Apple Motion 3 - Manual (Page 183)

Chapter 2 Creating and Managing Projects 183
Because you can have as many open project files in Motion as the amount of RAM in
your computer supports, you can create a new project at any time without having to
close projects that are already open.
To create a new project:
1 Choose File > New (or press Command-N).
2 Choose a preset from the pop-up menu, then click OK.
A new project window is created. It is not saved to disk until you choose a save
command from the File menu. For more information on saving project files, see “
Saving
Projects ” on page 191.
Note: If you have already set a default preset, Motion will open a new project window
at that resolution, bypassing the Select Project Preset dialog.
Creating Blank Projects with Custom Settings
If none of the available presets meets your needs, you can create a new project with
custom project settings from the same window.
To create a new project with custom project settings:
1 Choose File > New (or press Command-N).
Note: If you have already set a default preset, hold down the Option key and choose
File > New From Preset (or press Option-Command-N).
2 Choose Custom from the bottom of the Preset pop-up menu, then click OK.
The Project Properties dialog appears.
