This is done with “light leaks”, an effect you see everywhere these days – there are loads of them around at various price points, for example:

Have a google and you’ll find a lot more.

I’ll second that. Apple’s HTML Help is an abomination. I wonder if they’ve learned their lesson.

Hi Michael

If I’ve understood you correctly, I think what you need to do is duplicate your paint stroke and then set the “shape outline” on the duplicated version to “erase” – you can then use the “stroke offset” to create a gap in your stroke.

Or did you have something else in mind?

Nice solution! I’ll be stealing that, thanks!

It’s good to see that borderline geeky obsessiveness can pay off 😉

If you haven’t tried setting the float depth to 32 bit, that might be the answer.

Nice design BTW!

Hmmm, yeah – I reckon there’s an anomaly there. The background color you set in the Motion preferences is only visible if you set the Project prefs to show Solid rather than Transparent BG color (and you can’t set that as a default obviously) and then it’s going to affect your alpha channel as well. Whereas, as you say, when you set it in the Project prefs it shows up either way.

Good luck with your quest!

I have to say I’m intrigued to know why you want to set your background color to anything except black …? I’m sure you’ve got a good reason!

Hi Tad

You want to be setting the color via: Motion/Preferences/Project/Default Settings/Background Color for it to “stick”. Is that what you’ve tried? Works for me … Maybe you’re doing it via the Project Preferences (Cmd J) which won’t make a default.

I could be wrong but I’m not sure there’s a way to fix the zoom size for the canvas, if that’s what you mean.

If you change the Match Move’s “Adjust” option to “Scale” or “Rotation” (in the Behaviors tab) you’ll get a second tracker.

Or better still, if you change the “Type” from “Transformation” to Four Corners you’ll get four trackers that will enable you to corner pin if that’s what you need.

Hope that helps.
