Problem is, you’ll still only see the color rectangle that is closer in z-space even when the arrow flips around. Using a particle emitter or replicator would solve the issue.

In the Stroke section of the Shape Inspector, set the Stroke Color Mode to Use Brush Color.

If you are using Motion 4 it’s a breezing using one of the Text generators.

Paint strokes that use an image as their source don’t have to be colored by the paint stroke – they can use “original” to take the source image as the color. So your idea of two rectangles of different colors as a source *may* work – put them in a group and use the group as a source.

Quite a creative solution, Don! I’m sure Andy will agree…

You can’t do it, Don. Paint strokes (of which the arrow is one) only exist on 2D planes – you can’t have them “twist” off of that plane. You could, however, do it with a replicator or emitter though it’s a bit tougher to set up.

You need to change the text layout to a paragraph with the size you want in Motion.

Number your images sequentially with at least 3 digits, e.g. picture001.jpg, picture002.jpg – then in Motion, make sure you have the “show image sequences as collapsed” button enabled at the bottom of the File Browser.

Assuming the duration of your clip is longer than the duration of the drop zone, select the drop zone, and in the mini-Timeline, option-drag on it to slip.
