Motion Clarifications
Align to Motion behavior
When using the Motion Path behavior, the Align to Motion behavior (from the
Simulation subcategory) has no effect. Align to Motion is designed to work with a
keyframed animation path. You can use the Snap Alignment to Motion behavior (from
the Basic Motion subcategory) once a Motion Path behavior is applied to an object.
Blend Mode
The Premultiplied Mix blend mode performs an unpremultiply composite—the
foreground image is assumed to be premultiplied. Artifacts may appear as result of
unpremultiplying pixels whose RGB and alpha values are very small (resulting in pixels
with values of 255). In some cases, the hardware performs bilinear filtering and then
the blend mode unpremultiplies the alpha.
Field Dominance
Motion projects with field dominance set in Project Properties, will not be encoded or
rendered with field interlacing unless Field Rendering is enabled in the View menu of
the Canvas. Enabling this setting will also improve playback quality of motion on an
interlaced monitor.
Filters
Pasting a filter does not paste at the current playhead location.
Suggestion : Paste the filter, then press the Shift key while you drag the pasted object.
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.
