- In this exercise, we're going to take the Photoshop file…we imported and animate the individual layers…to explore some of the various options…and tools to assist us in animation.…So before we begin, let me just show you…what we're trying to achieve in this movie.…I'll hit the spacebar, this is a Quicktime movie…of the end results.…You can see a clock animate on screen,…it grows up in scale, followed by some of the pictures…that make up the clock, as well as we have the minute…and hour hand turning around in two revolutions.…
So what we're going to do is exactly this,…we're going to start to organize our project…and get it ready to do this animation.…I'm going to close out my Quicktime player here.…Here we're back inside of Motion…working on our project.…Here are all of the layers…and the first thing I want to do is just set up…the order of how I'd like the layers to be in my project.…So I've got two hands here.…Hand 2 and Hand 1.…The problem is the layer order it's in currently right now…is I want it to be at the top of everything else.…
