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?

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."

  • 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.

    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

  • Exporting from Motion 5

    when I try to export my motion project the export options are all greyed out
    can someone pelase advice?

    Try using the free app "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com) to trash Motion's pref files.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Export in Motion vs. Compressor 2.1

    My project takes about 2 minutes to render out directly from Motion, but compressor says its going to take 3 hours?
    I know the compressor speed issue was a big deal for a while there, but I never noticed anything like this.
    I am trying to render out to Pixlet video at 640 x 480.
    My timeline contains an animation codec movie with alpha transparency and a few graphic layers...with audio (3 tracks)..
    When I export using motion 2 it takes about 2 minutes...if I say go from compressor, then go over to compressor and hit submit...it takes forever to start, then it crawls and I quit...
    I have 24 sequences each of the same length etc...would love a batch, but it will just be faster to do this one by hand I guess???

    You might try Batch Export from FCP...

  • 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!

  • Export slow motion from my 5s.

    Hi there. I would know how to export slow-motion videos from my phone 5s to my computer without losing any quality.

    I wouldn't change applications against a deadline.
    Slow motion is not an easy effect to do in post unless you shot more frames per second than you needed for standard speed. Making 30 frames a second into 60 frames requires each frame to be printed twice. What were your expectations or what have your tried before?
    Especially with HDV, which starts out so heavily compressed, by the time it gets slomo'd and transcoded back to MPEG2 again, yeah, I imagine it's gonna look pretty bad. You can obtain some expensive software to do the optical flow pixel interpretation without buying FCS2 but that's up to your client's needs for smooth slow motion. Rendering optical flow, we've heard, takes for freakin' ever, even on the best machines.
    Some HDV users will chime in over the next few hours or days with more helpful advice.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.
