Anyone running Motion 3 on a 1.67 Powerbook w/ Ati 9700? or am I dreaming?

I am looking to purchase FC2. I use it for web video production. So far I am using Motion 2 and Aperture 1.5 without any crashes or glitches.
So my question...I would like to know if anyone is using Motion 3 on their Powerbook.....or am I wasting my time thinking about running Motion 3 on my Powerbook?
Thanks,
Ed

The big shadow areadin the middle is quite prominent agains a background of normal program windows. I don't have applecare, but the machine is less than a year old.
What do you mean by "you can't really see them in the pictures". Do you mean that you can't see anything in my pictures, or that one can not normally see white-spots in pictures?
If one looks at smaller versions of my pictures, the spots are much more prominent. I can provide links to smaller versions if you think that will help.
Additionally, I know more than a few people who have sent their machines in for repair, and got them back damaged, with scratches on them. Is this something I need to worry about?

Is anyone running the NEC LCD2690WUXi² with Nvidia GT120 or ATI Radion 4870

ive heard these are possibly not compatible with the latest "Nehalem" spec mac pros graphics cards - any truth to this?
can anyone tell me what are best 3rd party IPS Panel monitors out there that work?
lastly is 2 x 24" or 26" monitors best for video editing - i cant imagine running 2 x 30" screens, it must be overwhelming to manage from so close, must be more suited to photography/design?

Hi GForceSA
If you can afford the extra cost buy the NEC Multisync LCD3090WQXi. In the UK mine cost me just over £300.00 more than the 30" Cinema Display, but there is no comparison between the two. The Cinema Display was state of the art when it was introduced (about 4 years ago?), but the NEC Multisync is in a different league altogether. I have been using one for 4 months connected to an 8-Core 2.93Ghz 2009 Mac Pro with 6GB RAM, 640GB Hard Drive, and GT120 Graphics Card and its colour fidelity is fantastic. You can also buy it in a silver finish, which looks great alongside a Mac Pro.
In my opinion the Spectraview version is not worth the vast premium it commands over the Multisync. I use my display for photo editing and digital imaging, and I bought a ColorMunki Photo for accurate monitor to print calibration. With the money I saved from not buying the Spectraview, I purchased a Wacom Intuos 4 A4 Graphics Pad, which is far better than a mouse for editing purposes, and I still had some change left over!
I have had no problems at all using the GT120, but I have just ordered the Radeon HD4870, because I will be using an Epson V750 Pro plus Silverfast Ai software to scan my collection of 35mm film negatives & transparencies onto my system, and each of them will have a file size of 40MB or more. After they have been edited in Aperture2/Photoshop Elements 8, some of then will then be printed up to A2 size on an Epson Stylus Pro 3880. So I thought it was time to invest in a faster graphics card.
The difference in screen space between 26" and 30" displays is very substantial, so, if you can, buy the larger size. Certainly I am very glad that I did!

Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro on Separate Machines?

Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro from the same Final Cut Studio license on separate machines? We hadn't realised when we bought Final Cut Studio that it wouldn't allow this. Our editor doesn't use motion, and while I mainly use After Effects on our motion graphics machine, I was wanting to try using motion for some particle effects. Unfortunately, it won't let me open it while Final Cut is running on our editor's machine. I can understand not letting two copies of same application run under the same serial number at the same time, but it would be nice to be able to use both programs that we own concurrently. At very least it would be good to warn you that this isn't possible in the product description, not in some fine print license agreement once you have already bought the software.
-Matt

I do not know of any software, in any platform that can operate from the same license over a network simultaneously.This is the exact reason for the existence of Volume Licensing. If for example a project ran in each one of the included applications from different sources that were not an active network, I doubt you would have a problem.Like, doing a project at work and geting the outcome with the Powerbook at home...Sorta!

Can I run OS 10.2 on a PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz?

I need to use an old OS9 application but can't run it on my MacBook Pro. So I got my old PowerBook G4 out, which is running OS 10.5.8 and OS 9.2 on it. It appears 10.5.8 won't run OS9. So I tried to do a clean install of 10.2 from a PowerBook G4 software install disk...although I'm not sure if this disk is for the 1.67 GHz or my even older PowerBook G4 Titanium.
The long and short of it is that the PB G4 1.67 GHz won't read the OS 10.2 system install disk - using the C key on restart.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can backward install to OS 10.2?
Regards

Furthermore, you have to find the correct Powerbook G4 restore discs to restore 10.3.7 through 10.4.2 onto a partition or Firewire hard drive, and then use the Mac OS 9 restore installer from those discs to install 9 so Classic can run in the background on 10.3.7 through 10.4.11. Starting with 10.5 Classic could not run. Only a very few Powerbook G4s had boot access to Mac OS 9 while 10.5 was installed:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1379979
The rest required 10.4.11 or less to be installed on a Firewire hard drive or Partition, and 9 restored from the prebundled discs that came with the Mac in question. And for those only 9 as a Classic environment without most of the drivers would run.
See my FAQ*:

for possible alternatives.

Do I need to have Final Cut to run Motion?

Hello guys,
I understand that I can purchase Motion 5 (and Compressor 4) as stand alone applications, but I was wondering:
Do I need to have Final Cut installed in order to run it?
Just use it to create animated graphics, then export it as a self contained file and use it in any editing program.
And I was also wondering if Motion 5 would run OK on a new iMac (27 inch one with NVIDIA GE FORCE GTX 775 card).
Thank you so much for your feedback,
Paul

You do not need to have Final Cut installed to run Motion or Compressor. Each app can run as a stand-alone. Some functionality is enhanced when running them in combination. Motion will run just fine on any current hardware. You can always check the system requirments to know if the applications will run on a particular computer.

Has anyone run into the problem of downloading or opening an E.pdf file? I am running on 10.6.8 and am unable to open the file. Any suggestions?

Has anyone run into the problem of downloading or opening an E.pdf file? I am running on 10.6.8 and am unable to open the file. Any suggestions?

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

The iPhone cannot be synced. Unknown error (13019) - anyone run into this?

Stephen's got you covered.
I've also seen the following reported cause/workaround:
After several Google searches I found the iPad syncing problem to be caused by iPhoto 9.4 not handling the & correctly in names. It's not recognizing them as & which is causing problems with XML. You can manually change them or wait for Apple to issue a fix to iPhoto 9.4. I started to do the manual fix & I just have too many to change.
(Manual renaming isn't going to be an easy/good workaround for a bunch of folks, though.)

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems? I have over 400 GB,s free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems. I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256 GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop. You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor. If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade What is your system out of interest? I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough. Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

Mac Book Pro running motion

Anybody running motion on a new Mac Book Pro? How do you like it? Is it worth upgrading from my Imac?

I love it and have no problems in using Motion on an MBP. You will need the Universal version of FCP Suite (with Motion) so be sure to budget for the upgrade or cross-grade.
I put the MBP to the test last week and was impressed with the results. We had to render 40 individual 3D animation clips user Poser over a 1 week period. Some of these renders, then the export into QuickTime, took as long as 20 hours to complete. The MBP allocated 1 CPU to Poser for this task.
At the same time, I was working in Motion, Final Cut Pro, and Cleaner, as well as having Safari and Mail open for about 16 hours of each day. I had to create numerous motion clips, bring them into FC, render clips in FC, then export as a movie...then have Cleaner create WindowsMedia and QuickTime clips for the web. Also used Mimic and GraphicConverter through each day.
I did not have any problems during the week. The MBP was on virtually 24/7 of the week processing clips. I was very pleased with the results. Most importantly, I was very pleased with the MBP's performance.

Anyone Running Aperture 3, One library with 150,000+ Photos?

Would like to now if anyone is running Aperture 3 with a very large Library? Ideally I would like to hear from anyone running one library with 150,000 images or more. I'm planning to Import just short of 200,000 images and I'm hoping it will handle it. If anyone responds I would be grateful for mac specs as well. . Thanks for your input in advance.

You'll not have any trouble with most processes on any dual-core 2GHz Mac with 4 or more GB RAM. (With only 4 GB, you shouldn't run any other programs when Aperture in running.)
Sharing Previews is a no-no (but IME it is the single biggest bog-field in the app). Load time will go up. Faces may become slow. It will take A LONG TIME (days) for Aperture to finish all its initial internal processing. Search the forum for general suggestions on keeping Aperture running well.
I built up a test library of 250,000 images just to make sure. I was able to run this Library off of an external FW400 drive (the whole Library, not just the Masters) on a 2.3 GHZ dual-core laptop w. 4 GB RAM.
I have since put together a database of 350,000+ images. It runs fine. I'd say it runs "normal" on all machines, as long as operations are kept to 100 images or so. Relocating a quarter-million Masters will take some time. Moving 10,000 images into new Projects, or moving those Projects into new Albums, can take a few minutes (but under ten).
You should set aside a week for the import and all the processing. I strongly suggest turning Faces off until the Library is structured and working (you've made most major changes and you've not stumbled across any glitches). Then you can turn Faces on and let it run in the background for a few days. I suggest NEVER turning on "Share Previews". YMMV.
My experience w. a 350,000 image Library leads me to believe that it could handle 10x that. The breakdown of the work seems to have been well-engineered to fit the currently available pipelines. But -- the faster your machine, the faster Aperture will run. Tony Gay and I compared his PowerMac with my MacBookPro for some Aperture tasks -- his was twice as fast.

When downloading the trial, has anyone run into download issues?

when downloading the trial, has anyone run into download issues?

I remembered we have weird permission issues at work. Somewhere between my Home Windows 8 machine(horrible permissions issues with network), my home mac, email and my work computer, some permission got out of whack. The workaround for this was copying the file to my desktop, back to the exact same spot on the network. This resolved all issues.

Will the new iMac run Motion 3?

I can't really afford to go to the Mac Pro. I am looking at the new iMac (24 inch, 2.8 processor model), and wondering if it will run Motion 3? I know it won't be ideal, but still I hope that it will suffice for a high-end amateur user.
I currently run Motion 2 on a Macbook, which is obviously not ideal, but at least somewhat works.

No, except by running it through Mac OS X Server 10.6 in emulation.

Is anyone running a OCZ Core SSD?

I have an inconsistency running a OCZ Core SSD with my K9A2 CF.With a regular HDD Samsung HD321KJ no problem whatsoever.
Sometimes the OCZ Core is very fast and sometimes so slow I get a freeze/hiccup for just a split second.
File copy goes sometimes with >80MB/s and sometimes with KB/s
I've made a support ticket with OCZ. It could be the drive is just faulty.

Sake also keep in mind that the SB600 is a mediocre SB. SSDs should show it's lack of performance.
Well, the OCZ NON-Core works just fine with SB600. MSI K9A2 Platinum.....
http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3311&p=3
The SB600 even has higher max throughput as the MCP51...
It's not performance but occassional short freeze with the SB600 that it makes feel perform mediocre with the MLC based SSD.
So IMHO pure a matter of compatibility.
Quote from: Stu on 23-July-08, 05:59:20
Sorry, but we're all users like you, no MSI staff here. If you want to contact MSI support about it, you'll need to open a ticket at http://ocss.msi.com.tw
I've contacted MSI. That's no help. I'd guessed that. Obviously not tested (yet) and a matter of luck that it works out of the box.
