Animation not carried over from Motion to FCP

In my FCP project, I sent a clip to Motion. In Motion, I imported another motion file of a car with spinning wheels that I made earlier and used that in the new Motion clip, along with some additional animation. Now, when I go back to FCP the car is visible, the additional animation is also visible, but not the spinning wheels. Is it not possible to embed Motion files within Motion?
When I export the clip from Motion directly to a QuickTime movie, everything is fine. But I'd rather don't go that route because it's much easier to move between FCP and Motion automatically.
Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks!

I'm guessing Final Cut is not referring back to the Motion file correctly.  If that is the case here's a fix.
Open your Motion file back up (recent projects if you aren't sure what it is) and resave it by a different name somewhere you can easily find it.  Alternatively you can export is a ProRes4444 clip if you don't want to have to render it on your FCP timeline.
Return to the clip in Final Cut.  Control-click on the clip that should be a Motion document and pick "Reconnect Media."  Point Final Cut to the resaved/exported Motion file you created.  You may have to uncheck the box about showing only media with the same reel name.  Hit Connect.

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded the 5.1.7 update and saw the following
    Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and will provide no further security or performance updates.
    Additionally, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac will no longer be available for download from Mactopia. It is recommended that Macintosh users migrate to more recent web browsing technologies such as Apple's Safari.
    So if you want it do it soon.
    Happy Christmas everybody,

  • MM:Price Change did not Carry forward from previous to current period

    Hi Gurus,
    Client has Reported that the Weighted Average Cost (WAC) was automatically  reset to Zero in a particular Period and didn’t carry over from the previous period , The initial analysis was done and it was found that there is a configuration for “Price Change in Previous Period and not in current Period” which has to be maintained for the company code
    The question is whether this configuration (“Price Change in Previous Period and not in current Period”) impacts both the Standard Price and
    WAC or does this impacts only Standard price
    Any pointers will be helpful, Will also Award Points

  • Batch Renames do not carry over to Finder

    When I Batch Rename my photos in Adobe Bridge, the images file names appear to change in Bridge, but when I close out of Bridge and open my images in Finder the images keep their old names and do not carry over the new Bridge batched rename.
    Can anyone tell me how to get my files to permanently change their names from Bridge to Finder?

    Working across a server in general, is not supported by Adobe.
    Bridge in particular is very sensitive to any problem(s) in your server configuration, which we cannot troubleshoot for you.
    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Values carried over from SDCR to SDMJ

    Hi All,
    does anyone know where we can control which values are carried over from a change request (SDCR) to a normal correction (SDMJ)? I know how where the partner functions are carried over but want to know where things like external reference number comes from. Thanks.
    regards,
    Jason

    Dear Jason,
    Ext reference no is the no which is generated whn you post service desk message from Satellite system
    actually this no is normal the basis mesage no.
    As we knw there are 2 part
    1 CRM
    2 Basis
    External ref no belong to basis part
    So if you can go your ticket and then use follow up button to your support desk ticket then again goto follow up preceding doc
    here you can see the same no or basis part of ur message
    For copying this no to subsequent doc you can goto spro .....change Transaction ->change Transaction type.->copy control for change req mgmt->define mapping rules
    CHosse SDCR to SDMI ....Tick the field Ref....so it wil copied.
    here you can chose the doc type and then wht you want to copy ( i mean field select it)
    Hope it clarifies.
    Regards

  • How can you sort bookmarks in the Sidebar by date added? Works in Library but does not carry over to Sidebar.

    When opening the Bookmarks Sidebar, the oldest bookmarks added are at the very top, easily visible.
    The most recent bookmarks added are at the bottom, requiring me to scroll all the way down every time I want to visit a recent bookmark. This is a major nuisance. I'm actually a little shocked that this happens when it's such an obvious hassle.
    How can I flip the list of bookmarks so the newest ones are right at the top where I can easily access them?
    Sorting in the Library does not carry over to the Sidebar as far as I can tell.

    Looks as though the SortPlaces add-on should be able to do it.

  • Dashboard prompt value not carried over to report in a Link on Dashboard

    The Dashboard prompt value is not carried over to the report displayed as a link on the dashboard. The report has the 'Is Prompted' filter. It does not work in both cases:

    2. when the report in a different page on the same dashboard is specified in the link.

  • Adjustments not carried over to external editor?

    I've noticed that all my adjustments are not carried over to my external editor (niksoftware). Is this intended? Is there an option I'm missing that would allow me to do so? Because basically this forces my workflow to first do any adjustment externally and then come back to aperture to do the aperture-specific adjustments. Is this how everyone does it?

    This answered my own question, sorry for asking.

  • Changes that i make to song display in iTunes, will not carry over when I sync to my ipad. This is only since i upgraded to ios7 and downloaded the latest itunes. Any ideas why?

    I use my iPad for music when i teach my dance class. The default layout in the music program on iPad is: song title, artist and album. I need the name of the dance, so in iTunes, I right click on the song title, then choose "get Info".  I then edit the info and under album title I write in the dance name. Then when i sync the iPad still has the same three columns, but the info i need displays under the album column.  UNTIL i upgraded to ios7 and installed the latest iTunes.  When I synced last night, after adding new music, the songs that were already in the playlist, stayed the same. ALL the new songs were placed in the playlist but none of the info that i edited synced.  It shows it as i want it when i look at the playlist in iTunes, but it does not carry over after the sync. 
    I hope this makes sense and does anyone have any idea why?

    Amazing! I'm a dance instructor and am doing the exact same thing as you - and not seeing what I need on my iPad Air ... I can't believe there has been no reply on this! I also can't believe there isn't an easy way of seeing track info in the iPad or iPhone but I've spent hours searching and am not finding anything

  • My photos are not transferring over from iCloud

    My photos are not transferring over from iCloud.I have put my device back to factory settings and still they will not transfer over.The only device all my photos are still on is my iPhone.

    If it appears to not be making any progress even though you have a strong wifi signal, sometimes turning the phone off, then back on will get things going again.  Otherwise about all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  If you still have the old phone, you could also try creating an iTunes backup, then restoring that backup to your new phone.

  • O2 (UK) - Minutes Carry Over From Previous Month?

    Hi,
    If you've got an iPhone 3G in the UK, and you're on an O2 tarrif, do your remaining voice minutes and texts automatically get carried over to the next month?
    I ask because a friend of mine has just completed her first month of owning an iPhone 3G. But, none of her remaining voice minutes or texts got carried over to the new month. So she's starting again with the basic 75 voice minutes, and 125 texts. Is this what should happen? Seems wrong to me.

    On any o2 package the minutes and texts do not carry over. The £30 package is very poor value wise so if you are going over your minutes I would move up to the £35 package. To break what you get down to monetary values:
    What the £30 package gives you.
    75 mins is £15 of calls(20p per minute)
    125 texts is £15 of texts(12p per text)
    Unlimited wifi free(cloud and bt openzone, normally £7.50 per month)
    Unlimited internet free(via network signal, normally £7.50 per month)
    Total price would be £30 as well.
    What the £35 package gives you.
    600 mins is £120 of calls (20p per minute)
    500 texts is £60 of texts (12p per text)
    Unlimited Wifi is free(cloud and bt openzone, normally £7.50 per month)
    Unlimited Internet is free(via network signal, normally £7.50 per month)
    So £180 worth of calls for £35.
    Worth it for a extra £5.

  • Is it possible to create a new List from another List's template and NOT carry over the associated Workflow?

    Related to
    this post, in cases where it's desirable to have two different workflows for two different Lists—is it possible to NOT bring forward a hardwired workflow when creating a new List from a saved template?
    I.e. List #2 still has the workflow from List #1 hardwired in.  List #1 still needs its workflow but List #2 wants to have a separate Workflow.

    More importantly, because it's relatively easy for most folks to just start from scratch with a new Workflow—how does one disassociate a carried-over Workflow from the new List?
    Use the web-GUI. (List Settings > Workflow Settings)
    From Designer, there's a shortcut button at the top of the page in the Workflows tab: "Administration Web Page".

  • Export from Motion to FCP

    I am editing a few title card for a project that will eventually return to FCP. I built title cards in Motion and now I getting prepared to export. Obviously, I want the graphics & logo to look as good as possible and I wanted to know what codec to export on to best integrate to FCP?
    The FCP sequence settings are 1280x720, pixel aspect ratio: Square, frame rate 59.94. Any good advice to a novice? Animation? ProRes HD?
    Thanks.
    best,
    brighamcottam
    ps. I will also be doing it for lower 3rds if that changes anything.

    Why not just bring the Motion project (.motn file) directly into FCP?
    No export necessary.

    Yar, this works if the OP's workflow is adapted to the procedures. Just personally, mine is not. Deeply rooted habits from Ye Olde After Effects: I like having the rendered movies available as media.
    To the OP's other question about the codec choice, Animation vs ProRes. The only reason to use Animation is if you know why you're using it: alpha. If you need the alpha and you want to stay in ProRes territory, you must use 4444. The last of those fours represents the alpha channel.

  • Export/Import From Motion to FCP

    Hello
    I'm new to this forum and have just recently begun working in the film and video industry. I am also new to the Apple community. So please excuse any misuse of terms as am not fully integrated into the business yet. I have created a background that has a lot of motion as well as an emitter in it and duplicating the sequence didn't seem to be the way to go. So I looped the sequence to run for 90 minutes. I am trying to decide if there is a need to export the file from motion as a quicktime file or should I just import the motion document into FCP and overlay my text elements (also created in motion) on V2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    By the way thanks to Patrick for all you great "fun with" projects they have been a great help in learning Motion.

    Thanks for your input. What I'm building is a sponsor loop for a banquet. I needed a 90 minute graphics bed over which to apply my text and logo elements. I ended up modify and existing 15 sec clip from the motion library tossing in an emitter and looping it for 90 minutes.
    The problem was the sheer size of the file and the time it took to render if FCP. I ended up exporting the file as an 8 bit uncompressed QT movie so I wouldn't have to rerender it in FCP. It took about 2 1/2 hours but in the end it worked out.
    Here is a follow up question. I have finished the text and logo element that goes over the bed but when the time comes to import the Motion file into FCP I have to render every time I put it into the timeline. I realize that the first time it appears it's necessary but is there a way to get around that having to let the thing render over night as this clip will be copied 44 times and each copy takes about 6 minutes to render.
    I was thinking about exporting it as a QT file from motion just like the background but then I can't get the title sequence to appear over the backgound the way I would like as a QT element compared to Motion element. Tranparency issues.
    Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
