Does motion template tools have melware or viruses?

i want to get plug-ins for my new mac book pro with retina display that i got 2 days ago but I'm very scared that the website/software i have to use for it has melware to viruses on it please let me know if it does or if thres another way to get alex4d final cut pro plug ins

Apple has gotten -- i won't really say "overly" -- protective of its users and really really wants to control how software is installed on your machine (via the App Store.) Apple computers have had a very longstanding reputation for being safe from viruses, and that is still very much the case. About the only way to get a virus on a Mac is to actually install it yourself (any software that can be moved into protected areas of your system has to be given your direct password "okay".) Your caution is commendable, but the community surrounding Final Cut are very straight-forward people not interested in hacking your system. If you have any doubts, search out information on a search engine — any "bad press" is likely to surface quickly.
That said, the Motion Template Tool has a good reputation. To install it, you will need to go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy. You will need to unlock the pane by clicking the lock on the bottom left corner and enter your password at the prompt. In the General pane you will need to change Allow apps downloaded from: select Anywhere. (You can change this setting back as soon as you install MTT.)

No, it just means that you are running Lion and do not have Java installed. The update will simply check for any previous infection and let you know if it finds anything. If it doesn't find anything it will quit without any notices. In either case, it will then delete itself and you can sleep easy until the next one comes along.

Looong render times with motion templates

I've been a big advocate for FCPX as there are a lot of great features but there are some things that are just killing me, no.1 render time.
I'm working on some simple presentation edits using motion templates I have built in motion 5 and published to fcpx. The templates all consist of a single dropbox for video with a type field for test messages next to it. These are against a flat white rectangle used to reflect (similar to the coverflow but against a white background) and a subtle camera sweep has been added so it slowly turns from one side to the other by 30 degrees. Each of these is 10 seconds long.
I chop up my imported movie on the timeline (untouched by grade/fx/retiming) and add the template to each of the chopped clips. I then select each applied template in the timeline and use the video well to select the clip below it for the dropzone. I add my text. That's all good. I now have a timeline approx 3 minutes long consisting of these motion graphics templates.
Now, if I chose to either render or export a QT with timeline settings, estimated time is 8 - 9 hrs (I have tried both) I left a 3:30 project exporting last night at 11:45. It finished at 9:00AM.
That is just unacceptable. It is irritating because the functionality of building the sequences in FCPX far outweighs what FCP 7 is capable of but the so-called "renderless" abilities of FCPX
are making life ****.
I use Event Manager X to turn off everything I am not using except the individual project. I have reset preferences in Preference Manager to see if that helps. I have purged using terminal. I have my clips on an external firewire 800 HD. I have no other software running. I accept I need a more powerful Mac - I'm using a 2009 3 Ghz Intel Core Duo iMac with 6gig ram using Lion 10.7.2 and FCPX 10.0.2 but 9 hours for a 3:30 clip?
Any suggestions for where I can cut down on render time are appreciated. The source clip for the video for the dropzones and the final exported presentation movie are HD ProRes.
Cheers

The situation you describe does not seem normal. It should not take nearly that long to render and export your 3:30 movie. Considering that your mac is not one of the most recent vintage, and your are editing in full HD, one could expect it to take a bit of time, but nothing like this.
In the way of troubleshooting, you could try and export just one of these 10 second segments.
I have no way of knowing for sure, but I guess that it might export in a much more reasonable amount of time.
I suspect that memory may be running scarce, which, as has been repeatedly mentioned in these fora, is a problem affecting many of us using FCP X under Lion. You mentioned you used "purge" in the Terminal, but in such a long render you might have had to do it repeatedly...

Being brand new to FCX I want to purchase Motion5 so as I am able to add a motion template to the start of a video. Can someone please explain in simple terms how I go about this. Looked at tutorials

Being brand new to FCPX and Motion 5 I want to use a motions template I have bought for a wedding DVD I have shot, so as to place the introductory template at the start of my film. I have looked at tutorials and cant seem to see anything that tells me simply how to achieve this. Do I edit my film as normal in FCPX and then transfer to Motion to add the motion template or visa versa ?? I need a simple answer as I am far from an expert. Can anyone help please.

what do you mean by 'motion template'?
as you notice on launch of M5, it offers you different project types.
when you select 'title', the minute you save it, it's avail on next launch of FCPX in the title-browser.
same with effects.
if you like to use M5 for producing a short segment (eg, I created my 'openers' with it, some animation of our soccer-team's logo, the first 4sec in this video), you simply export the final project as a Quicktime-file and add it to some Event in FCPX for future use ...

Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them? When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do. Is this legit? An Ad?

That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.
You can protect against pop-up adware with the AdwareMedic tool Thomas Reed has http://www.thesafemac.com Tom is a major contributor on these communities and great security guy.

No; it means that the computer has adware. Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Is there a way to import a Motion template in FCPX, IF you DON'T have Motion on the computer.

I am working with another editor that has FCPX, but not Motion. I created some lower 3rd templates in Motion that I would like him to use. Is there any way to import motion5 templates in to FCPX if the user does not have the Motion application?

The titles you made in Motion are located in your movies folder. the path is ~/user/movies/Motion Templates/Titles. Your other editor needs to create that file path in his machine and then drop your titles in the Titles folder and FCPX will see them. ie He needs to create a Motion Templates folder and a Titles folder inside of it and then drop in your title folders. Make sure the folders are correctly named and I believe they are case sensitive. Just duplicate what you see in your movies folder.

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking. Filters are basically ignored by the tracker. Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker. Did you change the timing after doing the tracking? If so this would also require you to re-track the shot. Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.
Cheers!

I believe I might have a virus on my mac. Mackeeper shows up 4 times on my download listings but there is no icon on my applications tab. Does this mean I have installed some sort of problem on my computer now?

Hello Last night while watching a video on Facebook a pop up window said I had a virus and to clean it click on the link. I did so and followed a prompt or 2 and then I thought this was a scam so I stopped. However I looked at my download file and it shows Mackeeper listed 4 times. Does this mean I have installed MacKeeper and if so does this mean I have installed some sort of malware/spyware or problems for my computer hence for myself.
Thank you for your help
Maureen

Contrary to what Geeks on Hugs is telling you, Mac OS X does indeed have a basic malware scanner. It is not a feature that is directly accessible to the user, and works a bit differently than every other malware scanner out there. Gatekeeper, which has been mentioned here, is entirely separate, and provides a different method for helping to protect you against malware.
The anti-malware scanner in Mac OS X is called XProtect. When you download an application (or any other kind of executable code), it is automatically "quarantined," so that when you open it you're asked if you really want to do that. I'm sure you're very familiar with this aspect of Mac OS X if you have ever downloaded any apps from outside the App Store. What you don't know, though, is that each time you try to open a new app, that app is checked by XProtect. If it is identified as malware, you will not be allowed to open it, and will be warned that it's malware.
At this time, there is no known malware that can infect a properly up-to-date Mac. All current malware will be blocked by one or more methods.
For more information, see my Mac Malware Guide.

Why does font looks pixelated when exporting motion template to FCP?

I created a motion template for some text animations and I also tried with just a motion file and when I added either one to FCP it just looks like crap (pixelated edges, really really bad edges)
I noticed this happens if you don't have a drop shadow or a glow selected on the fonts
is there a way to solve this?

Does CS 5.5 have a live paint bucket tool like CS 4?

I can not find the live paint bucket tool in CS 5.5. There is a paint bucket icon but it does not work like CS 4.0. CS 4.0 was so easy to use. I cannot get CS 5.5 to work at all.

I know you found it but in case someone else need to find where they are...
The "Live Paint Bucket" & "Live Paint Selection Tool" are located under the new "Shape Builder Tool" in CS5 & Up.
All three tool have their own shortcuts:
"Live Paint Bucket" - [K]
"Live Paint Selection Tool" - [Shift+L]
"Shape Builder Tool" - [Shift+M]

Does photoshop elements 13 have the pen tool and where is it?

Does Photoshop Elements 13 have the pen tool and if so where is it?

I don't understand what you mean about the white line, but many tools in PSE are actually groups of tools. The blur tool shares a slot with the sharpen tool and the Smudge tool. Click hold on the one that's visible for a popout menu, or keep tapping the R key till the blur tool comes into view.
