Export Motion to Final Cut - realtime playback

Hi, I have a Motion4 file with FullHD greenscreen shot keyed out, I imported the .motn file to FC, but it doesn't play in real time. Is there a way to make FC play the .motn file in realtime (set lower resolution, quality etc. somewhere) ? Or do I have to export a QT movie out of Motion? Thanks

Thanks Adam... Another thing is, I do have to use Animation codec to maintain Alpha channel, right? When I use it, my computer (2x2.8 Quad-Core MacPro) isn't able to play the keyed out and background stream together...

  • Transparent background from motion to Final Cut pro

    Hi Guys,
    Can someone help me with this. If I do stuff in LiveType the basic background is trasparent, which means no background. And I can easily export it to final cut and use it how it is. But in Motion it gives me always a background. In the view by the chanels i can set it to transparent, but when I export it as a mov file the background colour is there.
    So is there anyone who could help me how to work out this problem.
    Thanks in advance,
    Andor Zahonyi

    Heya Andor,
    As the other folks posted: LiveType defaults to exporting movies using the Animation codec (which supports alpha/transparency). The default codec in Motion (for SD and DV projects) is the DV/NTSC codec, which doesn't support alpha/transparency. Just click on the 'Options' button in the Export dialog window and pick the Animation codec.
    Better yet, do as Rodrigo and Graham suggested and take advantage of the FCP<->Motion integration. No need to even render. Rather than re-explain stuff that is already well-covered in the documentation, go to the Help menu, open the manual, and go to Appendix C. It will give you clear, step-by-step instructions on how to roundtrip between FCP and Motion. Check it out.
    Good luck with your project!

  • 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!

  • Is it possible to export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera

    Hi,
    Recently i buy on 27inch iMac with Final Cut Pro X installed.
    Also I buy Thunder bolt to firewire adapter & firewire cable from Apple.
    Now i am abel to capture my video from DSR-PD175 mini DV camera to FCP X.
    How can i export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera?
    Please advise....
    Thanks & Regds

    II'm afraid not.
    Not digitally anyway. Maybe by going to a monitor that has analoh AV output to the camera.
    Probably Premiere. Or old FCP7.

  • Exporting files from Final Cut Pro in Snow Leopard

    I am using Final Cut Studio 2. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before the upgrade when I would export files from Final Cut the dialog box would automatically go to the last used folder location. Now, each time it goes to the system hard drive. Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks

    Fix what?
    Just choose the correct folder to which to export.

  • Can't Export Video from Final Cut Pro

    After updated to OS Maverick, I can no longer export video from Final Cut Pro.
    It pops up "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
    ANYONE CAN HELP??

    10.0.2, I think this is where the problem is.
    I will update to the latest (10.0.9) and update this thread to see if this will resolve my problem.

  • Command to Export project as Final Cut Pro XML from jsx script

    Hi All,
    Can somebody get me the command to export the project as final cut pro xml from jsx script.
    I was using the extension builder script earlier for cs6 panel development, so we were using pjct.exportFinalCutProXML("pathname");
    Now I am working for panel in Premiere CC so working on HTML 5 panel and qe dom scripting(.jsx).
    In some jsx examples i got there is script to export sequence as final cut pro xml but cannot get the code for project export.
    project.activeSequence.exportAsFinalCutProXML(entire_out_path);
    Also please let me know if there are any kind of reference available about all the functions and properties in the pe dom scripting for premiere pro cc.
    I am using premiere pro cc 7.1, windows 7, Eclipse Kepler.
    Thanks in advance,
    Anoop NR

    When you reimport the exported project XML to FCP, do you get the full project or just the single bin/sequence? If you get the full project then it sounds like you need Premiere help, not FCP help ... have you tried asking on the Adobe forums? If you only get the single bin/sequence then it seems you might have inadvertently selected those prior to creating the project export. Try making sure that your FCP Browser window is active and that you have not selected anything within that window prior to using the File > Export > XML command. If that still causes issue then you might try using an earlier FCP XML version.
    Hope it helps

  • OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

    Exporting a 93min 1920x1080 HD timeline to OMF
    5 second handles tried 2 second handles as well.
    OMF won't export out of final cut pro. Get error message there is a 2 gb limit.
    Final cut 6.0.6
    Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

    Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
    Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
    You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

  • How to up the DPI on exported images from Final Cut

    Is there a way to export stills from Final Cut that are 300 DPI, I think they are exporting at 72 DPI? 
    Catherine

    DPI is a measure of density of pixels. It tells us nothing about the printed size of the image (width in inches x height in inches)
    A 1200 x 900 image @ 300 dpi yields a 4" x 3" image when printed.
    That same size (in pixels) image printed at 100 dpi will yield a 12" x 9" print.
    The number of picture elements (pixels) is exactly the same between the two prints but the one in 100dpi image are 3x larger - which will yield a softer image when viewed from the same distance as the 4"x3" 300dpi image.
    However, if you view the 300dpi 4"x3" print from 2' away and view the 100dpi 12"x9" print from 6' away - they will appear the same.
    Discussions of finding meaning in DPI is difficult without knowing how the final will be viewed.
    fwiw - I've made poster size prints at 75 dpi that looked just fine when viewed from 10-12'.

  • Quicktime Export Components in Final Cut Server

    Our company has purchased a number of Elgato h264 encoders and we're loving them. They reduce our h264 compression times on average from 15-20 mins down to 2-3 mins. It usually compresses our videos faster than real time. Which as a news organization is great for us. These encoders work great on all our Macbook Pros & Mac Pro systems. I've now installed one onto our final cut server and set up a custom compressor setting. Under the 'encoder' tab the file format had to be set to "Quicktime Export Components" instead of "Quicktime Movie" to use the Elgato. And it works great when I send a single file threw compressor. BUT I can't get this custom preset to show up or work inside Final Cut Server. I have other custom settings that do show up and work (but they are all "Quicktime Movie" file formats). I've rebooted multiple times and looked under multiple Responses transcode settings, but the new one I've created to use the Elgato never shows up.
    Is it possible to use Quicktime Export Components in Final Cut Server?
    I couldn't find any mention of this in the FCS admin manual or any other posts in the forums regarding this.

    I have seen on MediaSilo.com a tip to get Elgato H.264 working with Compressor, but I can't seem to be able to find it. Basically, the trick was to create a duplicate setting in Compressor that Final Cut Server is able to read ( not as Quicktime Export Component), associate it with a Final Cut Server's compression setting and later reassign that setting in Compressor to Elgato.
    I will keep diggin' for this tip, it was actually a screen recording.

  • Exporting to motion from final cut pro

    I have a anamorfic DV sequence in final cut pro. When ever I slow down a clip in the sequence or add a video filter and then export to MOtion it sends it without iits effects or speed changes.

    yes, that is correct. there is a section in the motion manual devoted to integration with fcp. on page 960 of the pdf manual it states, "When exporting to Motion, Final Cut Pro does not export properties omitted from the
    list above, such as filters, generators, and transitions. Time remapping and speed
    changes also are not exported."
