Thank you a lot for the break down. Still my favorite plug in since Motion 2, your update is amazing !!!!

Great video. Pacing, vibes, information density all spot on 👍

Appreciate this comprehensive explanation of the plug in capabilities Deserve to be followed bro 👍

Wow ! I also see it's much more efficient and smoother to operate compared to the last version! Well done!

I had no idea this was out, there's been no mention in the community or on twitter! Thanks for posting, I lost my original purchase so will have to buy again, I've been using this since v2!

This is bookmarked for me for so many projects where I need a quick reminder of what Motion can do. I use some parts daily but there is So. Much. Stuff. Here that I.dont use regularly that I know I will be able to use over the course of a year, and the time this plug in saves is insane. Thanks for your work putting this together my man - subscribed!

Hi there, are there shortcuts like crop comp to objects, cut timeline to layers, mostly like mobar2 functions? Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the breakdown! I loved Motion 2, and finde necessary Motion 3 for my workflow... but I feel it's a bit too much now. I'd like to know how many of those option you've used constantly.

Indeed. I find myself confused about some of the UI coming from motion 3, and have trouble for example detecting what kind of easy ease data already exists on keyframes. I find myself overwriting the keyframe data, rather than being able to come back to a keyframe and make subtle tweaks, which is pretty disruptive for me. Update: NVM, I figured it out. You have to click on the signal icon in the Ease Graph window when some keyframes are highlighted -- then it will show the current easing data.

when i use the pin plus tool the pin's nulls gets placed way off from the puppetpins placement. anyone know how to fix this?

i cant seem to figure out how to copy keyframes ( trimpath keyframes) to 7 other layers with the clone tool. i know you need to select the keyframes you want to copy but how do i say where to copy them to.... ( same place in time line just to the other layers)

If I use Burst or Excite in a project, will the effect still be there on a computer that doesn't have Motion4 installed? Thanks!

Why they not added an offset Layers/Keyframes ?(( Like in Motion Tools 2

Hi! Didn't get how delay features work ^( Don't know why but layers moving from their started postions (if im try to using at this properties). But in general im want to make delay at trim paths animations - not working for me.

You could try using 'jump', keyframe the y position so it jumps up a little and bounces back down. Experiment with the max bounces etc. Then loopOut the keyframes so it repeats

The last input is basically asking which folders the ‘remove unused’ or ‘remove old folders’ functions should avoid: it’s another text field and it works as expected when typed in the name of one folder; but what if I want more than one folder to be ignored in the whole sorting process? I tried typing in two existing folder names and separating them with whatever code syntax I could think of, but the function breaks completely that way and the sort doesnt avoid either of them.
