Transform 2D layers in 3D space in Motion

In the Motion canvas toolbar, click the 3D Transform tool (or press Q).

Select a layer or group in the Layers list or canvas.

3D handles appear on the selected object in the canvas.

Do any of the following:

• Move the object horizontally: Drag the red arrow to move the object along its X axis.

• Move the object vertically: Drag the green arrow to move the object along its Y axis.

• Move the object forward or backward: Drag the blue handle to move the object along its Z axis.

  Tip: If the blue handle is facing forward, drag left or right to move the object forward or backward.

  

• Rotate the object around its X axis: Move the pointer over the top rotation handle until a red rotation ring appears, then drag the ring.

• Rotate the object around its Y axis: Move the pointer over the left rotation handle until a green rotation ring appears, then drag the ring.

• Rotate the object around its Z axis: Move the pointer over the right rotation handle until a blue rotation ring appears, then drag the ring.
