Reveal Source Media: Opens the Media tab and highlights the item that corresponds
with the selected item in the Canvas or Timeline. The Inspector is also updated to
reveal the properties of the source media (Shift-F).
Favorites Menu
The Favorites menu remains empty until you create your own favorite effects. Once you
have created favorites and stored them in the Favorites Menu folder in the Library tab,
they appear in the Favorites menu, grouped by type.
Show Favorites Menu Items: Opens the Library and displays the Favorites Menu folder.
View Menu
The View menu contains commands for controlling the Motion interface. Most of these
items affect the Canvas, but some also apply to the Timeline and other panes.
Zoom In: Zooms into the Canvas (Command-equal sign).
Zoom Out: Zooms out of the Canvas (Command-hyphen).
Zoom Level Submenu
This submenu lets you set a particular zoom level, or automatically zooms your Canvas
in or out to fit the entire width of the Canvas window (Shift-Z).
Zoom Time View Submenu
This submenu allows you to automatically zoom the contents of the Timeline.
To Project: Zooms your Timeline so the entire duration of the project fills the window.
To Play Range: Zooms your Timeline so the area between the project In and Out
points fills the window.
Full Screen Mode: Fills your entire monitor with the Canvas (with the Timing and
Project panes hidden). In this mode, you can do all normal Canvas operations including
playback. To leave Full Screen mode, choose the menu item again (F8).
External Video: Sends output to an external video monitor (Command-F1 or F12).
Correct for Aspect Ratio: Adjusts the display of the Canvas to simulate the nonsquare
pixels that appear on a TV monitor.
Show Full View Area: Toggles the display of layers that are completely off or partially
off the edges of the Canvas. Areas that are off the edges of the Canvas appear semi-
transparent by default.
