  • Yikes! none of my image wells are working anymore…

    Posted by Jiggy Gaton on April 22, 2010 at 11:48 am

    Hi, Ive seen this problem pop up in the internet, but with no solutions…my image wells are not working in Motion 4.0.2. Huh? They all appear dead, for example if I add an Image Mask to the timeline and try and drag an image from either finder or File Browser within Motion, it’s a no go. It won’t “stick.” Anyone know what could be wrong? Thx!!!

    You can’t add an image to and image well for a mask from the File Browser – it has to already be in your project. First add it to the Layers tab, then drag from the Layers tab into the well.

    Duh! thx, I think you have said this before:) Would be more intuitive if you could add stuff from the Motion internal file browser (which should add to project automagically) but I am sure there is a good reason for this “feature.” thx!!!
