Can you do 3D composition in Motion yet?

Or are there any workarounds?
I saw a tutorial on how to make a building in Motion and I wouldn't mind trying to place it somewhere in a video.
Can I use a 4 point tracker to rotate and scale the bottom 4 corners, while tracking 4 dots in a video? It doesn't seem like it, so perhaps, instead of moving the object, could you (Rather awkwardly) move the video about to make it look like the object is moving within it?
BQ: Why is Motion 5 so **** slow on my computer? Did Apple even test this thing? I really hope they fix all this.

I watched a tutorial for making the building and his plan was to make one, duplicate it, change the colour of the windows and fly a camera through the small city.
He was supposed to show you his end product but he ended up not doing it. Seems like he's completely stopped tutorials. It was about 2 years old. He suggested to turn off the replicators while duplicating/moving the buildings around...uhm, that's basically what I wanted to say in regards to the replicators, that he suggested turning them off for the meantime.
Anyway, I tried placing the tracker underneath the whole group (I'm guessing the single layer above the tracker is what will be changed) but it kept wanting to go into the group. However, if I remember correctly (I don't have time to open Motion 5 and try it again) it was just beneath the group name, but in the group. Meaning that it moved the whole thing, but it wouldn't allow me to do a 4 point tracker.
I'd like to try making a cuboid but I can't seem to find out how? I'm a bit of a noob at this. I'm guessing I have to make a rectangle and just stretch the flat sides? How can I do that?
Also read my computer specs below the first post. Motion 4 seems to struggle on my computer, but watching tutorials with Motion 4, they seem to be just fine.
Also I'm exporting/importing my media to/from a FireWire 800 external G-Drive.

Can you freeze a frame in motion?

Can you freeze a frame in motion so that I can use it FCP?

just as an add on the shortcut is Shift+N if you are going to use it alot. Also, when you make the freeze frame, the default duration will be whatever you have specified in your "User Preferences" Window under the "Editing" tab. I think 2 or 3 seconds is the default. If you're doing this alot you might want to be aware that you can change the setting so you don't have to fuss with trimming or expanding each freeze frame.

Can you make a composition widget act like an accordion widget?

Is it possible to make a composition widget act like an accordion widget? The reason I ask is because the styling that I can do inside of a composition widget is much more than that of a accordion widget which is just a simple text frame, makes it impossible to add images/icons where I would like to. The only work around to this is to make a .psd file with my states already predefined in it, however If I have to resize the widget for any reason I then have to go and edit the psd file vs just simple moving the items in muse.

Hi
How exactly you are trying to style the text or image ?
You can insert any object or widget in accordion , add image or draw a rectangle with different states defined. You can resize while placing the image etc.
If this is not you are looking for , then please elaborate as what specific changes you are looking for the object in accordion.
Composition and Accordion , both are different and works differently but you can use accordion itself and make the changes to text or image anything inserted in the container.
Thanks,

Can you customize drop zones in Motion?

Im trying to help a client who spends an extra day on his "template" adding picture to it but then resizing and cropping when the photo's are portrait as a apposed to landscape. I'm not really sure why this takes him so long, I think he has Motion 3 so maybe someone could tell me if this is much different with drop zones? But i was looking for a way to speed up the process? Let me know? Thanks!

Drop Zones will not distort an image, but only show what will fit. If you have a perfectly square Drop Zone, and put an anamorphic clip in it, you'll cut off the left and right edges. You can always take your Motion template in FCP and Send To Motion to change the size/shape of a Drop Zone. It's pretty easy, can be done pretty quickly.

Can You Send A Clip To Motion?

I don't have the tools I need in FCPX to complete a title sequence as I would like, so I thought I'd just send the clip to Motion and work with it there. Is this possible in FCPX? I don't see it in the help document.
Thanks,
Lawrence

I suppose the questions were similar. But earlier I was asking if there was a way to import a motion file into FCPX. This time, I was merely asking if you could send a video clip to Motion as the basis for starting a Motion project. I understand the lack of round-tripping. Just wanted to quickly get my video clip into motion to lay the titles over it there. But I guess it makes sense that if you can't bring it back, then you can't send it out. . . well, as much as any of this is making sense.
Thanks Stefan

Can you uprez graphics created with Motion?

I'm doing a low rez offline and want to uprez the final product. Is that possible with Motion? Is it automatic or some sort of incredbly complcated workflow to do it?

I was afraid that might happen. you could just scale the type layer... As long as there were no filters on it, it should remain vector and won't look bad if you simply alter your scaling.
For instance if you went from 640x360 to 1280x720, 1280/640 is a 200% increase. You could set the scaling for the type layer to 200%. Can't guarantee that the layout will hold, though.
Did the folks who dictated the change of resolution think there would be no consequences?

Patrick

Video editing 'special effects': can you apply a fast/slow motion effect to video clips?

I haven't been able to find a way to create the effects of fast or slow motion in the video clips. Is there a way to do this? If not, please consider adding it in the full version - I use these effects alot when editing videos.
Thanks!

Hi,
When working with a video layer (clip) in the Timeline panel, either 1.) Context-click on the selected clip (right-click or ctrl-click for mac) or 2.) Click on the flyout button located at the top right corner of the clip.
The "Speed" option should show up in the flyout menu. This is only available for video layers. If you're working with still or smart objects the speed option is not available.

Can you adjust the sensitivity for motion sensor for MBP 13"

I recently notice the clicking noise when I move the laptop, usually sits on my lap. I have been reading this and people talks about disabling it via the 'sudo pmset' command to set 'sms' to 0.
I want to know if there is a parameter somewhere just to change the sensitivity instad of turning this off completely.

I can't see any obvious way to do it using the pmset command, J. , but third party applications certainly do change it for various other purposes, mostly entertaining (see skipchecker for example. You would think, accordingly, that there must be a means of doing so for the HD head parking routines.
Amit Singh has an interesting piece on its use .
I'll let you know if I can find anything else that might help.
Cheers

Can you define motion paths in Captivate 8 responsive projects?

I haven't purchased Captivate 8 yet. Just wondering, can you define motion paths in responsive projects?

Motion effects are not supported for responsive projects, motion paths have no sense.

Can you sync your ipad & iphone to the same itunes account yet or?

its been over year now and the iPad 2 is out, its apparently evident that when something goes wrong no one response here with a solution, can you or can you not sync both a iPad and iPhone with the same iTunes account flawlessly yet, because i helped over 4 people to do this and every single method seems to be work arounds.
has anyone figured out how to sync both devices to the same itunes account with out work arounds after all your apps get scattered outside their folders?

You have always been able to sync as many devices as you like to one account/library/computer.
Plug in one device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
Unplug that device.
Plug in the other device, select what you want to sync, then sync.

How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

I'm a college student in Seattle. We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5. One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline." Yup. The answer is one...... or is it? I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens. So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline. Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline. You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers. Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it. But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).
