Thank you again for the reply Mark.

I’ve already picked up one of the transparent frames of the PNG sequence and dropped it into Photoshop. I added a black background and the result is the same. That white glow is gone. Shouldn’t this be enough?
I’ve already left work so I don’t have the project with me. Can I send it to you in the morning so that you could see if you can make this happen?
If you have any other tip I’ll try it before sending the Motion project to you.

Thank you for the help so far.

Thank you very much for the reply Mark.

At the moment I’m just creating ALL the effect in Motion 5. Then I’m just using the Share -> Export Movie to see the result and that’s what I get. I’m using Apple Pro Res 4444 with a tick in “Premultiply Alpha”. I’ve already tried to uncheck it and the result is even worse.

I’ve also thought that it could be a composition problem. However, when I add the black background to the scene, the problem gets resolved. That led me to think that the result Motion was showing me was not real. I’m beginning to think that what I see when I export transparent is the real result and when I see it inside Motion with a black background, he’s making some kind of multiply and showing me those white stripes way more intense.

Don’t know what to do next…

Is there any possible way to get this?

Thank you.

I’ve tried what you said and it didn’t work. I’m talking about a emitter that has a star shape and a blur associated to it. In motion 4 we can see the stars with the blur but also they are clear. In motion 5, the blur simply is too aggressive and causes a “cloud” around the star.
I’ve already compared every value and everything is the same…

Hi Mark. Thank you for the help again. I’ve just posted this on Apple Community and maybe it can help you to understand my problem:

Hi.

I'm using Motion 4 and I'm trying to achieve a camera zoom-out with some conditions. Here's a image to explain the size and the type of zoom I'm looking for. My background images have 3072x1536 pixels and my canvas in Motion is defined to be 1024x768 pixels.
As you can see by the picture, I want to scale my camera view but I only want to do it through the upper right diagonal so that my bottom left point stays at the same place.
I've already tried to change the camera between framing and viewpoint but If I got my layers appart in 3D space they all start to phase out because of the perspective. Considering a flat image on the background, how can I scale/zoom-out my camera to do the effect on the image?

Thank you.

Thank’s alot!

I’ve already tried that script but it asks me to select shapes when I select my mesh. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it work.
Do I need to start the toon over again? There is not a chance I can control the main points of the shape to deform it a bit and animate them in motion?

Thank you Mark.
