My personal problems (because EVERYONE cares!)

Okay, I like Motion so far - it's a good, low-priced solution to motion graphics for people who have yet to get into the wonderful world of compositing. However, I have two problems. First, anyone else out there using an Aurora product with Motion? I can't seem to get it to recognize my IgniterX Pro. Maybe this is a "feature" of Motion.

Second... does anyone else HATE the fact that you have two choices for snapping... but no ability to turn it off? I'm getting sick of being forced to place images a certain way. Maybe it's just me.

I'm using Motion with an IgniterX - no problems so far. It does slow down playback, so I don't use it until I need color checks on an NTSC monitor.

[Nightowl] "every time I try to export Aurora MJPEG A I'm forced to use Apple's MJPEG codec. "

I always thought they were the same codec - Aurora simply used the Apple QT MJPEG-A codec (after all, that's the only MJPEG-A codec that exists for QT). but perhaps aurora tweaked it.

Are you transcoding from DV without setup and video with setup? What do the scopes read?

I wonder what the problem is then - Motion doesn't seem to recognize the IgniterX on any setting I use - any ideas what could possibly be blocking this? I did get it to flash up for less than half a second (the welcome screen, of all things), but only when Final Cut Pro was open as well, which is extremely bizarre. Any ideas, anyone?
