Creating a Custom Profile for Motion


It is recommended that you read Using Tangerine with your Favorite Applications before continuing as it provides an overview of Tangerine concepts and terminology.

When Motion is active, the Custom Profile created in this example will allow you to:

  • Drag a swatch from the palette and drop it on a color well in the Inspector window.

For more information about dragging and dropping color see Dragging and Dropping onto a Color Well and Dragging and Dropping a Color from a Color Well

To create a custom profile for Motion:

  1. Open the Actions window by selecting the 'Actions' menu item in the Tangerine menu. Alternatively, click the 'Open Actions' icon – Show Actions Window Icon – in the Palette window toolbar.
  2. Create a new Custom Profile by clicking the 'Add' button located beneath the Libraries and Profiles List.
  3. Select the profile you have just created in the Libraries and Profiles List. It may already be selected.
  4. Type 'Motion' into the 'Profile Title:' text field.
  5. Click the 'Choose' button beneath the 'Profile Title:' text field. In the window that opens, find and select the Motion application.
  6. Make the following Event Action Pairings in the Event Action Pairings Table:
    • Set 'Drag' to 'General –Color'

Tangerine will use this custom profile next time Motion becomes the active application.
 

Once you have completed the above steps, the Action window should look similar to the diagram below.
