weird phenomenon ….

Hi,
….looks like I am the first one here…
So I bought “Motion” the other day, just to notice after a few quick tests, that it looks like there is at least one bug in there.
I created a text-layer and wanted to add a filter like defocus or blur to it. I saw the text jumping down for about 1 pixel and getting a little bit blurry, even though I brought all the values down. This has happened with all filters that I addded so far. This means that I had to add the filters from the beginning to the end in order to avoid the “jumping”. Anybody else? Oh, I am working in PAL-resolution.

Have not seen that.

Apple posted an update a day or so ago to Motion 1.01… install via software update, maybe that will solve?

hi again,
even after updating Motion, the “weird phenomenon” is still there.
To see what I mean, you might try this:
generate any kind of text in a new project, say 100 frames long.
Apply a filter to that text-layer, like defocus. trim back the end of that filter to frame 50, so after that there would be no effect.
Now set the values “Amount” and “Gain” to 1.
Go to frame 50 and compare the result to frame 51. There is a visible (kind of big for me) jump between these frames.
really weird.
