Extending a master template in Motion 4
I want to make a glass panes template longer and add more drop boxes. Despite changing the time length and adding dropboxes in the Motion application, I always end up with the panes effect only working for 7 dropboxes. Is there a tutorial for extending master templates?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.Chang

Thanks Andy, I have not published anything because I’m not sure where to add the additional drop zones. I imagine they need to be added somewhere in the Layers tab, along with activating the (correct?) corresponding generators? I see a lot more online help for Motion 5, not sure if those help with Mtn 4?

By “publish” do you mean export? I don’t see ‘publish’ option in Motion 4.
I have managed to extend all the layer tab elements into the timeline. The only problem are the image mask panes that are limited to 450 and 900 frames. Copying and pasting these doesn’t seem to work, Probably I don’t know how to put them in the right place on the timeline. Is there an “on top and behind” order in the Motion TL? Appreciate any thoughts.Chang

Thank you for your kind reply Andy. What I’m attempting is unorthodox, coupled with my beginner level proficiency makes for a big time waster.
The Image Masks are limited to 900 frames, must be some timed loop. The Overlay Panes Animations are extendable, as are other elements in the Layers Pane.
I suppose the trick is paste the masks into the right place in the TL. (along with the correct behaviours). Also, finding the correct place to import FC sequences.Chang
