    Hello,
    I am trying to achieve a very simple animation in Motion and it’s driving me nuts.
    Basically I have text with a texture inside of it.
    All I want to do is have the text zoom from infinity to 100% so that’s it’s centered in the screen.
    So it’s coming from the outside of the stage to the inside.
    But everytime I try to do this with whatever behavior, it’s only scaling the texture and not the word.
    This would be very easy to do in After Effects, but this company I work for now only wants me to use Motion.
    I think it’s just as simple as scaling the text. But can’t do it?! So frustrating
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks so much in advance
    Jaime

    Have you tried just scaling the layer that has the text in it?

    Thanks for repsonding so quickly.
    I actually did try scaling the layer with the text inside of it, but for some reason it’s not working.

    Man, I guess working in After Effects for 6 years, it’s not an easy transition into Motion.
