    Posted by Thomas Frank on February 1, 2012 at 10:32 am

    Hi hi,
    I am having uses SHIFT CLICK DRAGING in the canvas it will only allow me to move the object horizontal not vertical.

    What is causing this?

    Start moving vertically and add the Shift key after you start the move. If you still have problems, trash your preferences.

    1) Quit Motion.
    2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
    3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it (for Motion 3 or 4)
    or, for Motion 5, delete
    com.apple.motionapp.LSSharedFileList.plist
    and
    com.apple.motionapp.plist

    It worked, but I have noticed I have to move the object in the direction first then press SHIFT.

    Thanks
