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.

  • 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.

  • Still image with motion has flicker pulsating problem

    I use FCP 5.0.4
    I have read the many threads about this subject and am still not able to succeed in getting rid of the flicker/pulsating in a still image with motion.
    I would say about 25% of the stills with motion have the jitters; all the rest look great.
    The first thing I tried was
    Effects:Video Filters:Video:Field Shift:none
    as well as
    Effects:Video Filters:Video:Flicker Filter min, med, and max.
    Maybe 5% were corrected with this, but the other 20% still had the jitters even after using a combination of the above or by themselves.
    I just burned a test DVD using a variety of the persistently jittery stills from my current project and although the jitters change a bit, they were still there so all of these failed:
    1. Effects:Video Filters:Video:De-interlace Upper (odd)
    2. Effects:Video Filters:Video:De-interlace Flicker Filter minimal
    3. Effects:Video Filters:Video:De-interlace Flicker Filter max
    4. Effects:Video Filters:Color Correction:Broadcast Safe conservative 115
    5. Effects:Video Filters:Video:Flicker Filter max
    6. All the tricks together which means
    Effects:Video Filters:Video:De-interlace set at Upper (odd)
    Effects:Video Filters:Video:Flicker Filter max
    Effects:Video Filters:Video:Shift Fields: none
    Effects:Video Filters:Color Correction:Broadcast Safe conservative 115
    I know this issue has been kicked around a lot and i know some folks are not happy that it has to be kicked around at all. But I am doing something wrong because my DVDs look very un-PRO. Would anyone like to talk me through this nightmare preferably with as many details as possible since I am obviously missing something critical.
    Thanks in advance.

    There is no 'secret formula'. It just takes thinking through the issues.
    1. Set the image size for each image that makes sense within the context of your project. Going significantly larger than the displayed area of that image (including movement) is just asking FCP to do additional work to resize the image. FCP is less sophisticated at resizing images than Photoshop. Use Photoshop and your planning of the movie to get the images to the appropriate size.
    2. Wasted effort and totally irrelevant- you could set it to 7200 dpi if it makes you feel better.
    3. Good idea - be sure to knock down areas of pure or very bright white. These are the elements that will give you the most trouble.
    4. Don't do this unless you want to throw away HALF the picture information. Deinterlace deletes half the picture and then photoshop recreates it through interpolation of the remaining half of the picture. Why do this?
    5. Make your determination based on what works. If you have properly exposed and sized the material, the need to blur is greatly reduced. ONLY do it on the images that need it. Why degrade every image if you do not need to do so?
    6. See number 5
    7. Lay out your time line early, view the work on an external broadcast monitor and only mess about with the images that require it.
    In the psycho business they have term for much of the referenced post - it's called superstitious behavior. Basically it comes down to "It worked before so we recommend it to everyone without regard to their situation" ... here's another example:
    Many years ago in my architecture practice, we had one of the early 512k macs (upgraded from the 128k!) I needed to show one of the interns how to create a project budget spread sheet in Excel. Inadvertently I clicked on Word, said "oops", closed it and opened Excel and we went to work.
    A week later I was walking by the computer and overheard the same intern explaining how to work with Excel to another architect. "First you open Word, close it, THEN you open Excel", she explained. When asked by her 'trainee', why do you have to open Word first, wouldn't it just be easier to simply open Excel? Her answer was just perfect, "Well, it works every time, what's wrong with that?" so it goes ...
    good luck with your project.

  • Problem with Motion Menus

    I'm using iDVD 6.0.4 and am having a problem with the menu system.
    Everything is fine, and the project is about ready to burn, however whenever I go to add a still picture for the background of the two Chapters selection screens, the Motion Menus time jumps from 4:45/15:00 to over 15:00 by just adding one picture.
    What is causing this, and how do I get it to stop!?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks...
    Mike

    I had the same problem. Took ages to figure out the problem and the error message does not show up in the manual, though the 15 time limit for 4:3 is mentioned. Does this work better in iDVD08?

  • Are there any problems with motion menus and buttons in DVDSP 2 on OS 10.4?

    I have not used DVD Studio Pro 2 since upgrading to Tiger but it appears to no longer be showing moving motion on menus and buttons.
    Are there any problems that I should be aware of when using DVDSP2 on OS 10.4?
    I have not upgrade to a newer version only because I do not have any HD software to create DVDs.

  • Motion menus

    Hi, I'm having trouble with motion menus and buttons in DVD SP 2.0. They set up ok, but do not play in the simulator - both menu and buttons are black! If only one menu is assigned motion, it will play once, but revert to black when motion buttons are added. I'm using a G5, but at a university.
    Is this unusual for 2.0 - I understand motion button should be ok, but am I missing something - like they don't work in this software version?
    Any thoughts on this appreciated.
    best,
    BRuce

    Did you ever figure out the issue? Why dvdSP 2.o wouldn't play the motion menus? I'm having the same issue.. but it's been working for years, and suddenly it doesn't work.... I wonder if it has something to do with the OS.... what version were you running?

  • DVD Capacity and Motion Menus HELP!!!

    I am a newbie . . . . After 2 weeks or more of working on my iMovie and now iDVD, I am just about ready to burn my first dvd . . . my second attempt. My first attempt, after approximately 12 hours, left me with an error while burning . . . one or more of my buttons were out of the TV safe area. That was an easy fix. Since then, I've added a few things . . .primarily, 5 background photos with music (using the Passthrough theme). Before burning, I checked the project info and see that my "Motion Menus" is 126:11 of 15:00. I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it. I assume it's the added photos and music that I added, but find it hard to believe since it's just photos. Also the DVD Capacity is now at 8.7 GB of 4.2 GB. How did this happen and how do I fix that too? Thank You!!!

    I figured it out. For those that want to know how to fix this issue with Motion Menus/DVD Capacity (overload). :)) Reduce the amount of time for each menu that contains motion using the slider. Slide to the right to reduce the amount of time, thus reducing your "Motion Menus" overload! which then reduces the DVD Capacity. Phew!! :))

  • Encore 2.0 motion menus not previewing?

    I have been having some trouble with motion menus...I got a copy of Encore 2.0 several years ago and it worked fine then. I recently had a need for it again so I re-installed it and started a project.
    My problem is that even with the video transcoded, added to the menu, and the motion menus rendered, it doesn't show up in the preview. I can hear the audio, but it doesn't show the video. After tinkering with this for a little bit I went ahead and burned a disc, thinking that my problem was just a preview issue. The finished disc also doesn't work. You hear the audio and the buttons and timelines work fine, but no motion menus.
    I found a discussion on here a while back about changing registry entries (for when Encore gets hung up on importing) and I had a similar issue. I tried that and it worked. I wondered if something similar may be causing the motion menus not to work.
    I should mention that I tried re-installing Encore with no such luck.
    Any ideas?

    Awesome. I checked out the other thread, and I didn't find the solution directly, but somewhere they mentioned "layers" and I realized how ignorant I was. The background layer was turned on by default, so I couldn't see the video that was playing behind it. I just toggled it off and presto! The menu works.
    Thanks again.

  • Single field text glitches with Motion templates in FCP6

    I've set up some templates in Motion for use with FCP6. The templates are straps and end boards with text over a moving graphics background.
    Occasionally when these templates are used one piece of text glitches, a single field flick to the right of about 20 pixels, whilst the rest of the text is ok. it's always at the same point in the animation, about 2sec in. The graphic is stationary text over a moving vt background, so no "comedy keyframes" going on.
    This also happens on strap templates, which are similar. This time the glitch occurs if you cut between two straps (an edit, not a blade cut) in which case the incoming glitches.
    Any ideas??
    Steve

    The situation you describe does not seem normal. It should not take nearly that long to render and export your 3:30 movie. Considering that your mac is not one of the most recent vintage, and your are editing in full HD, one could expect it to take a bit of time, but nothing like this.
    In the way of troubleshooting, you could try and export just one of these 10 second segments.
    I have no way of knowing for sure, but I guess that it might export in a much more reasonable amount of time.
    I suspect that memory may be running scarce, which, as has been repeatedly mentioned in these fora, is a problem affecting many of us using FCP X under Lion. You mentioned you used "purge" in the Terminal, but in such a long render you might have had to do it repeatedly...

  • Rendering Sequence with Motion 3 Template Crashes FCP

    I am using a template with 8 drop zones from Motion 3 in FCP 6.0.2. The template is used about 10 times end to end with a slight overlap. As FCP renders the sequence about 23% of the way through it crashes FCP. The templates contain still images - no video.
    Any thoughts? (Besides don't use templates)
    Thanks!

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    find . $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

  • Flash Video with DVD-like motion menus -- Is this possible?

    Hi all,
    I just joined this gropup. I have some SMIL 2.0 presentations
    with synchnorized multiple audio (several languages supported) and
    video as well as DVD-like still and motion menus. These are
    semi-transparent menus and actually are super-imposed over main
    playback area (root layout in SMIL).
    Can Flash Video has menus in it?
    Can this type of a/v synchronization and menuing be done in
    Flash Video?
    I don't want to write as SWF with menus since clips and # of
    menus on screen and placement might be different from video to
    video. These are for some training videos.
    To give a background, in SMIL I have an application server
    (Jboss) which is dynamically creating SMIL based upon database,
    user inputs and menu selections. What is basically sent back to the
    browser is SMIL page markup including playlist of clips up to next
    menu point. Once all clips are watched and user selects menu button
    to continue then a new SMIL is generated and processs repeated.
    I am thinking off porting this over to Flash Video because
    currently clients need RealPlayer (has SMIL 2.0) support to be
    downloaded and installed. Another local app to manage!
    Any ideas or recommendations?
    Thanks and kindest regards,
    -Mark

    You can build interactive DVDs with video and audio, but no Word documents (at least not as part of the interactivity). DVD SP can certainly be used to create interactive DVDs. The advantage is that interactivity will extend to DVD players, not just computers.
    If you want very rich interactive content, with Word docs, PDFs, etc. Then the best program would be Director. However there are some caveats with Director.
    1) The learning curve for Director is extremely steep. You would be better off hiring a freelancer who already knows the program, then spending all the time learning all the ins and outs of the program.
    2) Director is essentially a dead program. Since Adobe acquired it a couple of years ago, they have made no upgrades of the program. Nor have they made any announcements on continued development.
    3) The content you develop will only be playable on computers, not DVD players.

  • Having trouble with buttons in motion menus

    I'm having some problems with buttons in motion menus:
    - I've created a motion menu where some text (button names) fade in.
    - I set a loop point after the text has faded in completely.
    - I set the end condition to "loop"
    (there is some animation after the text fades in that I would like to loop)
    - I draw out 5 buttons and assign different overlay colors to each of the button states.
    The problem is that each time the motion menu jumps back to its loop point.. the menu seems to stutter - the overlay color on the currently selected button turns off for a second and the button is momentarily disabled (can't be selected). This problem only shows up on the actual dvd build. The buttons work smoothly when tested in the simulator.
    I can avoid this problem by losing the animation and just setting the end condition to "still".. but I was wondering if anyone knows if there is something I might have missed or could try as a workaround.
    17" powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    This problem only shows up on the actual dvd build. The buttons work smoothly when tested in the simulator.
    It could be how the DVD is reading the DVD (sort of the nature of DVD, everything is not exactly the same), because buttons will not show until the loop point and there may be a slight pause from end of animation in the menu to the loop point. And the overlay will turn off briefly when it hits the end.
    Visually what you can do is make the animation in a manner so that at the loop point the buttons are part of the background itself and make sure your loop point is at that point (or slightly after) so it looks like the button is there.
    For the most part the setting of still may work okay (really a creative call), sometimes listening to the same music/seeing samee animation may be too much (of course it depends on project) and you can jump to the loop point on the menu on subsequent calls

    How to publish Motion 5 templates with another editor's Final Cut Pro x

    That's also simpel,
    Let the Motion 5 designer deliver the map that he made. For example he made a title effect with the title "We Are Awesome Company Title" than you get that map after the head "Effects" map. So he must send that map with all the stuff in it to an editor and the editor place that map in Motion Templates -> Effects.
    Restart Final Cut Pro X and there you go.
