Intro to creating projects in Motion
Creating a project is the first step in the Motion workflow. The easiest way to create a new project (or to open an existing project) is to use the Project Browser window. When you open Motion, the Project Browser appears.

Use the options in the browser to specify the type of project you want to open:
A new blank project based on one of the supplied Final Cut Pro templates (effects that you build in Motion for use in Final Cut Pro)
A new, blank 360° Motion project or 360° Final Cut Pro template
Before opening the new project, you can also use the Project Browser to modify your project properties—resolution (width and height), frame rate, duration, color processing, or aspect ratio. For example, you might want to choose properties to match your planned output format.
Regardless of the project properties you choose, after you create a project, Motion lets you import nearly any kind of media file supported by QuickTime. Further, you can mix media files with different properties in the same project. For example, you can combine video clips of different frame sizes with graphics files. In the end, the file you export uses the frame size and frame rate specified by the project properties.
After you create a project, you can or save or revert it, play it back, or modify its properties.
