    I’m creating a simple text over a background, but once I exported it I noticed that it jittered. If I go frame by frame the image moves around. Is there a solution to this?

    The background is a partical emitter. It’s not a static image. I should have specified that.

    You have interlaced material and thin lines…

    Make the object bigger….
    OR Apply a slight vertical blur

    Hey Randy,

    This particle background…does it have a filter applied to it?

    Yes several Directional blur, contrast and crystal thing… It doesn’t jitter constently just sparatically. Like a spastic object in bursts.

    Hey Randy,

    It sounds like you’re running into a size problem. The particle object constantly changes size, so if you apply filters that have a centerpoint, like Zoom Blur, etc, the centerpoint jumps around, causing the image to jump around. Motion 2 allows you to hard-set layer sizes, so you can set the layer with the particles in it to a specific size and the filters won’t cause jumping. In Motion 1, you can just put a transparent color solid generator in the background (that is larger than the largest size the particles get) and apply the filters to the parent layer. The generator acts as a “spreader” and makes sure that the layer’s size stays constant, and your filters stay stable.

    Hope this helps.
