Wondering if anyone has come across a potential bug in Motion 5.0.5 where the move to Selection In Point/ Move to Selection Out Point command moves the playhead somewhere other than the in point and out point of the selected object? I've broken down a large chunk of dialogue into individual sentences. Each sentence is in its own group that is trimmed to start and stop at a specific time in the animation. Each of the sentence groups are collected into a group that holds only the text layers. This group I've titled "animated text"

When I try using the Selection In Point/ Selection Out Point Commands, I'm transported to the start and end of the "Animated Text" group and not the individual sentence group I have selected. Essentially any object held within the "animated text" group seems to have its in and out points mapped as the in and out point of the "animated text" group and not itself.

Anyone have an idea of what's going on? Am I experiencing a bug or am I missing something workflow-wise? Thanks in advance for your time and your talents.

I've seen this bug in the past, but the last couple of Motion versions it seems to have not happened for me. I'll assume you're running the latest version. Quit and relaunch the project, see if that helps. Or maybe try using Preference Manager to trash Motion's preference files, see if that helps.

But yes, it is a known bug, but one I've personally not seen in awhile. I think a re-launch always fixed it for me, mostly.

Hmm...no joy after quitting, trashing prefs, and a re-boot. I'm going to try permission repair and, if that doesn't work, a re-install of Motion might be up next. Thanks for the help though Ben.
