Repeating Use of Images in Motion
When you want to use the same clip, photo, or image in Motion there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. You do not want to reimport the same media more than once, because it will slow you down, and fill up the RAM. Instead you should simply duplicate the item, which will reference the same source media as the original. By highlighting the item in the layers tab of the project pane, all you need to do is press apple D to duplicate it. If you are going to be adding behaviors and or filters, you can wait until you have done so before you duplicate, so you won't have to do it twice.
