# Motion Workflow Use this skill for Motion app operation and Final Cut Pro template authoring, not Core Animation, AVFoundation, or custom graphics-code work. ## Source Check Open Motion Help or search the local Tips/Help Viewer catalog for `Motion`. Confirm the guide matches the installed app/version before relying on project-type, publish, template, or render behavior. Read `references/project-template-and-render-contract.md` before changing a source project, publishing a template, or rendering an artifact. ## Workflow 1. Classify the task: composition, Final Cut title/effect/generator/transition, source-project repair, behavior/keyframe animation, parameter publishing, media replacement, render/export, or Final Cut Pro handoff. 2. Establish the artifact contract: editable source location, project type, resolution/frame rate/duration/color space, media policy, intended published parameters/category, render format, destination, overwrite rule, and receiving app/version. 3. Inspect before action: project type, current preset/timing/color state, selected layers/groups/behaviors/keyframes, source-media links, template publish state, and output destination. 4. Preserve the source project. Duplicate or use a new project before changing a reusable template, replacing media, flattening/rebuilding layers, or publishing a revision that can replace an installed Final Cut Pro template. 5. Keep parameters and timing intentional. Expose only user-meaningful Final Cut Pro controls,
