  • bug in Motion 4 text scroll?

    A couple of the characters in my scrolling text in Motion turn into “=” sign for a few seconds when it scrolls, is that a bug, is there a quick fix for that? Thank you.

    1) What is the font? It could be corrupted, try changing the font.

    2) Try trashing your prefs

    1) Quit Motion.
    2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
    3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it (for Motion 3 or 4)

    Tried changing fonts, same.
    Tried trashing preference, same.

    I recreated the same file at another Mac, it worked fine, but when I bring the new motion file back to the old mac, it still behave the same!!!
