 3D compass, inset view, 3D grid, and 3D scene icons. (3D overlays appear in projects that incorporate 3D groups. See View 3D overlays in Movement.)

  Annotation: You can also printing Choice-Control-Slash (/).

• 3D View Tools: Turns the Camera bill of fare and 3D view tools in the canvas on and off. See Use 3D view tools in Motility.

• Compass: Turns the 3D compass in the sheet on and off. Using red, green, and blue axes, the compass shows your current orientation in 3D space. The cherry-red centrality is Ten (horizontal), the green centrality is Y (vertical), and the blue centrality is Z (depth). Run across Cameras and views in Movement.

• Inset View: Turns the inset view in the sheet on and off. When enabled, a temporary window appears in the lower-right corner of the sail displaying an active camera or Perspective view of the project, helping you stay oriented every bit you lot move objects in 3D space. In the 3D pane of Move Preferences, yous can change the size of the inset view, as well as control whether the inset view appears on transform changes, on all changes, or manually. See Set a 3D inset view in Motion.

• 3D Grid: Turns the grid in the canvas on and off. The 3D filigree helps y'all stay oriented and can be used to guide the placement of objects in your project. The 3D grid appears when you lot are in a 3D workspace. See Display a 3D grid in Motility.

• 3D Scene Icons: Turns the display of cameras and lights in the sail on or off. Scene icons announced in the canvas equally wireframe icons. Lights appear with red (10), greenish (Y), and blue (Z) adjust 3D handles that permit you transform and rotate them. The handles are still displayed when the 3D scene icons command is turned off. See Display 3D scene icons in Motility.

• Correct for Attribute Ratio: Applies an artificial baloney of the canvass in projects with nonsquare pixels. When the setting is on, the computer monitor simulates what a Television monitor displays. When the setting is off, projects with nonsquare pixels appear stretched. This is because computer monitors accept square pixels. This setting does not change the output of the projection.

• Evidence Full View Expanse: When enabled, this setting lets yous see the portion of a layer that extends beyond the edge of the canvas. This setting is disabled past default, considering information technology slows your project'south interactivity.

  

• Use Driblet Zones: Turns drib zones on and off. When Employ Drop Zones is enabled, a checkmark appears next to the menu particular, and drop zones accept objects dragged to them. When this command is turned off, drop zones ignore objects dropped onto them. See Intro to driblet zones in Motion.

• Relieve View Defaults: Saves the current state of all settings in this menu as the default state for new projects.

View Layouts pop-up card

Choose a preferred view your projection in the sail. Yous can view the sail as a unmarried workspace or choose from available window arrangements in the menu. (Although the workspace views are available for 2D projects, they are most useful when working in 3D infinite.)

The View Layouts pop-up menu displays the following items:

• Single: The default value, displays a single window in the canvass.

• Two-up, side by side: Displays ii windows in the canvas, one side by side to the other.

• Two-upwardly, top and bottom: Displays two windows in the canvass, one on elevation of the other.

• Three-upwardly, large window below: Displays iii windows, two next to each other on top and a larger window below.

• Three-up, large window correct: Displays three windows, 2 stacked on the left side and a larger window spanning the right side.

• Four-upwards, big window right: Displays four windows, three stacked on the left side and one larger window on the correct side.

• Four-up: Displays 4 windows, yet size.
