Hey Matt,
What size (full-size, not scaled) were the images inside those layers? Each step in the compositing pipeline has to be handled by the GPU, so if an image

Hey Matt,
Jitter like that can be caused by exceeding the maximum image size for your graphics card. For a better explanation and some suggestions that might help you implement a fix, check out https://www.motionsmarts.com/tutorials/nutsandbolts/sizematters.html
Good luck!

Heya,
When exporting a Quicktime, are you using a codec that supports alpha? DV, for example, does not. You will need to use a codec like Animation.

Heya,
Not sure why you’re seeing what you are, but did you try selecting the original text layer and press Cmd+D to duplicate it, instead of copy/paste?

Heya,
You’ll want to use an Image Mask, which is more powerful and flexible than a blend mode. You apply an Image Mask to an object and then tell the mask to refer to any other object as the source for the mask. By default, it will use the alpha channel (matte) of the reference image, though you can use any color channel as well.
To get to it, select the object you want to mask and then go to Object->Add Image Mask or press Cmd+Shft+M. Then you just drag-and-drop the reference object into the Image Mask object in the Layers List or the Inspector. If you select the Image Mask and view the Mask tab in the Inspector, you will have some controls over how the mask is applied, like inverting, scaling or offsetting it. The Image Mask will also blend with any hand-drawn shape masks.
Good luck with your project!

Well kiss my grits. They did post the downloads for the UB version. It’s cleverly located here: https://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/

Heya,
If you have Motion 2.0 or 2.0.1, you can download them from here: https://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/motion/download/
Apple hasn’t yet posted Universal Binary versions for Motion 2.1.

Heya,
If you have Final Cut Studio/Suite, you can export from Motion via Compressor, which is designed to give you control over size and format. You can find it unde the File menu in Motion.

Heya,
Images or objects (like text, particles, etc.) will be limited to the largest texture your graphics card can draw. On a system with an ATI card, it’s a 2048×2048 limit, and 4096×4096 on a system with an Nvidia card.
Since you saw a quality improvement when dropping below 4K, I would surmise that you have an Nvidia card.

Hey Justin,
At 12000 pixels tall, your image file is too big for your GPU to handle. ATI graphics cards are limited to 2K textures, while Nvidia ones can go to 4K. A better explanation can be found here: https://www.motionsmarts.com/tutorials/nutsandbolts/sizematters.html
You can work around this by splitting the credit roll image up into a few tiles and then sequencing them.
Good luck with your project!
