LiveFonts
These settings determine how LiveFonts are cached (stored) by Motion.
Cache intermediate LiveFont sizes: This checkbox turns on or off caching of LiveFont
data. This option is on by default, as it improves performance if you frequently use
LiveFonts.
Cache Path: Click Choose to define a custom location to cache your LiveFont data.
Because this cache can grow quite large, it is advised that you set this to a drive other
than your primary system drive.
Delete LiveFont Cache: Over time, this cache can grow to take up many gigabytes of
disk space. To recover this space, you can delete the cache by clicking this button.
To set a new location for the LiveFont cache:
m Click Choose, set a new location in the dialog, then click Choose.
To clear the LiveFont cache:
1 Click Delete LiveFont Cache.
A dialog appears and asks you to confirm the deletion.
2 Click Delete and the cache is deleted.
Optical Flow Retiming

same location as the source footage, or specify your own location.
In folder with source media: Click this button to save the retiming files in the same
location as the source footage.
In this folder: Click the Choose button to specify where the optical flow retiming files
are stored. By default, the Optical Flow folder is located in the /Users/username/
Documents/Motion Documents/Retiming Cache Files folder.
To set a new location for the optical flow files:
m Click Choose, set a new location in the dialog, then click Choose.
