Photoshop files
Although Motion supports layered Photoshop files, it does not support Photoshop
layer sets.
QuickTime
Some Motion documentation incorrectly states that the minimum requirement is
QuickTime 6.5. Motion requires QuickTime 6.5.1 or later.
Shapes
In Select mode, you can double-click a shape to enter shape-editing mode.
Templates
•
Motion does not include pre-made high-definition templates. The Show pop-up
menu in the Template Browser includes "HD" or "Other" categories. These are
included for you to save your own high-definition or custom templates.
•
Although there are several layers named “Replace Here” in various templates, the
objects within the layers should be replaced—not the layers themselves.
•
To quickly find all objects to be replaced in a template, type
replace
in the Layers tab
Search field and press
Enter
. The Replace objects are displayed in the Layers tab.
Timeline
Pasting a region does not paste at the current playhead location.
Suggestion
: Paste the region, then press the
Shift
key while you drag the pasted object.
As you approach the current playhead location, it snaps into place.

Audio
When 24-bit Integer Stereo sound compression is used to export audio, the rendered
audio file plays faster than the original audio file.
Custom behavior
•
When you choose Properties > Blending from the Add Parameter shortcut menu of
the Custom behavior parameters, the Preserve Opacity option is displayed. This
option should not be available.
•
If a project is saved with a Custom behavior that is applied to a shape, and Shape
Animation is selected from the Add > Object shortcut menu, Motion stops
responding when the project is opened.
Filters
•
When using the Glass Distortion filter with some images, the effect of the map image
disappears or shifts position when the Softness parameter is adjusted.
•
When a keying filter is applied to an image with a preexisting alpha channel, the
original alpha channel is replaced.
