Still an interesting idea but has faults

I started using Motion with the very first version and it hasn’t changed all that much. It is not a replacement for Affter Effects but it is a simple way and intuitive way to get quick motion design done. Quickness is also a problem in many cases sadly, it hangs up often when using emitters in particular and when using more than a few layers. I have a mac pro with 16 gigs of ram which handles 3D animation software and other processor and graphic card programs very well so this is a Motion issue with some systems. Its strong points like making text animations and it’s great price certianly give it a place in any video work flow.
