Dashboard In Motion
For all of you Avid and Final Cut Pro users out there who have not dabbled with Motion, the dashboard feature provides quick and easy manipulation of layers and objects within your project. A dashboard consists of all of the popular controls for an item or layer that you have selected and appears as a small, floating, light gray window to the side of your project.
Select a different layer, add a new object from Motion's library, or import new items and place them in your project, the Dashboard will change to give you the essential controls for that particular item.
