Hey Simon,

Of course, you’re right. I was thinking too complicated. By the way, the text layer has not to be centered, if you create four clones of it and use only the position parameter to create one plane (instead of scale).
Works finde. Thank you.

Thanks Simon,
Unfortunately I didn’t had time to work on that project for some weeks. I tried to follow your description in Motion4. But I didn’t got it working. To which layer do I have to apply the “link” behaviour. And to which parameters should it apply.

What I did:

I applied the link behaviour to my secondary text layer. Then I drag-dropped the clone layer of my primary text into the source box, applied the behaviour to the x-position of my secondary text and chose the simple border width as source-parameter. Next I saved the project as a template and tested it in FCP. Didn’t work.

Thanks Eward. Sounds easy, I’ll try that.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I only have Motion 4. When I try to open the fil I get an error. Could you try to save it as a Motion 4 project? Or is it only possible within Motion 5?

Hey guys,

thanks for your help. anti-aliasing sucks in this case.
I re-made my shapes in Photoshop, imported it to Motion. Now it works as I wanted and looks really good – which means I’m not far away from finishing my first reak Motion project.

There is one more problem I’m dealing with – I’m trying to add a mask to a complete folder (which contains several layers) – but it doesn’t work…. is there a work-around or is it impossible to do? THX

Hey Noah,

Have you seen the test movie-file? The link is in my first post.
Here are some stills – I marked the “bad” looking parts of it.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I know that it’s not 3D, but this doesn’t explain why my animation looks bad. I’ve seen a lot of “3D” objects created with Motion, also some tutorials dealing with creating those kinda things, and the results looked just fine.
