Export to Apple devices in Motion

You can export your project for playback on an Apple device such as iPhone or iPad, or on a home theater system using Apple TV. You can use the default export settings or customize the settings to suit your needs. For information about customizing settings, see Create and modify share destinations.

Share to Apple devices

In Motion, do one of the following:
- Choose File > Share > Apple Devices.
- On the right side of the toolbar, click Share, then choose Apple Devices.
In the Info pane of the Apple Devices window, view or modify project attributes, such as the title and description.
In the Settings pane of the share window, choose your preferred export settings:
- Format: Leave this pop-up menu set to Apple Devices.
- Video Codec: Choose H.264 Better Quality to maximize the quality of your export; choose H.264 Faster Encode to speed up your export. Additional options include HEVC 8-bit, HEVC 10-bit, and HEVC 10-bit (HLG with Dolby Vision 8.4).
  Note: Dolby Vision 8.4 is a format designed to optimize HDR content for Apple Devices. For more information, see the Apple Support article about editing HDR video and the Apple Support article about possible color shifts in shared Dolby Vision HDR video.
- Resolution: Choose a frame size (for example 1920 x 1080 for HD or 3840 x 2160 for 4K). If the Motion project is a lower resolution than the setting you choose here, the exported file uses the project resolution.
- Color Space: The range of color used in the exported movie. The default option (“Use canvas setting”) applies your project’s color space, but you can choose a different color space. For more information about color space, see About color space.
- Color Channels: Choose whether to output color channels (RGB) only, or color channels plus an alpha channel (transparency).
  Note: Not all codecs support an embedded alpha channel. For codecs that don’t support an alpha channel, no alpha channel is saved, regardless of the option you choose in this pop-up menu.
- Audio Format: The audio format is chosen by default based on the selected video codec. (To choose another audio format, you must choose Audio Only from the Format pop-up menu, which then only exports the project’s audio.)
- Duration: Select whether to export the entire project or a play range set in the Timeline.
- Export selected layer only: Select to export a single layer selected in the project. If no layer is selected, or if an object that does not render is selected (such as a rig, a light, or a camera), this option is dimmed.
- Action: Choose what you want to happen after the export is complete, such as adding the file to the Apple TV app or opening the file in QuickTime Player. See Export File destination.
  Note: If you change the destination’s settings, the changes are saved as the default settings for the destination. See Create and modify share destinations.
To see a list of devices that will play the exported file, move the pointer over the compatibility icon in the lower-right corner.
In the Render pane of the Apple Devices window, specify additional Motion-specific export options.
For a description of each setting in the Render pane, see Render settings.
Click Share.
If this is your first time sharing to the Music app or to the Apple TV app, a permissions message appears. Click OK to allow Motion access to the apps.

You can monitor the progress of your export in the Background Task List, and you can continue to work in Motion while the file is rendered.
