  • Black type reduced in size appearing as grey

    Posted by Al Davis on March 6, 2016 at 11:08 pm

    I am using Motion 5.2.3
    Type of a larger point size is appearing as nice rich black; while smaller type sizes (25pt) are just greying out. As a workaround I have duplicated the type directly over and applied “multiply”. This has at least given me enough punch to carry the work.
    I realize that optically images can appear lighter when they are reduced in size; but even comparing the work to a template that was built in Keynote – something is way off.

    Never mind!
    I copied and pasted the type from Keynote to avoid building new text.
    Further testing proved that is why it was greyed out.

    So you copied the formatting with the text and it was the formatting that was causing the problem? (just checking to be sure)
