    Is there a way to change motion’s default window arrangement?

    example:
    everytime i open motion i have to hit F5 & F6 to bring up my timeline and layers.
    i then have to scale my canvas to fit the window (usually zoom it out)

    i tried looking in prefs without any luck

    thanks!

    Sure you can. First setup the layout as you like (btw, pressing Shift-Z is a quick way to fit the Canvas to the window), then from the Window menu, choose Save Current Layout… and give it a name. With it selected, it will now be your default layout when you launch Motion or create a new project.
