Exporting from Motion Loads Into Memory

I completed a slideshow in Motion, and am trying to export it out for a DVD.
First I tried exporting from Motion to DV NTSC format, and after watching my memory & CPU, it appears that Motion is loading the project into memory for export.
So I quit the process, quit Motion, loaded the Motion project file into compressor, and submitted a job to the Batch monitor to compress from my Motion project to DVD.
The process is taking 5 hours for a 10 minute piece. The CPU's are running at around 10% and my memory is full? I was hoping compressor would not load the project into memory and instead use the CPU to render.
I suspect my slow down is from the project paging in and out of memory to compress?
Does anyone know how to force compressor to use CPU for rendering and not load a Motion Project FIle into memory?
Thank you.

I do slideshows regularly. I render out of Motion to DV. Clean, fast, slick.
I pull that DV movie file into DVDSP (if I'm going that direction) and let the defaults to their job. Clean, fast, predictable results. Your output efficiency depends on your image sizes and effects and nesting so I carefully reduce the size of my stills, preplan nests, and prerender/reimport where possible
I don't see where you are having a problem unless you are simply misinformed. You must render out of Motion or you must render the .motn project file from within another app like FCP but it's going to be processed in exactly the same way as if you have rendered out of Motion.
You CAN set up Quemaster to run batces using all of your Mac's cores as separate rendering engines but that gains you nothing in Motion projects, usually, since you only have one graphic card. And Quemaster, despite a few success stories on that forum, remains a cruel joke.

  • Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

    I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Sebastian

    The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

  • How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi?

    How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi? There is probably a trivial, easy way to get this info, but I have not yet found it!  Thanks..

    Or if you want to grab all the paths programatically, try the attached VI.
    Open the top level that you want all the paths from and close all others, then open the
    attached and run it. It will return an array of all the VIs that the VI
    in question uses, including vi.lib VIs. You can filter these as well if
    you like.

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

  • Trouble Exporting from Motion

    I've been having problems exporting my Motion Projects out of Motion. I've been working on a 30sec spot 100% animated (no 3D), the project is set for DVDCPRO HD 1080i60 and I just cant get it out properly.
    Fades that worked in the project are missing in the exported file, pictures somehow become corrupted/distorted in the exported file, and I have also noticed the top bar in leopard often turns partially or completely black after export, and motion crashes soon afterwards.
    When exporting from motion I notice my processors aren't being used much. I have tired dropping the motion project directly into compressor but I get even more errors and strange green distortion on the exported file.
    It takes about an hour and a half to export the 30 sec spot under maximum settings, (motion blur, frame blending, and all that) and I have an ATI RadeonX1900 with 512 VRAM.
    Is my computer to underpowered, or my graphics card, or both? Suggestions please?

    Hope you get some better advice soon. Meantime, try to copy and then paste some layers into independent projects, render them out as self-contained movies. See what happens to them. What you want to try to do is separate out pieces you can pre-render and then bring back in as movies. This eliminates tons of layers processing and might clear up some issues. Also helps you isolate issues with possibly corrupt media.
    Can't help you on the Leopard stuff. We've had dozens of Motion/leopard conflicts posted over the last several months.

  • Export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro?

    Is it possible to export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro? If not, what is the preferred file format because my exported quicktime files come up as "incompatible format" when I try to add them into my DVD project. Any help is appreciated.

    You need to encode audio as well from Compressor. You'll have 2 files - audio and video.
    Here's a tutorial:

  • Why does [i]entire[/i] rt.jar get loaded into memory?

    We're developing under JDK 1.4-beta2 and are close to releasing to in-house use of our application. One thing noticed is that the entire rt.jar and other jars get loaded into memory equalling ~45MB !! I am amazed if this is 'normal' behaviour. Are we missing some tweak or option grossly obvious or well known?
    Even a simple Hello World test program loads in the entire rt.jar.

  • Prevent data from being loaded into certain dimensions

    Is there any way to prevent data from being loaded into certain dimensions? For example, if I have 2 dimensions: Scenario and Date, I only want a given Scenario to accept data in certain date ranges.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I'll assume you mean by load rules. If you are talking about sending data from Excel, then the first one only is the answer.
    There are two ways I can think of doing this.
    1. create filters with write access to certain intersections and use an Id associated to that filter to load the data
    2. Use selection/rejection criteria in the load rule to limit what can be loaded
    As a bonus
    3. If you are using SQL interface loads, set up a table with what data is allowed to be leded.

  • Help! Help! Help! Why is DPV and LACS not loading into memory ?

    Postalsoft Desktop Mailer - load into memory is checked and it does not load into memory,
    I tried it unchecked and it is the same speed.
    How do I fix this problem?????

    Tim,
    Please make sure to post any "classic Firstlogic software" questions under the Business Objects Enterprise Information Management (EIM) forum and you will get a much faster response.  Also you can log a case for support by going to the Help and Support tab on the SAP website, then click on Report A Product Error to log a case for support.  Just make sure to choose BOJ-EIM-COM for the component when logging a case for DeskTop Mailer or Business Edition. 
    Steve is correct.... we are aware of the slow speed issue with address correction when using DPV and LACS in DeskTop Mailer and Business Edition 7.90.  Rev 4 should be out by the end of this week.  This will correct the speed issue.  Please make sure to have the auto update option turned on in the software so you get this update.
    Thanks,

  • Why does LabVIEW sometimes hang when DLL loads into memory?

    I'm calling a third party DLL from LabVIEW 2010.  LV occassionally hangs (Not Responding) when either loading the DLL into memory or when closing my main VI.  When it doesn't hang, it communicates with the DLL seamlessly.  When I try to build an Application (exe), LV always hangs during the build at the point that it is saving the main VI (the scroll on the builder moves until it says "Saving main.vi").  Any insight into what needs to be done to the DLL (or VI) to resolve this issue?

    What does the DLL do? One cause of this could be to try to load/unload other DLLs in PROCESS_ATTACH or PROCESS_DETACH of DLLMain. Microsoft has in many places said that doing this is highly unsafe and asking for all kinds of troubles, since the DLL loading is not fully reentrant.
    Another possibility would be incorporation of ActiveX components that use some form of RPC mechanisme to communicate with out of process ActiveX/OLE components. The necessary RPC proxy hooks into the calling processes message loop and that is a delicate piece of code in LabVIEW. Even when the DLL does not use ActiveX itself, it might employ some message hooking on its own and mess up things in a way that Windows and/or LabVIEW get confused.

  • Export from Motion/Aspect ratio in Quicktime

    I have created my first HDV (1080i60) graphic in M3. When I export as a quicktime movie, the preview that M3 generates at the end of the export looks perfect - when I open that movie in Quicktime, the whole thing is squished together. I assume this has to do with pixel aspect ratio - I just can't figure out where the fix is here because the pixel aspect is obviously set correctly in my Motion project (1.33) Is there a setting in quicktime that I am missing that is causing the playback of my Motion animation to appear squeezed?

    Yeah, sorry, I should've included that the inspector in Quicktime says that both the "Normal" and "Current" sizes are 1440x1080. This is no huuuuggggeee deal, I just wanted to show some people the graphic using just quicktime. I eventually am going to import this into an FCP sequence, but I would like to have this portable version to show on quicktime.
    +Quicktime maybe doesnt see this and is showing it at the correct pixel size without adjustment+
    Not sure what that comment means - the correct pixel aspect is the one coming from Motion (1.33) Is there really no way to just bring this project into quicktime and play it properly - without looking squeezed? I feel like I should be able to find some preference in quicktime that lets me switch from viewing square pixels to viewing anamorphic pixels.
    Thanks a bunch Adam.

  • Exporting from Motion as MPEG 2 - won't happen - please help!

    I have a 3 minute Motion sequence that I can't export in Compressor - it takes over 5 hours to get halfway through the process. It looks as though Compressor has crashed, it goes so slow.
    Basically I need to make a DVD in DVDSP, urgently. I exported as an H264 Quicktime, which was a breeze, but that comes up as incompatible format when I import this asset into DVDSP.
    What to do? Another CODEC? What MPEG 2 setting might work in Compressor?

    Urgent?
    Your workflow is way out of whack, there's no need to over-resolve your output format which is SD MPGE2. You can export out of Motion using any codec that doesn't create a file with larger specifications than are necessary, you'd just be wasting all of your time and effort.
    You can be working in a Motion project that has the same frame specs as MPEG2 or just plain ol' DV.
    You export out of Motion and then put that movie into Compressor to do your MPEG2 but "urgent" is the key term here. Just put the exported Motion movie into DVDSP and let DVDSP do the encode for you, saves a bit of effort, not really any time.
