Motion Known Issues
This section contains information about known issues in Motion.
Audio
When 24-bit Integer Stereo sound compression is used to export audio, the rendered
audio file plays faster than the original audio file.
File formats
OpenEXR files are supported only on Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
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.
 When using the Defocus filter with some NVIDIA cards, performance is degraded
significantly.
NFS volume
If you browse to an NFS network volume in the File Browser, select an object, Control-
click and choose Move to Trash, the item is deleted immediately, bypassing the Trash,
and without displaying the Finder’s “The item will be deleted immediately” dialog.
QuickTime
When importing an interlaced QuickTime movie to Motion, the fields may be lost if the
Movie and Video tracks specify different sizes (for example, the Movie track is 486 and
the Video track is 480). This is because QuickTime automatically resizes the file, and the
fields become corrupted. Such movies can be created, for example, if you export
SD video to DV without first resizing the project to 480.
Templates (French Version Only)
Audio is not previewed with a saved template.
Text
Due to text improvements in Motion 2, projects created in Motion 1.0 that contain text
objects with certain applied text behaviors may appear differently in Motion 2.0 and
Motion 2.0.1.
