Creative question for motion - caution...longish post!!

hello patrick, special case, and the rest of the gang...
I have (for a limited time...) a macbook pro, loaded with bookoo software, including fcp studio and a 30 inch monitor...woohoo!!!
Now the problem...
1) I am a rank amateur with motion, and
2) I have one big project to get right,
3) I do it right, and work may spring for a mac for my workspace...
So...
I work in the navy, and am working on a graduation ceremony that will incorporate survivors of a WW2 ship and medal of honor winner...what we call high visibility.
we will have a nice stage, with a screen reminiscent of the academy awards.
I want to use motion to create intros for the speakers, (somewhat akin to what you might see on an award show) my simple idea thus far:
use a live type background, add a sparkle or two, and have a lower third for the name...
it needs to be neat, and not draw too much attention from the speaker.
For you creatives, am I on the right track?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
imac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

i would use final cut, mainly for putting it all together.
create a neat background, swooshes, plasma or whatever.
something that looks cool, but can be used as a background.
(i like the eurosport-look, sort of abstract and moving slowly)
then work on the names, make them come in, animate them so that they're not too static, and move them out again.
not sure how you're going to do the whole thing when you don't know how long someone speaks.
play it live?
you could render individual movies (background + name intro + name static, another one that has the name moving out again), and time-control the ceremony with keynote.
i've now done a few events, and the main challenge was to build my project in a way that allowed me to play things depending on what is happening on stage.
because when someone practices at home and says "i need 2 minutes to read this text", on stage it'll be longer or shorter, mostly shorter since people speak too quickly.
my first event was "timed" in flash, which was crap since video quality sucked with flash6.
you could create a DVD with the names of the speakers being animated in menus, when speaker is finished, press "enter" to play the next clip and go to the next menu with the next speaker.
hope this helped.

Major motion question for my FCP project

Hey Forum! I think this is the FIRST post I've made for motion, I see some names here, like Patrick S from the Final cut forum...and I've only "just" got into motion: Some background: I bought the "ripple" training series on motion...still learning.
I've run into a "snafu" that I am willing to bet is a simple fix...I just can't find it in Help or in the manual/tutorials: HEREGOES:
I created a neat little animation, two arrows in a ball (very cool working them out in Motion, and very simple too!) . I added a "spin" behavior to it...and had the spinning arrows repel text, then follow a motion path, with cool livetype flowing in behind it...LOOKS GREAT!!!
SO...how the **** do I "layer it" onto my video??? I tried to import the video itesef (.mov) from FCP, but it does not just layer (meaning the black is replaced by the video).... what did I do wrong? HOw do I fix it?
Thanks so much for your time!
Mark

I know this question is answered (and pretty old now) but I stumbled across it whilst looking for something else... and just wanted to check that you didn't have the background set to solid in project properties under the edit menu?
My settings in the general tab of this are background colour: black, and background opacity: transparent. If this was set to solid instead of transparent then you would always have a black background even if you imported your project directly into FCP.
If it was this then please let me know as it'd be nice to think I've actually managed to help somebody. I'm sure though, that you've probably already checked this, but best to be on the safe side.

New Sequence Question - for slow motion video

Hi,
I'm a very new user of Premier. I've recently had issues with choppy playback of my preview videos. After much research I believe the issue was down to two things. Firstly my sequence did not match my input clip, I had it set to my desired output. Secondly, I was editing video across my network, rather than bringing it locally to my PC. I've fixed the latter issue by copying video files to my local machine and then moving them back onto the network once I've finished editing.
The advice out there essentially seems to be to match your sequence to your primary input video. I've done that and it helps. However, it's raised a big question for me. My input video is from a GoPro and is at 1080p 50fps. I ultimately want my output video to be slowed down to 25fps (resulting in a constant slow motion effect throughout the entire sequence).
If my sequence settings are set to match the input clip (50fps) and I slow the video down by 50%, will that result in an unsmooth video? My basic understanding is that if I slow 50fps video down by 50% then Premier will have to double the amount of frames. Where as previously, if I slowed it down by 50% Premier had enough frames to play with as the output video was 25fps.
Hopefully my question makes sense! Any advice on what the best approach is? Or is this a complete non-issue when it comes to exporting the video (providing I export to a 25fps formart)?
Thanks,

I think you said it OK, you are just missing the right words to do what you want. Let's walk through this for you, and for others that might read it later.
If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a sequence created from it, then slow it down 50% it doubles up each frame to achieve slow motion. Not what you want.
If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a 25 fps sequence, it drops half the frames to play at normal speed. Not what you want.
What you want to do is interpret the 50 fps video to 25 fps, then drop it into a 25 fps sequence. Each frame will play at 25 fps and generally be smooth as silk.
I don't have any 50 fps clips handy, but here are examples of taking 60 fps to 30 fps. (Excuse the idiot way that we Americans do things. Our 30 is actually 29.97 etc)
First, right click on the clip in the Project Panel, select Modify, and Interpret Footage. Then change the 50 to 25 - similar to this image:

Quick question about Creative Cloud for students

Can i use adobe Creative Cloud for students for commercial expressions? I am a student, but i'm also a freelancer in my spare time.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but i can't find the answer on this website…

As Chromaoran already said - yes.

Creative Live! Motion Supp

I don't tend to post in newsgroups because I rarely feel I have anything worthwhile to input, but I feel this is pretty worthwhile. I've had Vista Ultimate RTM installed for some time now and whilst I was very pleased with it, I was unable to use it as I use my Creative Li've Motion with Skype to speak to my girlfriend overseas. This was incredibly disappointing. I contacted Creative a number of times to try to get more information on why there wasn't yet a Windows Vista driver for this, what I would consider very new and expensi've, webcam, why it would take until the end of 2007 to produce a driver and why their Vista range wasn't even compatible with Windows Vista (clearly a case of 'cashing in' in my opinion). Anyway, I accidentally forgot to select Windows XP in the boot loader today and ended up in the long forgotten Windows Vista installation. I decided to take a look if there was any update to the driver release schedule but?to no avail. I then thought I'd have a quick check if anyone had maybe created 'homebrew' drivers, when I found the following post:http://forums.creative.com/creativel....id=387&a#M387?I decided that this was probably untrue as I'd already tried the XP drivers but I thought I'd give it a shot. Low and behold IT WORKED!?Why hasn't creative made the fact that the XP drivers now seemingly work available on either the Vista compatibility chart or elsewhere on the creative site?I'm losing steam for this rant now but rest assured I'll be avoiding Creative products like I would a dose of gammy, rampant knob rot. ThanksMessage Edited by unconfirmed on 0-04-20072:35 PM

First of all, this is a user-interaction forum, not a support forum. If you need support, then you need to contact Customer Support. The forums say this in red at the top of the listing:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...disclaimer.asp
Now, have you tried checking to ensure you have the required 500ma of power (full USB spec?) Some laptops cut power to the USB to save battery life, but this will also cause the cam to not detect. You can usually enable USB Keyboard or USB legacy support to get more power.
Next, check in your Device Manager to see what your display adapter is. If it's a ATI Radeon series 200, you probably have a certain ATI chipset on your motherboard that's known for not having 00% to spec USB ports, and they don't work with some of our webcams as a result. More information about that is in our knowledge base, Solution ID # 7557.
As for the rest of your post, there is no reason to attack and threaten Creative. We provide multiple channels of support, so there is no reason to behave this way. Please try to be less ab-"noxious" in your posts, and you may find more people are willing to help you.

Sounds "sticking" in games and a question for Creat

I'm not sure if this is the best place to do it but I'd like to kind of formally briing forward a bug in games that's not X-Fi dependent. I've had this happen with my Audigy 2 ZS and my Fatalty.
I know this isn't anyone's fault but it's still quite annoying. Sometimes if a player near you starts shooting (usually it's shooting) then the server or he/she lags for a second, his/her gun will be stuck on firing. Till they die or change weapons or fire again, you have that sound looping constantly. At first I thought this was only in BF2 and a bug in the game. However, after playing FEAR online more now, I've had this happen several times. Although it's rare, it is a pain. Sometimes if you ask the player to fire their gun again they will other times they won't.
My question for Creative is, would it be possible to have a "reset" command for the soundcards? Have it flash the RAM real quick or restart the sounds somehow? Just make it a hot key that players could push when it happens?

I am pretty sure I have the same case. The product description on Amazon says VTSO, but the metal tab actually says IVSO. All of the ones I see look like they are probably the same or very similar case with a different name. I bought the QuickShot cover, and it is OK, but it does nothing to protect the corners, which I consider very vulnerable spots. The IVSO/VTSO provides all around coverage. I don't think we are going to find anything much better. If I do I will come back and post.

Issues with Creative Cloud for teams deployment workflow

The Adobe Creative Cloud for teams IT Deployment Guide lists out steps for IT admins to deploy the CS6 applications and then have their end-users license the trial software with their Adobe IDs once they have been invited to the team. There are two major issues with this document.
First, the media that is on the FTP is not for North American English. We are working to get that posted on the FTP site ASAP. In the meantime, you can find the CS6 MC media from: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
[Note: Getting media from that page requires the use of the Adobe Download Assistant which is very consumer focused. Sorry about that.]
Second, in order to have the ability to login properly with a Creative Cloud for Teams account the system needs to have the latest copy of Adobe Application Manager installed. If you do not do this step the end user will be prompted for a serial number.
Unfortunately the Adobe Application Manager can’t be packaged with AAMEE nor is it a native installer. I know, I know! Here are the links to the Adobe Application Manager installers:
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
It can be installed from command line by:
Win: <Path to Setup.exe>Set-up.exe –mode=silent –action=install
Mac: <path to ASU> /ASU/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install –mode=silent –action=install

How do I change from an Online Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition (one-year) to Adobe Creative Cloud for ETLA

I received a redemption code for Adobe Creative Cloud for ETLA from my school and signed up with the redemption code but now it is saying that I only have Online Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition (one-year). What can I do to change it to the Adobe Creative Cloud for ETLA that I need for my college courses.

I do not understand your issue, ETLA is just a educational form of CC, you have redeemed CC using redemption code on Jan 20, 2015, it valid for an year.
Are you talking about how to use it offline as desktop app, then you can use the CC without internet for up-to 90 days, you need to log in once in 90 days to keep the CC active.
Hope this answers your question.

How to license Acrobat Pro as a single product in Creative Cloud for teams.

We're just starting with Creative Cloud for teams and I have a question about purchasing it.
We seem to have the option to either add all the products or to license for a single product.
Since a lot of our users are only using Acrobat Pro we'd like to license only that, but when we add a single product license in our team Acrobat Pro is not in the list of applications.
Any idea why?

Hi,
No way to remove it yourself,you must contact the customer service and normally they will remove it without any problem .

Licensing and costs for Creative Cloud for teams on small company

Hello,
I have a few questions regarding the teams solution. They are:
1- Is the license by user or by computer?
2- What is the actual cost of Creative Cloud for Teams ( small companies with less than 100 employees). In some sections it states monthly cost of 69,99€ while others state 49,99€.
3- Assuming the monthly cost of 69,99€ does this cost covers all products listed ( ilustrator, photoshop, dreamweaver, premiere,...) for a single user or is that the cost per user and per product?
4- How long do I have to keep the contract? Only 1 year? If I want to cancel when should I communicate? or I just need to set on the console 0 users?
5 - Assuming I have only one creative user can the admin console be installed in a different machine (e.g. network admin) without the need of an extra license?
6 - If I acquire 1 license and decide to drop it 1 year and 1 month after will I pay 1 year plus that month or do I need to pay the 2 years?
Thanks for your feedback,
Regards,
Pedro
