Would be nice if I could fix it, Helge, but since I don’t work for Apple and I’m not even a software engineer, that’s not likely to happen 🙂

Have you tried placing alias of the templates on the server, pointing to the templates placed in the normal location on one machine?

The ATI card will improve Motion’s performance a lot – the NVIDIA card, hardly at all – the drivers aren’t optimized for it.

You could animate the particles along a path using the Motion Path behavior. I have a tutorial dedicated to working with particle emitters that you might want to check out at ripple training.com – just watching the free excerpt movies may help enough to get you started.

Yes, you load the path as a mask, invert the selection, and delete the background (make sure to make the layer editable first by double-clicking it).

So what was the issue? Your solution may help others if you post what it was.

No, you need to use Photoshop to cut out the background and then save to a format that maintains the transparency (alpha) information, like .psd or .png. I’d recommend .png.
