Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. First thing you're going to want to do when you start up PulpMotion is to create a composition. To do that, you can come up to file and select new composition. It's going to give you dialogue that looks like this. You need to give your composition a name. I'm just going to name mine new comp. Then you need to select a theme, or you can also search for themes down here at the bottom. If I start typing in Christmas, it's going to show me a Christmas night one. I'm just going to select that and click create. Over here underneath compositions, it's going to say new comp. That’s my composition that I just created. Another way to create compositions is to click this plus button down here at the bottom left. It's going to bring up the same dialogue. I'm going to get rid of the search box and select a different theme. I'm going to select the slice one and hit create. I'm going to have my newest composition underneath my other one. You can switch between these different compositions as you see fit. You can work on more than one composition at a time. You can also change themes at any time by selecting a composition you want to change the theme for. Selecting a new one. That's automatically going to change the theme to a different one. That's how you create a composition is PulpMotion.
