Previous Release Information About Motion 2.1
The following information was included with Motion 2.1, the universal binary release
of Motion 2.0.1.
General Information
 Motion 2.1 is designed to run natively on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based
Macintosh-based computers. Motion 2.1 functionality is identical to that of
Motion 2.0.1.
 Projects created in Motion 2.1 cannot be opened in previous versions of Motion
(Motion 1.0 through Motion 2.0.1). Therefore, please note that templates created
or modified and then saved in Motion 2.1 cannot be opened in previous versions
of Motion.
Note: Projects created in previous versions of Motion can be opened in Motion 2.1.
 Motion supports two plug-in interfaces: FxPlug and third-party After Effects.
Third-party After Effects filters do not function in Motion on Intel-based Macintosh
systems. FxPlug filters must be universal binary versions to work on Intel-based
Macintosh systems.
Note: Please contact plug-in vendors directly for information on the availability of
universal binary versions.
