Ok…. I was playing around with it 20 min ago, still had the same issue in Motion and FCP. Issue was visible on FCP export to both ref file and h.264 at various points(wanted to make sure it was just a preview rendering issue

I just opened Motion again (have not restarted, FCP has been open the whole time – also not the first time I’ve quit motion and relanched it since I’ve been working on this edit) and it looks perfectly fine!?!?!?!?

Saved, went back to FCP and everything looks good.

Did not change a thing!

So weird… ghosts in the machine again I guess.

Will do. Like I said was just trying to save time, but it didn’t work out.

Thanks, though!

Well, that doesn’t do it. If I remove the blur, the behavior has the effect of a left to right fade reveal, but then when it hits the end of the behavior you still get that pop.

It’s like the behavior makes the text faux bold & slightly darker. From that last frame of the Blur In to the next frame on the text layer it’s a sudden jumpy change in the text.

Oh well, I’ll figure out a different way to do the reveal effect I’m looking for (I have a logo animating across the screen to reveal the text as it’s blurring in)
Was just trying to do something quick and easy that would be easy to adjust within the FCS workflow.

Any answers to this? I’m having the same issue, using FCS3

(Mark I have your Motion 3 book, which was solid… obviously no answers to this issue, but doing that tutorial back in the day was what made me think of using this behavior)

I unfortunately have not found a solution as of yet for my proj…

I can’t find any parameter in the behavior that affects this. Do I just have to do the whole blur in effect manually keyframing it??

I’m putting this on the shelf for a minute b/c I feel like I’m just wasting time – was trying to do this in Motion to take advantage of the FCS workflow. Unfortunately, my simple little lower 3rds turned a little more complex. Had I known where this was going to go I prob would have done them in AE

OP – I learned Motion first, but am After Effects man myself as well now. I just run into too many buggy little problems like this in Motion.
