found the answer!
off-topic but anyway: after an hour of trial and error.. i found that the cpu-goes-up-for-no-reason is caused by the tiny thumbnails that appear in the timeline when a behavior is applied. minimizing the tracks or selecting ‘name’ in timeline display options makes it go away! (not just the thumbnail, but also the excessive cpu usage)
hurray, that was very annoying!

thanks!

guess i have to learn some new workarounds. eg when applying the bulge the letters get cut-off, they don’t bulge outside their own layer boundaries.

sadly motion 4 on my macbook starts running extremely slow after a few minutes of use. CPU goes up to over 80%, even when i’m not doing anything. i know my macbook has intel video chip so its not supposed to work at all, but i mainly use motion for simple title graphics, and it works fine for that until it starts ‘cooking’ for no reason at all..
