When an imported media file contains fields, and Field Dominance is set and Motion
Blur is enabled in Motion, the motion within the frames of a movie is affected.
Workaround
: Deinterlace the imported media using the Deinterlace filter (in the
Video filter subcategory).
Particles
Performance can degrade when adjusting a Motion Path behavior that is applied to a
particle emitter.
Workaround
: To improve performance, apply a keyframe path to the particle emitter
instead.
QuickTime
When a Motion project is opened in QuickTime, the Save or Save As command causes
QuickTime to quit unexpectedly.
Workaround
: Use the QuickTime Export command instead.
Replacing footage
When you replace a clip by dragging another clip on top of it, if the substituted clip is
of shorter duration, Motion still indicates the duration of the longer clip.
Workaround
: When replacing footage in this manner, the duration can be corrected in
the Timeline. Drag the right edge of the clip’s bar to the left until it is within the clip’s
actual duration, then back out to the right, and you cannot expand it beyond its actual
duration.
Shapes
Resizing a shape with applied Simulation behaviors may cause the animation to appear
jittery.
Workaround
: Do not resize shapes after applying Simulation behaviors.
Text
•
If the Font Type is set to System Fonts in the Format pane of the Text Inspector, and
the Collection is set to anything other than All Fonts, Motion quits unexpectedly
when you choose LiveFonts (from the Font Type pop-up menu).
Workaround
: In the Format tab of the Text Inspector, choose All Fonts from the
Collection pop-up menu before switching to LiveFonts in the FontType pop-up
menu.

If the characters in a text object have a mix of styles, and all characters of a particular
style are selected and edited, and if those characters (selected and edited) are
adjacent to other text styles, the adjacent text styles may replace the selected style.
Workaround
: Instead of selecting and replacing text, edit the text within the style,
then delete extraneous characters when finished editing.
