Importing into Motion…and rendering therein

[Simon Ubsdell]

[John Mendelsohn] “Is there a way, when importing multiple JPEGs or PNGs, to avoid each of them going into a separate group?

Shift select them in the Finder or File Browser and drag them into a group – rather than hitting the Import button.

Also, why, when I’ve adjusted the In and Out bars on the Timeeline, does the program render even the stuff I wish to exclude? How to get it to render only between In and Out, please?”

If you have a play range created (Alt/Cmd+I to set the inpoint, Alt/Cmd+O to set the outpoint), the Export movie dialogue will allow you to choose Use Play Range for the export duration. If you don’t have a play range set, this option will be greyed out.
