Motion Text objects to add at cam point

i created a path to animate a line. I have a camera hand-keyed to follow the line as it draws in 3d space. The line has corners and the cam should slow down at each corner.

At that corner i need to ad text. the thing is when i try to it either doesnt show in the layers or it modifies another text object.

How do i create an object in the middle of a cam animation so that it shows in front of the camera at the point i am at?

So i can animate to a certain point and the add some things. Then animate some more to a different point then add something else.

Please post "Motion" questions in the "Motion" forum

Thanks.

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

It sounds like you've got another group or layer selected so Motion is adding the new text layer at the same location. Before you add the new text object, press Shift-Command-A to deselect all.
