ALIASING effect in final cut on motion project imported in sequence

i built a project in motion, and imported it in final cut pro sequence, and although my output setting in motion was ok (apple pro ress 4444, render best etc, ) i had a aliasing problem on still images, thats did not happen when i rendered before my clip from motion and imported it in FC, what is your experience.

Aliasing when rendering Motion projects in the FCP timeline comes from a mismatch between the Field Dominance of the timeline, the Field Dominance of the Motion project within the timeline, the Field Order setting in the Motion project, and/or the Field order of any media within the Motion project.
IOW, Click on your timeline, type ⌘0, check the Field Dominance. Click on the Motion Project in your timeline, type ⌘9, check the Field Dominance of the clip. Change it via the popup when ctrl/right clicking on the setting. Also, right/ctrl-click on your Motion project, select Open in Editor, check the Field Order within project properties of the Motion project and the Field Order for any media within the Motion project.
The best way to avoid mismatches is by "round tripping" your media you wish to send to Motion from within FCP by right/ctrl-clicking on the clip in your timeline, selecting Send To Motion, then do your work in Motion, Save, Quit, and fall back into FCP. This ensures a match between the Motion project and your timeline.
Make sense?

I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project. Can Apple Motion 4 remove wires/rig? Are there any rig removal plugins for final cut pro? Thanks!

I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project. Can Apple Motion 4 remove them? If not can anyone recomment any plugins for Final Cut Pro or Motion that can remove them. Thanks!!

In Motion 5 there is a plugin from CoreMelt called "SliceX" that does this. But I don't know anything in Motion 4 that will do it. You may get more help posting in the appropriate "Final Cut Studio" section of this forum.

Is there an easier way to work with adobe after effects and final cut pro x

I use adobe after effects and I am thinking about deleting motion and compressor ( I can always install again). If you have a good reason to keep those apps let me know because I don't want to be hasty. If I delete them and stick with after effects and final cut pro... Is there a secret to easy working between FCPX and adobe after effects?
Thanks

You'll go from FCP X to and from Motion a lot easier than AE. Motion does pretty much anything AE does, most of the time faster and easier. Without Motion, you can't do custom templates. You can't customize the encoding of files without Compressor. Why would you want to remove them from your system? Leave them, use AE if you want along side of them. But I'd learn Motion first. Cause AE doesn't read FCPXML, so going back and forth between them is a PITA.
And until Apple releases the round trip between FCP X and Motion fully, we have this gem:

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution?

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution? I'm using it for a taser sequence.
Thanks!
Matthew

Open Motion, look for lightningin the generators. From there, it's a question of figuring out how it works and what you need to do to make it work for your sequence. That's about as free as it gets and it will ony be as good--even if someone else did the work for you--as the amount of time you're willing to invest.

After effects vs final cut pro?

Is comparing adobe after effects to final cut pro, a fair comparison? What I mean is, looking around on youtube, I see better... effets on projects made with projects on after effects. now, I love FCP for editing, does adobe give a better program thats can do effects. I am looking to make my videos look more profesional, and I notice after effects has effects built into its system to do effects.
After looking at this vidoe, im sold, final cut pro can not do this that quick.

Effects do NOT make your videos more professional. Professionalism is the only thing that can make your videos appear to have been produced, written, shot, and edited by a professional. Even faking professional video requires elevated professionalism.
Hey! Just wait one second! That's is NOT what is promised by Apple and whoever makes those promises! All I have to do is buy the computer and the software and I'm a "professional!"
But I truly and strongly encourage you to go ahead and purchase After Effects based solely on the Video Copilot tutorials. Know in advance that AE is about ten times as complex as FCP ever will be and you will want to post extensively in the Beginner's AE Forum on the cow.

I would also suggest extensive posting in the FCP Beginners forum on the Cow for the OP.

After Effects and Final Cut Express

Hey,
Is it possible to export a project from After Effects into Final Cut Express? I just want to make sure before I get it.
That's all, thanks,
Leroy

You can export a QuickTime movie from After Effects and use it in FCE. AE projects will not open in FCE.

Final Cut Pro/Motion Shut Off/Render Errors

I have Final Cut Pro Studio 7. I work mostly with Final Cut and Motion. I have three problems that are occuring on a common basis and I desperately need help.
1) Final Cut Pro constantly shuts down when attempting to render. Mostly when I am rendering Motion files.
2) Motion also shuts down when working in it or it completely locks up.
3) When the Motion files render in Final Cut Pro and I go back to review what I just inserted, purple files show up saying "Render Error In Motion".
I have been trying to figure out how to fix the problem, but everything I do, does not work. Can anyone please help. I have 5 projects I need to get done by the end of next week. Two being due by Tuesday. Any assistance will be helpfull.

Export Final Cut Pro 7 project to open in FCP 6?

Is there any way to open a final cut pro 7 project in final cut 6?
We have a bunch of older Macs that won't run FCP7, but we use for training but our hope was to upgrade the newer machines to the new Final Cut Studio, but it would be great if we could create something on the newer machines, that we could transfer to the older ones.
We tried XML export, but it didn't look like it included filters and such, so we are wondering if there is any other way?

Nope. no other way.

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.

How do I turn on the GUI controls for the Focus Blur Effect in Final Cut Pro X

I can't find the setting that enables the GUI control overlay to manipulate the parameters of the Focus blur effect in Final Cut Pro X. When I have the clip and the focus effect selected I only get a center element overlay. At one point I had controls for all the other elements of this effect.
anyone know a shortcut or how I can toggle these controls back on?

I don't see any other screen controls either.
Maybe there was a change sometime, or maybe you were using a different effect?

How do i create a spotlight effect in final cut pro x

How do i create a spolight effect in final cut pro x any help would be greatly recieved!!

Many thanks!

In the Timeline position your Playhead at the starting position.
In the Viewport position the Shape Mask at the starting position.
In the Inspector click the Add Keyframe button.
Press Control-V to open the Animation Editor to see your keyframes.
Move the Playhead and the Shape Mask to a new position.
In the Inspector click the Add Keyframe button.
Continue adding keyframes until you have defined the Shape Mask’s movement.

Quality Setting for exporting from After Effects To Final Cut

I've created an animation in After Effects for Final Cut. My Export setting are Quicktime Format Options are RGB, Millions of Colors Pre-Multiplied (Matted)
Although the font images are clear in After Effects I'm getting pixelized font images on the final product. See below
Here's the image before in After Effects before I attempt to render the movie
Quite a difference as you can see. Any suggestions for setting coming out to clear up the problem?

Michelle, are you able to get to the point in the screenshot below? Is ProRes an option there? Does animation or Apple Intermediate Codec show up? Thos might be a couple alternatives if ProRes is unavailable.

Half Frames in Final Cut and Motion

Hi,
This has probably been asked before, and if not I'm surprised, but here goes -
I'm editing a music video with images, and I need the images to change on the beat of the song.... but we have worked out that they need to change every 24.5 frames. But neither Final Cut nor Motion will allow the image lengths to be cut to half a frame. It's either cut at 24 or 25 but not in-between. Obviously this messes up the whole flow of the video. It mustn't be a rare problem, especially in the music video world where there is a lot of cutting to a beat. Is there anyway to achieve this? The time line is split into frames but the playhead (and any attempts at stretching the clip) always snap to the frame (even with snap turned off).
Is this an inherent problem? Is there no solution?
If anyone has an answer I will be over joyed to find out!!
Thanks!

Obviously this messes up the whole flow of the video. It mustn't be a rare problem,
especially in the music video world where there is a lot of cutting to a beat.< </div>
Well, it's rare that an editor refuses to cope with the limitations of his medium of choice. You can do frame-by-frame examinations of dozens of "music videos" and you will see they all cut on the temporal borders of frames or they create an alternative transition.
If you cut one image at 24, the next one at 25, and repeat the cycle, it is physically impossible for the human eye/brain--ear/brain encoding and decoding system to perceive there is a difference (Although, forced to view a long sequence of these cycles, a viewer might sense a rhythm. It remains unlikely it will be identified as a one-frame difference in the cutting rhythm.) Ask any psychologist. The same principles of visual perception and persistence of vision long ago established 12 frames per second as the minimum image-change rate required to convey the illusion of animation, even in a 30fps timebase. That's why interlacing works.
You can help hide the change by accepting and then imposing a two-frame transition of some kind.

How to Uninstall older version of Final Cut and Motion

Hello
I have a older academic version of Final Cut and Motion. I ordered a Full blown version of Final Cut Studio 2 that should arrive this week. How do I uninstall my old version of software? I don't want them conflicting with the new version.
My other question deals with performance. I'm running a Dual 2.5GHz G5 with 6G of ram. Video Board is the ATI x800XT. Will this system work for editing HDV or am I going to need to buy a new Intel based computer? I really don't want to spend 4K for a new system.
Thanks
