    Have you looked at it at 100% magnification in FCP with the playhead paused?

    Are you correctly interpreting the alpha channel (Premultiplied with black)?

    Suggest you do it in FCP by making it a 500 frame sequence the sending it to Motion.

    Not available inside Motion yet. You might look into a thrd party keyboard remapping app.

    It’s well accepted in many circles.

    Motion graphics designers will try to get all the tools that will allow them to do the work quickly and efficiently. For allowing the client to provide input during the design phase, there’s nothing like Motion.

    I don’t have Richard’s book in front of me, but the way to select the colors is to click on the foreground color box, select white, click on the background color box and click the blue you want.

    Select the pixels that make up the sky. When the sky is selected (look for the marching ants around it) create a new layer and apply the filter in the selected pixels in the new layer.

    Are you sure that the Motion project and the AE composition have the same frame size (dimensions) and pixel aspect ratio?

    You don’t mention how you have to resize the Motion project. Make it larger? Smaller? Stretch it horizontally? Vertically?

    What “objects” are missing?

    Mac or Windows?

    Standard or Professional?

    Which version of Illustrator are you using?

    Are you importing as a Comp or footage?

    November 3, 2006 at 3:44 pm in reply to: keyboard shortcut for keyframing?

    On Mac use the OPTION key with the property shortcut key.
    On Win use the ALT key with the property shortcut key.

    A Anchor Point
    P Position
    R Rotation
    S Scale
    T Opacity

    are the most common. Check AE help for more.

    If you moved all the tutorial media to a different location I would suggest putting an alias pointing to the new location in the old location so that Motion can reference them correctly.

    Have you tried deleting your preference file?

    Have you checked to see if any fonts are corrupted?
