    My template looks horrible so I tried a few different settings now I can’t get to menus. My project is full screen or a black screen and I can’t get out of it … project due in 4 hours!!!!

    OK, I sorted out the match move by re installing Motion 4, now Motion is terribly slow, mostly a beach ball watching experience with 3 video clips that scroll with some rectangle elements that follow. It took over an hour to make a HDV QTmovie from 10 sec timeline. Is my old MacBookPro2,2 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz 3G Ram too slow for Motion 4 work?

    If you hit F8 your canvas goes full screen. To get out of it just hit F8 again.

    I use a first-gen MacBook Pro 2.16 (so Core Duo rather than Core 2 Duo) with 2Gb RAM for Motion 4, and it doesn’t feel significantly slower than Motion 3. What really slows it down is motion blur.

    Thanks Stephen, I tried the apple support advice, including a complete re-install, but Motion is still sluggish and beachbally when there are moves that involve more than one video clip – I hope I can hobble by and hopefully make the current project eye popping enough to attract the next job, then it will be an iMac 7 for me… Thanks
