Exporting to motion...weird problem

Hi guys
Sorry if my terminology is a little off..i'm new to all this.
I am doing wedding. Some of the guests do a dance ---they came up with a silly name for their troop..so i thought i'd freeze frame just as someone took a flash photo of the group- i'd use that still to put their name up using motion. I took a freeze frame of them as the flash went off. They were in poor light - so this freeze frame is bright white....i then Imported 5 seconds of that freeze frame into my timeline...put and in an and out of it...right clicked - "send to motion". When i do that it opens in motion but the flash is gone from the photo/frame. Also in the FCP timeline the freeze frame loses the flash and wants to be re-rendered? Does anyone know why FCP/motion is taking the flash from my freeze frame?
Thanks
Ross

the electronic flash only lasts about 1/10,000 second. You're seeing the field before or after the flash going off, 1/60 second away form the flash, an eternity. Try the deinterlace filter but set it to blend fields. Er, I'm not at my FCP machine right now, I think that's the filter you want.
Why are you going to Motion? Try sending a 10 second clip to Motion, about 5 seconds before the flash and 5 seconds after. Then use Motion's retiming capabilities to do the freeze. You'll need some patience with the manual.

CS4 Export: Motion Blur problem.

Hi,
I'm having problems exporting a bunch of sequences to h264. Source files are MPEG2, sequence is DV, export is h264 through Adobe Media Encoder. For some reason, the exported video has weird motion blur, but that effect is not added to the videos. All I did was level the audio and export. What could be wrong? Known bug, perhaps?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Had the same problem as well. Did some experiment on it and managed to solve it on CS4.
Select entire clip in the timeline
Right click on the clips and uncheck "Frame Blend"
Then export it.
It works for me... hope it does for u too.
Cheers

My new iMac with FCPX crashes when rendering complex templates and crashes when exporting with Motion 5

My new iMac with FCPX crashes when rendering complex templates and crashes when exporting with Motion 5
Using Motion 5.0.6 and Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 on New iMac (December 2012) Mountain Lion,
Intel Core i7 quad-core a 3,4GHz, Turbo Boost fino a 3,9GHz

During the rendering of complex FCPX mac crashes and I have to force a restart.
I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP 7.
I exported (with current settings) from Motion 5 now i can't view my movie with QT Player an FCP
won't recognize it.
That's the message I get ?
I'm running Mac OSX but still on FCP 7 (upgrading to FCP X is NOT an option)
Thanks a lot for any sugestions

Thanks TOny
i think it was just a problem during the export. i tried a second time and it just worked fine

Cant save or save as or export in motion 3!!!

this ***** I cant save or save as or export in motion 3!!! what is the deal anyone know how to fix this problem???

WOW!! Thanks so much, I've been banging my head against the wall for several days now thinking, was it something I did, reinstalling like five times, getting chewed at by my supervisor because the project wasn't completed, etc.... and all along it was Shapeshifter. I was about to call it quits and do the project in after effects, but thanks to your post I can still streamline the motion graphics portion of the project with FCP and Motion. Thanks again, you really saved me!!

No export form Motion

Hi - reaching critical point on a project and typicall the problkems are kicking in. I can't seem to export from Motion having had no problems up to this point. I'm working in Motion 3.0.2 on Leopard with a title sequence that uses PSD files.
When I tyr to export, it barelt dos the first frame, stops exporting and produces a blank 8kb quicktime, regardless of codec / export setting.
I went through compressor as a last measure and this seemed to work ok, but is certainly not my first choice as I would like to keep the Motion blur setting which as far as I am aware is only available when exporting directly from Motion. That, and it SHOULD all work fine!
Any ideas out there??
Many thanks,
Dave

hi,
I have a few issues with exporting from motion as well. The thing that always seems to work for me is to import the motion file into fcp and export from there. Not aware if the blur is retained or not. Pretty stoopid if not.

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.

Why "Export Error Codec Initialization Problem!" when I export using Adobe Media Encorder for FLV?

I get "Export Error - Codec Initialization Problem!" when I try to export a project using Adobe Media Encoder as a Macromeida Flash Video. Premiere Pro 2.0 goes through the rendering process but no file is created; just the Export Error message. What does this mean, and what do I need to do to export a project as a FLV file?
Thanks.

Sounds weird... You could try the standard fix for general unexplained behaviour in a document; export it to idml, open that, save as an Indesign file and try exporting again. If that doesn't work try a few different presets, like smallest file size. If that doesn't work try opening your image in Photoshop, resaving as a psd, placing that (delete your old one) and see if that helps. Obviously do this on a copy....

Weird problem in alv

friends,
i have this weird problem, i am using the below code,
the code is working fine in the debugging, but when run it is only showing the topofpage, which contains all the input parameters, there are several input parametrs, so it takes more than a page,
where-in if i comment out the EVE[] in the alv mode,
it is finely showing the display, but the input parameters, which constitute the topofpage, is not displayed,
any clues please.
thank you.

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.

No Export to Motion Option in FCP

I've got a problem.
I'm trying to get this function to work... Export to Motion. I have FCP 5 (5.0.4), and Motion 2 (2.0.1) ... I upgraded a year or so ago from individual titles to the Studio Upgrade. I just can get the Export to Motion (even to show up/grey out...nothing) as an option in File>Export>Export to Motion. It just is not there. Nothing.
Any ideas? Update Preferences? Anyone? Anyone?
Thanks,Phil

Welcome to the forum trourneestudio!
Probably not there in anyone's version of the software. Control click on a clip or set of clips in the Timeline window, and select Send to... that's where the command is!

Exporting to motion

I'm working on my 1st project in HDV & i've run into a problem. I've sent some of my clips to motion to add titles & when they return I loose my 1 sec cross fades can't get any longer than 2/10 sec no matter what i try also on some clips I loose audio sync. with no red warning boxes. A 2nd question is it easyer to edit in apple intermediate code over HDV?
power mac G5 dual 2.0ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.5 gigibyte ram

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."

FCP5 export to Motion & back

Can anyone help.
Error. File Error : 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.
I select one clip and export to motion, don't embed content so I can have an overlay of motion content for TV add.
If I embed content that’s fine but can move over lay around in FCP.
It will work for one clip but not others.
I got to the stage where I exported clip but didn't launch motion or embed content. just to see if motion was messing things up. then tried to import and got same error.

I have seen this problem fixed by re-installing Motion. Before you do that, make sure you've run the software updates. See this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1902971&#1902971

Weird problem with files copied to PC - No Audio

I have a weird problem; perhaps someone knows the answer.
Using Quicktime Pro (latest version), I copied a file and replaced the audio with a new track, then saved it. It plays fine on my mac, plays fine on my networked PC, +as long as I play the file directly from the mac hard drive.+
Now - when I +copy the file to the PC hard drive+ and open it, the audio is gone.
Also, when I upload the video to my website and try to play it, the audio is gone.
Anybody have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problem. I have a web music video I added a logo to on my Mac.It sounds and plays perfectly on my Mac, but a PC will not play it. If I export to a different file type, there is no audio (even on my Mac). It is showing an AAC codec in my .mov file. Any ideas?

Cannot export a Motion JPEG A quicktime

I'm working with FCP v 6.0.2 and Compressor v3.0.2. I am unable to export quicktimes in the MJPEGA codec. I currently have verison 7.4.1 of quicktime. Is this something new to v7.4?

Hi There
I have this exact same problem now I have updated my final cut to the latest version hoping that it would fix some bugs, instead creating new ones. As you seem to have fixed it, would you mind letting me know how its possible to get back the export to motion jpeg A within final cut?
Thanks in advance

Export to PDF spacing problems w Optima

I’m helping a friend troubleshoot a really weird problem exporting to PDF from InDesign. In one text block, the tracking/kerning is completely crazy. We’ve made sure that the font is a current version (font version 2.020). Wildly different from the ID document (looks as expected) and PDF (the word “Yellowstone” looks like “Yellows tone”)
Somehow, I managed to fix the problem in one version of the file he gave me for testing. Some combination of: setting a style rule, setting the kerning to Optical, removing local style overrides, choosing a different printer before exporting the PDF, or maybe something I forgot I had done messing around trying to figure it out. It’s driving us crazy, it’s for a multi-hundred page catalog. Also, using the Mac OS X PDF workflow or printing to PS and Distilling don’t have the problem, but either workaround is unappealing due to the workflow for output (includes “China” as part of the process).
Other things that will fix it include copying all the blocks on the bogus page and pasting them into a new document. I have even run “diff” on the idml exports (side note, you can open them with an archive expanding tool, such as The Unarchiver, they turn into folders) and don’t really see huge differences. I have exported the broken docs as idml and imported them, but that alone is not enough.

How are you viewing the PDF?
