 We wrote MotionScope after asking our physics teacher friends what tools they would like to have available to teach and/or study the concepts of projectile motion -- concepts such as velocity, acceleration,​ momentum, and energy.  ​ We wrote MotionScope after asking our physics teacher friends what tools they would like to have available to teach and/or study the concepts of projectile motion -- concepts such as velocity, acceleration,​ momentum, and energy.  ​

 +====== Importing, Exporting, and sharing MotionScope projects ======
 +
 +Through the powers of the Internet (and Google Drive), you can export your MotionScope project and share with others. ​ And they can import your project with its wonderful footage and data, which are zipped up and uploaded to Google Drive upon export.  ​
 +
 +===== Importing a project =====
 +
 +From the **File** menu select **Import...** to bring up the import dialog. ​ Copy the share key into the text box and click the **Import** button. ​ Vizy will then get busy downloading the zip file, unzipping, and installing the project. ​ Easy!  Note, you don't need to have [[#​Configuring Google services|Google services]] configured to import projects.  ​

 +==== Exporting a project ====
 +
 +From the **File** menu select **Export** to bring up the export dialog. ​ Click the **Export** button. ​ Vizy will then get busy zipping up the project and copying it to Google Drive. ​ When it's finished it will present you will a **Copy share key** button. ​

 +Pressing this will copy the "share key" to your clipboard. ​ The share key is just a jumble of text.  You can save the key to a text file, email it, etc.  With this key, someone can import your project. ​
