[. . . ] 1 Late-Breaking News About Motion 1. 0. 1 Fixed Known Issues in Motion 1. 0. 1 The following Motion 1. 0 known issues have been fixed in Motion 1. 0. 1. Drop Shadow On computers with ATI Radeon graphics cards, turning on the Drop Shadow checkbox for a layer in the Layer Dashboard after changing the Blend Mode to something other than Normal causes Motion to quit unexpectedly. Keyframe Editor When an object is animated (using keyframes) and Show is set to Active in the Keyframe Editor, and you select then deselect the animated object in the Canvas, then click in the Keyframe Editor, Motion may quit unexpectedly. Monitors If using a dual-monitor setup, the View pop-up menu may appear on your second monitor when using the default Standard layout (View > Layouts > Standard). [. . . ] Keyframe Editor Drag-selecting keyframes near frame 1 in the Keyframe Editor may be problematic. For example, when drag-selecting keyframes at or near frame 1 to beyond the half-way marker of the Keyframe Editor's scale, all keyframes on all curves are selected. Library The Favorites category does not display descriptions of built-in presets. Control-click the favorite, then choose Edit Description from the shortcut menu to add a description that appears in the Preview area of the Library. NFS Volume If you browse to an NFS network volume in the File Browser, select an object, Controlclick and choose Move to Trash, the item is deleted immediately, bypassing the trash, and without displaying the Finder's "The item will be deleted immediately" dialog. QuickTime When importing a QuickTime movie containing fields into Motion, the fields may be lost if the Movie and Video tracks specify different sizes (for example, the Movie track is 486 and the Video track is 480). This is because QuickTime automatically resizes the file, and the fields become corrupted. Such movies can be created, for example, if you export SD video to DV without first resizing the project to 480. Templates (French version only): Audio is not previewed with a saved template. Motion Known Issues With Workarounds Audio · Cache corruption occurs when playback starts before the drawing of the audio waveform is completed. Workaround: Choose Mark > RAM Preview > Clear RAM Preview to clear the cache. · If an audio file does not start at the first frame of a project, creating object markers in the Audio Editor is problematic. They are either not created, or created in the incorrect position (not at the playhead location). Workaround: Add object markers in the Timeline rather than the Audio Editor. Exporting When exporting an NTSC D1 SD project that contains fields to NTSC DV, the fields are scaled, and therefore do not match the original NTSC D1 SD fields. Late-Breaking News 5 Workaround: Convert the NTSC D1 project (for example, any built-in templates) to NTSC DV. To convert an NTSC D1 project to an NTSC DV project: · Choose Edit > Project Properties (Command+J ). · Click the Preset pop-up menu, then choose NTSC DV. · Click OK. 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. [. . . ] For example, a "normal" increment for Opacity is 1, a "fine" increment is . 1, and a "coarse" increment is 10. " The fine increment for the Opacity parameter is . 01. · The movie that plays in the Welcome Screen has been changed from the movie illustrated in the documentation. Motion Help · Page 24 states "When you want to watch your project play back, the transport controls at the bottom of the window allow you to play at regular speed, fast speed, or frame by frame. " There is no option to play a project at "fast speed. " · Incorrect descriptions on page 122: · Previous Marker: Moves the playhead to the closest marker earlier in time (Option+Command+Up Arrow). This should be Option+Command+Left Arrow. [. . . ]
