Can I use Motion 5 without Final Cut Pro but maybe for iMovie?

Hi guys, if I buy Motion 5 can I use it to create a project without Final Cut Pro or X or what ever?! And can I create transitions for iMovie?
Thanks

Stelo08, yes, Motion will export in a handful of formats.
h264 is the most popular, but did not support transparency, which you would likely want if you wanted to do lower thirds (titles).
Motion will export in prores 444 which which supports transparency, but I do not know if it works in imovie.
(I tried it in Camtasia 2.3 and it did not there, but it seemed to work in ScreenFlow 4.03)
Additionally, you can import video footage into Motion, so worst case scenario, you could pull a shorter scene into motion, do your overlays, export that scene and then add it back into imovie.

  • Proper Motion to Final Cut Pro 5 workflow for highest quality in Final Cut.

    I have read several post on Motion 2 to Final Cut Pro. I am somewhat unclear as to how to get the very highest quality Motion 2 project into Final Cut Pro 5. I am currently creating a new DV project in Motion 2, as I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5. I notice the Motion 2 files look blurry inside Final Cut Pro 5 when I import the Motion project file and add it to my sequence timeline. Clearly I am doing something wrong. Should I ever export from Motion as a Quicktime movie, and then add that Motion Quicktime movie to the sequence timeline? I know that the Animation codec gives the highest quality from Motion, but what about when you are using the Motion project file in Final Cut Pro 5?
    As always thanks in advance for taking the time to read and reply to my Post,
    Sebastian

    if you're exporting using the DV codec, Quicktime displays the clip at a lesser resolution than the clip actually is, and it will appear blurry on a computer monitor.
    open the clip in QT, go to "Window>Show movie properties". select the video track in the top portion of that window, then the "Visual Settings" tab. Check off the "High Quality" checkbox at the lower right of the window.
    this only affects DV codec clips, from what i understand.

  • Can't use numbers in Final Cut Pro (of any kind)

    I'm having a very big problem with FCP5 and I'm on a tight deadline.
    Any use of numbers have stopped functioning in FCP. I've tried toggling numlock. I've reset the keyboard layout. I've trashed and deleted both preferences. I've reset the PRAM, NVRAM, ALL in Open Firmware. NOTHING is fixing the problem. I have two keyboards, both of them acting the same way, and it only does it in FCP.... no other applications. Numbers work everywhere else. Anybody have any idea what the heck is going on?!?!?!

    What about 6? It always works for me.
    Sounds like a case of bad juju. If you figure it out, please let us know. Sure sounds like a munged Keyboard Layout, though. If you open the Keyboard Layout tool, do any symbols appear on the number keys? What about the keypad?

    It is just as the message says. Your video card is not compatible.
    You can add a compatible graphics card and use FCP X with your mac.  I can't suggest which one, but maybe other people on this forum can guide.
    And you may also get good suggestions in the Mac Pro forum.

  • I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

    I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

    Yes.  A couple of ways that might work.
    First Way
    What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence.  Does it display correctionly? 
    OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c).  Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted.  Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort.  That should maek things work.  What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence.  That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
    Second Way. 
    Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline.  You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

  • 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!

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    It doesn't seem to work on mine, when I go to command: the export button is in grey, whereas all the others (import; customize) are black and can be actionned. Is this a restriction in the trial version or is there a way to activate export?
    Thanks

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

    Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

    Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
    Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
    However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

    In addition, to get you up to speed with FCP X, you can also watch 2 hours of free video tutorials here

  • I recently installed older version of Imovie and final cut pro free trial now imovie 11 wont open what do I do?

    I recently installed older version of Imovie and final cut pro free trial now imovie 11 wont open what do I do?

    Do you mean that the old version of iMovie (which version?) worked until you installed the FCP trial?
    Note that you can only transfer projects from the latest version of iMovie (10) to FCP 10.1
