    Hi, at first when i started using Motion everything would play fine. now i am finding it jumpy when i play anything back but the audio playback is fine. whether it be a simple text in and out or a video for adding text overlays. everything is fine if i export it though. i dont want to export everything every time i want to play it back. is there a setting i need to change?

    delete the preferences of motion and restart it. see if this helps.
    thy are in home folder/library/preferences/ look for something like com.apple.motion.plist

    Also reset you Parameter Ram on your mac.

    looks like it is going ot be difficult to pin point the problem. If I was you I would first fix permissions (at least few times) restart the computer. And if this does not help I would reinstall motion from a original disk. This should solve you problem I hope.

    Michael, here is a link to an article that I think will help. Zak already covered some of it.
