Motion 5 - Transforming a Group

Transforming a Group

If you select an entire group, all layers and groups nested in it are treated as a single layer.
One set of transform handles appears on a bounding box that encompasses every layer
in that group. All layer transforms occur around a single anchor point belonging to the
group.

After scaling

Before

If you select a layer and its parent group, the following occurs:

• The scale handles of the parent group remain available, and the scale handles of the

individual layers within the group are dimmed. Dragging the group’s scale handles
scales the group, not its nested objects.

• The rotation handles of the individual layers remain available. Dragging an object’s

rotation handle rotates that object.
