I can no longer attach a media file to a graphic behaviour in Motion, I use templates and used to import the audio then attach it as a behaviour, I have done all of the suggested things to fix such as updates etc and reset parameters, and am now reinstalling as a last attempt. Has something changed? It does the same no matter what project I try to do it one... Thanks all!

Actually I had to import it into the Audio folder, not the media folder... maybe that was my error?

Wait! I reset the parameter, then imported the file again.... WORKS! Thank you for making me try and try again!
Dragging didn't work for me, strangely suddenly I couldn't import into the media folder, I had to be on the audio folder before importing, then it seemed to work ok...
I should have tried before writing. I cannot drag, either.
However, one thing that seems to work is:
1) click the other down arrow at the right, and choose Reset Parameter
2) click the first down arrow and now it seems that all the audio choices are available
I merely dragged the audio files over. AFAICT Motion detects they audio files and they appear in the Audio pane automatically.
So you want to replace "Master" with "The Jazz ... " as the source for the audio behavior?
Drag the desired audio file over the "well":
It is not clear what you are trying to do.
"Attach a media file to a graphic behavior"? Can you clarify?
Maybe there is a terminology issue. If you could post some screenshots illustrating the situation it might be clearer.
It is the down arrow next to the speaker icon, I used to get a dropdown list of options that have been imported into the media folder (see second screen shot - jazz show promo 8 has been imported but doesn't show up as an option), now clicking on it does nothing... Thanks so much for your help, I'm about to give up on it entirely...
Thank you for trying, I tried that and the only option I get once I've done it is Master, not any files I have imported... Strange it works for you? I have reset everything and even reinstalled Motion..
If I pin the behaviour tab so that I can go to the media folder and try to drag it, it doesn't 'land' it just flies back to the media tab... has the drop zone somehow been disabled?
Yes, it works for me. I added two audio files, and an image; added Audio parameter behavior to the image and can choose either of the audio files.
Glad that it worked!
