Marquee Pro does not let me add multiple items, it simply duplicates the first item I drop into it. For example, I added an instance of Marquee Pro and set it to items, then set the number of items to 3.

However, when I add a container to one item, it duplicates to all the items. Then when I add a text box to the container it duplicates to all three containers. Then when I paste text into the text box, it duplicates into all three text boxes!

I replicated this on a brand new project with nothing else in it.

Am I missing something?

I’ll answer my own question!

I did not know Marquee Pro required the Elements 2.0 Beta to work correctly. I updated to the beta and it has stopped duplicating item in Marquee.

haha, I was just recording a video as I thought it might have been a different issue, but it sounds like you’re sorted now 🙂
