User manual APPLE MOTION 1.0 LATE-BREAKING NEWS

[. . . ] As you approach the current playhead location, it snaps into place. Panning To pan the Canvas at any time, hold the Space bar down, then drag in the Canvas. The Pan tool is temporarily selected in the Toolbar. 1 Particles If you apply certain transformations, such as a scale, rotate, or shear, to an object used as a particle cell source, the transformation is not respected. For example, if you shear a rectangle shape, then use that shape as the source for a particle cell, the emitter uses the original form of the shape (without the shear applied). [. . . ] · Click OK. 4 Late-Breaking News The contents of the project are centered vertically in the new project (going from 486 to 480). At this point, with certain templates, you can optionally choose to nudge the background video up by a pixel. For example, in most lower third and transition templates, the video is assumed to be full-screen, so if you add field-based video to replace the placeholder, you should nudge it up by a pixel to make sure the fields match the fields of the original. For templates in which the placeholder video is already scaled, you do not need to do this. Filters · Applying a Set Matte filter and then a Sepia filter to an image is problematic. For example, the sepia is applied in the matte area, but is also (less intensely) applied to the rest of the image. Workaround: Move the Set Matte filter above the Sepia filter in the Layers tab or Timeline Layer list. Alternatively, you can use masking rather than the Set Matte filter. · Field Rendering does not work with the Time filters (Echo, Strobe, and Wide Time). Workaround: Deinterlace your footage prior to using the Time filters using the Deinterlace filter (in the Video filter subcategory). · The Set Matte filter does not work correctly on duplicated footage set to the Normal Blend Mode and moved in the Timeline. Workaround: Use masking, such as the Image Mask filter, rather than the Set Matte filter. Frame rate Once a project is created, you cannot change the frame rate of that project. Workaround: Create a new project with the desired frame rate. Then in the old project, select all the layers in the Layers tab. Drag the selected layers to the Layers tab in the new project. You may have to adjust the timing of keyframes and objects in your project to match the new frame rate. Gestures The "to edit a project marker" gesture command does not function as described in the documentation Workaround: Double-click, or Control-click the marker and choose Edit Marker from the shortcut menu. Gradient generator When the blend mode for a Gradient generator is set to anything other than Normal on computers with ATI Radeon graphics cards, performance will be degraded significantly. Workaround: Apply a gradient to a shape instead. Late-Breaking News 5 Hardware CinéWave hardware installed on a computer is not recognized by Motion and does not appear in the Output Preferences. Workaround: Make sure the Motion project size matches one of the output modes supported on the CinéWave card. Integration · Clips exported from the browser in Final Cut Pro do not appear correctly in Motion. Workaround: Export the clip from the Final Cut Pro Timeline, rather than from the Bin. Alternatively, you can change the aspect ratio of the clip in Motion. To change the pixel aspect ratio in Motion, select the clip in the Media tab (in the Project pane) and set the pixel aspect ratio in the Media tab of the Inspector. · When a clip or image is resized in Final Cut Pro, the image appears larger when opened in Motion. [. . . ] This should be Shift+Right Arrow · Incorrect View menu commands on page 290 (among others): · Documentation incorrectly states that "You can also choose View > Go To > Next Marker" and "You can also choose View > Go To > Previous Marker. " The option "Go To" appears under the "Mark" menu, not under the "View" menu. · Incorrect multi-selection information on pages 167 and 202: · Documentation incorrectly states that Command-click in the Canvas can be used to select or deselect. You can Command-click in the Layers tab or the Timeline Layer list. · The shortcut key to set a project (global) marker when an object is selected is Shift+M. [. . . ]
