As projects get more complex, tracking which elements are animated and how they are animated gets tricky. Fortunately, Motion has a menu option that quickly allows you to see any modified settings or keyframes applied to a selected element.
With your project open, display the Keyframe Editor (shortcut: Cmd + 8). Next, select the element with the settings you want to review.
Then, in the top left corner, click the Animated menu. Here, you have several options:
- All. Shows all settings for the selected element, whether modified or note.
- Animated. Settings which have keyframes applied.
- Modified. Setting which were changed from their defaults, whether or not keyframes were applied.
Other options limit the settings that are displayed to minimize visual clutter.
