Import templates from Motion 4 into 5

Has anyone been able to import the templates from Motion 4, particularly the Broadcast Video ones?

I've come to a couple of decisions:
I am not buying FCP X until they fix the many issues...that is another story but very related to this one...Apple is actually refunding customers their money for FCP X...so you know that is bad for FCP X
I am using Motion 5 only if iI have to in certain project when need to.,.
The speed has not change in Motion 5, but I think you have to have the new Lion install to see the difference with that... will see...
The is no more Live Fonts in Motion 5
Motion 5 does not get along with FCP orFCP X (you can't send project to Motion anymore)
You can only have one project open at the time with Motion 5
The templates are there and you can get to them but is such hassle just to open them up with motion 5...
I have drag Motion 4 back to my apps bar and will continue working with it along with FCP7...
so disappointed...

Importing Template from Motion

I am new to Motion and having trouble exporting a template I made in Motion to DVD Pro. I used the built in travel template in Motion, added my text and video. Motion allowed me to save it as a template but DVD Pro does not see it (not highlighted) when I try to import it. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

Not sure what you are asking, especially RE: "DVD Pro
does not see it (not highlighted)"
You shouldn't have a problem importing anything you
create in Motion into DVDSP. But things like buttons
won't be highlighted (Highlit? What is the proper
grammar) until you create a button over the text
(say, for example, you add the word 'play all' or
'chapter' to a template you create in Motion...you
bring it into DVDSP..drag it into a menu as a
background...nothing will happen to the words until
you create a button that encompasses the words in
question)
In DVD Pro if you try importing a template the folder that holds the templates will be highlighted, ie you can click on it. But its contents (the actual templates) will not be highlighted, ie you cannot click on it.

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

FCP not reading templates correctly from Motion (Urgent)

Hi all,
I am trying to work in FCP (6.06) with templates created in Motion 3.0.2 But FCP seems to be seeing video drop zones as text layers!?
If I use a pre-existing template (or one I have created), when I bring it in to FCP I get the correct amount of input dialogue boxes for the amount of layers in the template, but regardless of whether they are drop zones or text layers the control dialogue box in FCP looks the same and I am unable to actually get anything to appear correctly on the timeline. It's driving me nuts!!
Also: when I have a template on my FCP timeline I am unable to save the project! I delete the template from the timeline and am able to save the project again...
Even weirder: I'm getting the same result on two machines!!
Any Ideas what could be causing this!? (i've tried software update and re-start)

Thank you to those who replied. By further process of elimination I have discovered that Motion does not recognize the ProRes 4444 Alpha Channel. When using a clip with the Animation Codec, it reads the alpha channel perfectly. The ProRes 4444 Clips I exported from Motion with Alpha work perfectly in After Effects ... so clearly Apple has a bug to fix

Copying/Moving new Motion 4 Templates from one computer to another

I want to move added Motion Templates from my Mac Pro to my MacBook Pro to take on the road with me. These were originally created in Motion 3, I opened, converted and saved into Motion 4 and now need to copy them over.
How do I do this accurately and wholly so they work fully on MacBook Pro?
Thank you for any help

Delete Motion template from Final Cut Pro 7?

I installed a Motion template to use in a video, but there is something wrong with the template because it causes Final Cut Pro to crash every time I use it. It was almost impossible to remove the template from the video I was making because every time the template was clicked on, Final Cut Pro would freeze for a while and almost always end unexpectedly.
I don't really need the template so I'd like to just remove it. I cannot find a file or folder with the same name as the template in Finder anywhere. How do I delete this template?
I have Final Cut Pro 7 and Motion 4.

If you actually installed the M4 template, it should be in:
Library > Application Support > Final Cut Studio > Motion > Templates > (and you might need to figure out which one of the folders you find in there it is actually installed in.) With FCP closed, you can move it to another location (and trash the file in this path if "moving" it just makes a copy which will happen if you move it to another drive.)
FCPStudio allows you to apply a Motion Project right into the timeline... that would be different than installing it. Getting rid of that might mean you should find the original project and move it (or zip it up to save a copy) then trash the original.
What you should do is modify the template in Motion 4 for your timeline, then Export it. Make sure you set the Export option to ProRes 4444 and that Color + Alpha (for transparency) is selected in the Render Pane of the export dialog. You can then apply the output video to your FCP project.

HT200246 how do i set the decode template in motion 5 to pal

How do change the frame rate of the decode template from 29.97 secs to 25 secs in Motion 5?

Create a new project @ 25fps. Copy and paste the Decoder layers to the new project.
Alternatively, create a PAL project in FCPX and bring the 29.97 Decoder QT into the new project.
It could also be done in Compressor.

Templates with motion menus flicker

I have Encore CS6. If I use any of the templates from the library there is a very noticeable around the text on the menu. It's irritating to the point that I cannot use motion menus at all.

Yes, the m2v motion background. This results in the menu being rendered and increases the chances for changes.
I just haven't seen this, and can't imagine what would cause this from an unchanged template.
Is it only the chapter menu? Or all menus?
As an experiment, I'd remove the motion background, or perhaps better, I'd create a new project, pull in one of the offending menus, no motion, add a single timeline, and see if the problem is there. Looking to narrow down the problem.

Templates from Dreamweaver used in frontpage

I just finished making a website for a client. One of the things he wants is to be able to edit it himself, including the spry menu I put in. The thing is, he uses Frontpage. I was wondering if it's going to be possible for him to just open the template I made in Dreamweaver in Frontpage and he'll be able to make changes sitewide? Or is there a conversion I can do?

thanks patrick..... thats good to know.
altho essentially the client wouldnt need to open the motion project again once delivered ( we would be delivering a template file to be used only in FCP 6.0.2)
I presume that the template file could be imported into FCP 6 with no problems - and that the updates to motion wouldnt affect the template cause that is a standalone file? and once exported would bake in any shaodws/reflection etc.
essentially the question is - will motion templates exported from motion 4 work on FCP 6.0.2 when there is an outdated copy of motion on the machine or possible even no motion at all.
Has FCP 7 had any update or improvements that would mean that we could use these master templates here on FCP 7 and then we deliver it and everything goes 'error' when the bbc attempt to load it onto their older fcp!

HT201541 are there any new templates for Motion 5 since Motion 4?

are there any new templates for Motion 5 since Motion 4?

Hello and good day.
Yes there are many more templates and with the latest Motion Update we now have 3D Text Templates.
Plus you can always find new freebies being released here: http://www.fcp.co/forum/9-free-fcpx-plugins-and-templates
There are also many 3rd party developers that create Motion Templates as well for Motion 5.
Also, you can create your template with the ability to add many different parameters to control from inside of FCPX.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

Template From Earlier Version

My website was created using Dreamweaver MX in 2004 by someone who is no longer with our company. I am attempting to revise the site. I have loaded DW CS4 and am operating on Windows XP. I have created new pages using a template from MX version. The pages show up in my design view and in the local file list. They appear on the remote file list but the size says 0 KB (they say 10 KB on the local list). When I sync them, it says it works. When I "put" them for the upload, they will not. Is there a problem with using the template from the older version? Note: changes I made to existing pages (also created by this same template) upload fine and appear on the website.

When it asked if you want to put dependent files, it is asking if you want to upload any linked/imported css files,
any graphic files that might be used on the page, etc.
I you insert an image into a page, you will have to upload that to the webserver (ftp). If you select yes to put dependent files, then that is done for you by DW, otherwise, you will have to do it manually (select the file in the "files" menu and "put".
If your pages are on the web server, then it sounds like DW is doing what it is supposed to.

Which templates is Motion using?

I'm finally taking the time to clean up stuff on my drive, including sorting all the Motion templates I've acquired. I've been putting all my templates in Hard drive>Library>Application support>Final Cut Studio>Motion>Templates. In this same folder I see all of Apple's standard templates that come with Final Cut.
However . . .I've noticed now that there is another "Templates" folder at the root of my boot drive. This folder also contains all of Apple's standard templates, but this folder was created a year later than the previously mentioned Templates folder . . .probably when I upgraded last year.
So which of these folders is Motion looking at for the Apple templates? I'd like to get rid of the duplicates I don't need, so which ones can I trash?

I've gotten things sorted out, but I have some "why" questions.
I used Pat's idea of dragging something out of folders and re-launching Motion to see how it would react.
I had 3 Motion template folders:
1) Macintosh HD>Templates
--This folder contained all the Apple templates, but Motion wasn't looking at it.
2) Macintosh HD>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Studio>Motion>Templates
--This had everything . . .all the Apple templates plus all my custom/purchased templates.
3) Macintosh HD>User>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Studio>Motion>Templates
--This one was empty.
Following your advice, Andy, I put all my custom templates in folder #2 (User folder), made sure the templates in the System folder (folder #2) had all the Apple templates, and trashed the older folder of Apple templates. Everything looks as it should now, and there are no duplicates.
I'm left with two questions, though:
1) Why should all the Apple templates be in the System folder and all the custom templates be in the User folder? Perhaps this is so that all Users have access to the Apple templates, but multiple Users only have access to the templates they want. If that's the case, that's completely irrelevant to me. I'm the only one who uses this computer.
2) I've purchased a few templates from Ripple Training, and they certainly know what they're doing. When unzipping their templates, there's a "drag and drop" utility that automatically puts their templates where they belong. As you gentlemen have helped me sort through this, I've found that their templates automatically get put in the System folder, not the User folder. If the User folder is where these templates should be, why would their utility send the templates to the System folder?

Importing from Motion, Roundtrip = no trip

I'm getting an error message, which sounds like a Permissions problem, "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown." but what do I know?
This happens from within FCP (5.1.2), when I'm in the Browser trying to import a particular Motion project, as a .motn file.
The Motion project which I'm trying to import has audio, and I'm using Motion 2.1.2.
I went ahead and repaired Disk Permissions, but to no effect.
Any ideas to try? Need more information?

I don't think it's a permission problem. FCP can't recognize something.< </div>
Yar.
Output movie or .motn file contains or refrences unsupported media?
How about this weirdness: with another Motion project, I CAN import into FC, and, as I expect, it needs to be rendered, but when rendered and played back in the Timeline the whole clip is black and no audio came in as well.
<
The audio we've dealt with, it's not coming from Motion.
But the image is black. Unsupported codec? No, that would be white.
Try turning off one layer at a time and re-rexporting or re-rendering. Eventually, you will find the layer that's giving your trouble.
Okie dokie, we're officially stumped.

Jagged Text from Motion to FCP5

Hi.. still having trouble with jagged text from Motion 2.1.2 to FCP 5.1.2 (OSX 10.4.8), PAL DV 720 x 576. Would very much appreciate some insight. I have done a butterfly animation with some lense flares and text. Concept is butterflies come in from off screen and land on attractor to reveal text message with lense flare behind. Views great in Motion on fit to screen, resolution fine. But import as .mtn to FCP and text very disappointing, very noticeably having trouble with resolution, even noticeable on Viewer and Canvas, but really awful in full screen Digital Cinema Desktop Review because the text is so obviously not 576 lines. Something is happening in the import to destroy it despite trying everything I could see in this forum. I can actually count the lines on full screen, enough to estimate I am only getting approx 230 vertical lines instead of 576.
In both Preferences/Presets and Project Properties PAL I have set Broadcast SD 720 x 576, Pixel Aspect Ratio PAL D1/DV 1.07 , Lower (Even), 25 fps. Under Project Properties I have additionally tried 16 bit, and under Render, set anti-aliasing to Best, and tried switching on and off Dithering, and also increased motion blur to 50. I have also switched off interlacing (to None) in both Motion and FCP as one forum comment suggested. In FCP I import the clip as a .mtn file, and change properties to Premultiplied Black and Lower/Even line order prior to dragging into Viewer and then Canvas. But the Motion text already looks jagged in both these screens before I even render in the timeline. I learned a while back under Avid XPress Pro to give text gentle movement diagonally in order to create the illusion of higher resolution than if motionless. But once in FCP, it "wobbles" very noticeably as the application attempts to blur the distinction between the 230 vertical lines on the screen. As I mentioned above, it plays perfectly in Motion on a full screen, with no obvious degradation in vertical resolution, but it's very disappointing once in FCP.
In FCP I have tried just about every setting, but nothing so far addresses this problem. The main settings are 720 x 576 CCIR 601/DV PAL (5:4) Pixel Aspect Ratio CCIR 601 (720 x 576). I've been careful to also check Sequence Settings in addition to User Prefs, Audio & Video Settings and also System Settings. Under Sequence Settings/Video Processing I have tried RGB, YUV 8 Bit and high precision YUV in case that made a difference. I also did several exports to Quicktime .mov, including trying Lossless + Alpha, but no difference, and in any case that work around loses ability to update on the fly if something is chnaged in Motion.
Perhaps I have missed something obvious. I would very mcuh appreciate any assistgance before I go back and delete the text from Motion and do it in FCP instead. I really hope tht others have found solution which works within Motion. I have enjoyed crteating the animations and it will be a great product if I can do the text within Motion and export without loss to FCP.
Thanks heaps...

Thank you so much for all your replies and interest in my problem - very helpful. I have just come up for air (after several long nights of editing) and the project went out on time, RUN LIVE FROM MY MBP. Your replies saved me a lot of time, pointing out that the resolution was actually ok (for SD), but I just wasn't seeing it on FCP because it was only showing one field, and scaled at that. I firstly tried playing back with the Canvas settings suggested by Mark and it appeared as smooth as it did within Motion. Then I tried viewing on an external monitor via Firewire - all resolution great (at least for SD).
Typically I publish on DVD, but the above tests gave me enough confidence to print to DV tape as a backup (and I loved the user interface - so easy to add bars and tone etc). But I took the risk of running my MBP live at the event, complete with my SATA RAID ) drives and the M-Audio 1418, which I found worked really nicely daisy chained off my DSR-11 deck. This produced far better sound for the live event and gave me enough comfort that I could always run directly off the DSR11 if any of my computer gear failed. The second advantage was that it allowed me to cue precisely synchronised with the live drama, from which the butterflies flew onto the screen - exactly on time as the talent opened the gift box on stage. If you've tried to cue from dvd or dv deck you'll know what I mean. Some consumer dvd players go to sleep if the standby period is too long, and the DSR11 creeps along frame by frame to save tape wear, which can really get in the way of live events. Also, I foudn that the DSR11 needs to be cued at time code prior to the intended start point in order to allow adequate sound buffering.
But with my MBP set up - it was the easiest incorporation of video in to a live event that I had ever done. It worked flawlessly - all I had to do was hit the MBP space bar as the talent guestured with her hand out of the gift box onto the screen - butterflies flying out exactly on time.
Thanks again everybody.
