Bug or user error?

Hi all

Very much a novice user of Motion. I've been having an issue that I do not understand. Your help would be very much appreciated.

I'm using a replicator to create depth on a 2d image. I then want to place the components of the replicator (the image, replicator and the particle) into a group so that I can animate the whole group such as spinning and moving along the z axis.

In the 20 second video you can view by following the link. You'll see that when I select the 3 components and drag into the group....after some delay the image contorts into a strange altered scale, position and rotation combination. I had Eno idea why.

I get taking to a list of videos and have no clue what I should look at.

Anyway, normally when that happens, the settings of the Group layer are effecting your sub-layers.

Hi there.

Thanks for taking the time to offer your support. I’m sorry you experienced some issues with the video.

I ended up scrapping this project, but I suspect you are correct. I’ve taken it as a sign is should probably name and organise my layers logically in future.
