Deleting Objects
Removing objects from your project can be just as important as adding them. Motion
provides three ways to remove an object.
Delete: Removes the object and leaves a gap in the Timeline where it was.
Ripple Delete: Removes the object and closes up the gap left behind in one step. If
the objects are within a layer, the layer is split into two layers.
Cut: Deletes the object leaving the gap, and copies the object to the Clipboard for
later pasting.
To delete an object:
1 Select the object you want to delete.
2 Choose Edit > Delete (or press Delete).
You can also Control-click the object, then choose Delete from the shortcut menu.
To ripple delete an object:
1 Select the object you want to delete.
2 Choose Edit > Ripple Delete (or press Command+Delete).
