Export to email in Motion

You can create an email message in the macOS Mail app and include your movie as an attachment.

Share a project using email

  1. In Motion, do one of the following:

    • Choose File > Share > Email.

    • On the right side of the toolbar, click Share, then choose Email.

      Share button in the toolbar

  2. In the Info pane of the Email window, view or modify project attributes, such as the title and description.

  3. In the Settings pane of the Email window, choose your preferred export settings:

    • Compression: Choose a render quality. “Faster encode” sacrifices quality for faster processing.

    • Resolution: Choose a frame size for your movie.

    • 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).

    • 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.

  4. To specify additional Motion-specific options, click Render.

    See Render settings.

  5. Click Share.

    If this is your first time sharing to email, a permissions message appears. Click OK to allow Motion access to the Mail app.

    After rendering is complete, the Mail app opens and an email is created with the Subject field filled in and the movie attached.

    Important: Many email services limit the file size for attachments. If the message exceeds the recommended email size limit, a warning appears in the Email share window.
