Link Behavior Bug in Motion 5

I've repeatedly defined a bevavior to two link colors together (a gradient colorize from one group links to the gradient colorize of another group.) I'll set it, it works just fine. When I close the project and open it up again, the "Apply To" is always reset and blank, but the Source Parameter will be intact.
Is there a known bug for this?
This in in Motion 5, which isn't available as a product option when submitting this discussion.

The behavior is being applied to the RGB colors of a Gradient Colorize filter, not the gradient itself. Correct, the gradient is made of multiple values (RGB colors, locations, opacity) so applying a behavior to the entire gradient doesn't even make sense, and rightly so is impossible to do.
So if you apply the Gradient Colorize filter to anything, select the first (or second) color in the gradient, then to the right of the color control (and dropper icon) you'll see the ability to apply a behavior. This color can be linked to any other RGB value in any other layer or group via a Link behavior.
However, in my case, when I do it.. it never saves.
I've run tests from scratch where it WILL save. There's something unique to this project that Motion doesn't like.. and for the life of me, I can't figure it out, other than to just call it a bug.
Here's the test file that I set up that does work:
http://www.mediafire.com/?qpxhdmjdlljns85
There's a source group and two linked groups that follow the source group. Changing the colors of the source group changes the colors of the other two groups. This one, for some reason, saves.
So, what the heck does that do for me? Nothing.. in fact it's worse. There's some sort of conflict going on that I need to find that keeps mine from saving properly.

  • "Caching" behavior in the motion timeline

    I noticed some odd caching behavior in the motion timeline. Despite clearing animation it remained and I had to restart Ps to purge it from my project. Just me? Or is anyone else seeing this?

    Hi, Steve.
    I was removing it only from the timeline object I'd orginally put it on. Your answer seems like it could have solved the issue without the restart. For next time...
    thanks!

  • Why are link behaviors working in my render but not my export?

    When I export my video, the link behaviors don't behave like they do when I preview the video in the player window. It's like the export feature doesn't even know they're there. What's going on?

    Hi Ben, thanks for helping.
    I set all of the Render settings as you said, both on the Preview Canvas as well on the Export settings.
    My export is still different than my preview. Here are the problems (all link behaviors):
    "Link Slit Scan"
    Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
    Apply To: Filters.Slit Scan.Glow
    Notes: In the preview, the slit scan is glowing bright white. In the export, it's completely dark.
    "Link Halftone"
    Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
    Apply To: Filters.Halftone.Mix
    Notes: In the preview, the halftone triggers along with the refraction. In the export, the halftone doesn't exist.
    Extra Note: This is the same behavior that keeps changing the target to "Filters.Bad TV.Mix" when I close and reopen the project.
    "Link Bad TV"
    Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
    Apply To: Filters.Bad TV.Waviness
    Notes: In the preview, the waviness triggers smoothly along with the refraction (when the Bad TV mix is up). In the export, the waviness is jittering out of control.
    By the way, Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction is controlled by an audio behavior, but the Refraction itself is working just fine.
    I'll check out Ripple Training too. Thanks!

  • Help with linking a layer to motion tracked video

    Not sure of the best way to describe this. I have a video with shadow in it which only moves slightly when camera pans a little.
    Ive created a static image and removed the shadow in photoshop although could have probably done that using the clone stamp in AE.
    However, the problem I have is that when the photoshop image is imported and I create the mask around the image where my shadow is on the video, the image is not tracked or linked to the video... How do I link it to the motion tracked video so that it moves with the video ?

    Hiya
    Yeah one below.. What you will see is the photoshop file, then the null layer followed by the original footage. In effect I need the photoshop image to track the movement of the camera as when I currently play the video, when the camera moves it looks as though a chunk of grass (the mask) is moving different from the rest of the scene.

  • Lag the link behavior....

    Let's say you have a square and its oscillating back and forth on the X axis. Then you create a circle and you use the link behavior to link the X parameter of the circle to the x parameter of the square, so now you have both shapes oscillating together back and forth on the x axis. Can anyone figure out a way that I could make that circle lag behind the square. So, the circle would be moving the same speed and distance during its oscillation, but it would just be a little behind the movement of the square.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Ok. Thanks for the mental exercise. It took me about 30 minutes to figure it out.
    The key is not to link the two rotations together, but to link behaviors. Here's how to do it.
    Apply the oscillate behavior to the X rotation of the rectangle. Set up as you like.
    Duplicate the behavior and apply it to the Circle.
    Add the Link behavior to the circle. Set the source object as the rectangle. Change the source parameter to the rectangle behavior's amplitude. Change the target parameter to the circle behavior's amplitude.
    Adjust the phase on the circle's oscillate behavior. This will change the timing of the oscillation but the link will ensure that any changes to the amplitude of the rectangle will be reflected in the circle.
    Animate the Custom Mix with keyframes from 0 to 1. This will allow you to control a "start up" if you will of the circle not moving, but rather reacting to the rectangle.
    You can also link the speed of the rectangle's oscillation if you like as well, but that requires another link behavior. It all depends on how much control you need.

  • Invert Link Behavior

    It doesn't seem you can write in the parameters fields even though they are shown. Dose anyone know how to invert a link behavior?
    (ex. one layer blinks on and off, linked layer blinks off and on)
    TOnyTOny

    Thank You,
    I also needed to set the Apply Mode to Add to Source, then this worked. It's one of those things where Apple has abstracted the function so much that it isn't discernable. I slided the slider to minus one but that was as far as it would drag. I assumed that is were I would have made the invertion but not being able to get there I didn't follow up on it. I knew that you can go outside the silder range but usally they go equally positive and negative.
    I would like to see the whole expression (and be able to edit it).

  • Copy not allowed..only link.  Bug?

    I am following the Java Studio Creator Field Guide book, and in it, you are told to select the Copy radio button (as opposed to Link) when setting a URL for an image. Well, on my setup, copy is greyed out (disabled).
    Is this a bug, or is there something that needs to be done to enable it?

    Hi,
    If you select tab URL, you are prevented from selecting radio button Copy.
    Selecting radio button Link works fine.
    (The behavior changed since the book was published).
    You can also copy an image file into your project's Resources directory by selecting tab File.
    This discrepancy is documented in

  • Default link behavior is rather annoying

    Safari seems to be the only browser that doesn't open links in a new tab and doesn't provide an option to set the behavior. I've been told its an option on the mac version but the only option is to control when you click links on the windows version. Why the **** is there no option to send links to a new tab? It gets rather annoying when using something like google reader in which you open a lot of links.

  • Linked contacts bug : SMS or e-mail sent to incorrect address or phone number.

    Hello,
    I sync contact on my iPhone 5S ios 7.0.4 with four sources :
    - icloud
    - Outlook.com (Hotmail) - my private mail
    - Exchage - my work mail
    - Facebook
    When a conctact in present on Hotmail and on Exchange, the contact appears once on the iPhone and it's correcty linked but when I want to send a SMS or an e-mail, the message is not sent to the correct number.
    For example a contact (John Smith) is present on Hotmail and on Exchange with the following information
    Exchange :
    Name : John Smith
    Work phone : 1234
    Work mail : [email protected]
    Hotmail :
    Name : John Smith
    Mobile : 7890
    Work phone 1234
    Private mail : [email protected]
    Work mail : [email protected]
    The linked contact on the iPhone looks like :
    Name : John Smith
    Mobile : 7890
    Work phone 1234
    Private mail : [email protected]
    Work mail : [email protected]
    If I want to send a SMS to the Mobile of the contact following this procedure, the SMS is sent to the work phone
    1) Open Mesage app
    2) Click on new message
    3) Click [+] to open contact list
    4) Choose "John Smith"
    5) Choose Mobile phone
    6) Type the message
    7) Click "Send"
    The SMS is sent to Work phone
    If I use anothe procedure, the SMS is sent correctly to the mobile :
    1) Open Mesage app
    2) Click on new message
    3) Type "John Smith" into the "To" zone
    4) Choose "John Smith Mobile"
    5) Type the message
    6) Click "Send"
    Same problem with e-mail address in the mail application.
    If a contact is only present in one source (not linked) there is no problem.
    I think it' a bug in linking contacts.
    Thanks

    I don't think so. When i open the Exchange contact on the iPhone (Contact --> Linked --> Exchange) the work number is not tagged as mobile end there is no message icon next to the phone number.

  • What is the behavior hierarchy in Motion?

    I'm plowing my way through motion - trying to do some simple moves on photos (zoom in, zoom out, reposition). As far as I can tell, there are 2 ways to do this. 1) Make key frames on the clip itself for scale and position; or 2) Apply a custom behavior and create key frames for scale and position.
    There appears to be a difference but I'm not sure what it is. And - what happens if you create key frames on both the clip and on the applied behavior (for scale and position). Which one gets applied?

    Cheers, Michael

    Hello Brent,
    unluckily I think you misunderstood Michael original point.
    Because some time passed, I too would like to report same issue again but let me explain and guide you (or others) how I too reached same sentence.
    As of now even from your own 'Forums preferences' profile page you should be able to find on right side a
    'Help' URL that leading to an intermediate page stating :
    "The Frequently Asked Questions has Moved
    The Forums help file has been moved to the
    Community Wiki. Please update any bookmarks you may have."
    Now a part from correcting that 'Help' URL once you or anyone reach 'Forums
    Help (FAQ) - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki' you can find 'How
    do I report issues with the Forums?' question, and then there's this other sentence :
    "How do I report issues with the Forums?
    You can report bugs, suggestions, and other issues for Forums, by performing one of the following actions:
    Bug: If the issue seems like a bug in the forums code, go to the Bug Reporting Forum and report the bug
    by using the template provided in the top forum thread.
    But once anyone reach that Forum, now called 'Forums Issues (not product support)' there's no real forum bug reporting template in the top forum threads (as of now I only found 'Verify Your Account 15' and 'How to report
    spam') and also to find this post thread I really had to search for "report a bug".

  • Link behavior inside a pdf

    I created a document using Word and "published" it as a pdf for our website.   During document creation, I specified that certain links would open up in a new window/tab.  However, this behavior did not follow the links into the pdf.
    The links all open in the same window, and this necessitates the use of the "back" button to go back to the original document.
    I would like to specify that certain links - not all - open in a new window or tab.  I have acrobat pro.  How do I do it?

    You simply don't have that level of control of the browser from a PDF. I think the best you can do is use the app.launchURL JavaScript method instead: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.150.html
    but it has problems working with protected mode with Reader and relies on JavaScript being enabled.

  • Open link behavior will not set

    After a PC crash, upon reopening my FF I discovered that EVERYTHING was reset to default values. Now, the only thing that will not return to what I had is the link opening behavior. Despite "options" and "tab mix plus" values set to "current tab", it still opens every link (even login buttons) in another tab. Nothing I do has mitigated this in the least.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == PC crashed
