FCP opening anamorphic motion project files as 4:3

I have a 720x480 anamorphic motion template which I need to place in a 720x480 anamorphic FCP sequence. FCP is automatically distorting the template, when I open it in the viewer (prior to dropping it into the timeline). It looks 4:3.
When I drop it in the timeline, it is squished. The distort value is 33%. Anamorphic is unchecked in the browser. I know how to fix it once it's already in the sequence, but seeing as I have several hundred of these templates to use, I'd prefer to have FCP open it correctly.
It does the same thing with motion project files, not just the templates.
Anyone know a way to correct this in FCP?

Ok, but for my workflow, I need to use motion templates, not project files. There is no way to correct this in the browser for a template. I need it to just come in 16:9.
If I want SD footage in a 16:9 format (pillarboxed) what size do I make the sequence? Should it be some custom size that is not anamorphic, yet still much wider than tall?
I need to standardize all my sequences (whether they are 16:9 footage or not), so that I can use one set of motion templates, which will be 16:9. Should the motion templates then be created in this same custom size?

Anamorphic motion project file into FCP

I created a 16:9 project in motion - 720x480, pixel aspect ratio NTSC D1/DV anamorphic. When I bring it into FCP I want it to fill the screen. I tried the following sequence settings with the following results:
720x480 NTSC CCIR 601 anamorphic 16:9 - I got a pillarbox
640x480 NTSC CCIR 601 anamorphic 16:9 - narrower pillarbox
720x540 NTSC CCIR 601 anamorphic 16:9 - windowbox
I know if I check anamorphic in the browser I can get it to fit, but what about when it is a motion template? It doesn't appear in the browser.

Thanks. I still find myself having to go into motion and delete the distort settings. Can you confirm my workflow? I'm creating approximately 400 templates, so I'd like to do this correctly the first time (actually the tenth).
I would like to create 16:9 templates which can be used with either 16:9 or 4:3 footage in a FCP timeline. Point being, I don't want to create 400 16:9 templates, and 400 4:3 templates. My plan is to use 16:9 sequences for everything and then letterbox it in DVDSP, so that it will show up either way.
I have fades, or wipes to black at the end of every template, so I don't have to worry about odd dissolves into mismatched frame sizes.
Is there a custom sequence setting I should be using in FCP to get around having to click anamorphic every time? I would like to be able to simply drop in the motion template without any further tweaking.

•TIP - Open Motion Project File In QT Pro

Not sure if everyone already knows this but you can open a motion project file in QT Pro.
For this one project I had to export QT files from Motion. It was taking forever and was playing around and discovered that if you open the motion file from QT player and did an export it was much faster.
The export from motion took 54 min...when using the QT method it took 5 min.
Why?
Who cares, it was faster and looked great.
If you already know this trick..great, if you dont I suggest giving it a try if you need a faster solution.
Cheers!

I've tried that. I think there might be a bug in QT Pro (PC) or for some reason my QT Pro can't handle an .ac3 file. I just upgraded QT Pro to 7.5.5 and now I get different behavior. Basically, I'm getting no audio at all even though I've chosen "Add to Movie" properly. I think the problem might be that QT Pro isn't able to recognize my .ac3 file. If I playback the .ac3 file in QT by itself, I don't hear anything at all. I don't have a 5.1 sound card in my computer, but shouldn't I at least be able to hear two channels? Do I need anything special installed (hardware or software codecs) to playback an .ac3 file with QT Pro?

Logic crashes when trying to open a Garageband project file

Hey guys,
Since discovering that software instrument apple loops (SIAL) do NOT include the effects/sends when they are imported into logic, a discussion on here mentioned that when opened in Garageband, the effects are included. The suggestion was that by opening a garageband project in logic, the effects/sends would all be imported into logic from garage band.
This worked fine for a couple of software instruments such as '80's Dance Bass Synth' but strangely every time i try to open a garageband project file in logic with any of the software instrument loops 'Classic Rock Steel' or 'Southern Rock Guitar' logic crashes trying to open it. It usually loads up until an effect such as channel eq, platinumverb, or ducker and then stops loading and freezes.
It is really odd that it seems to be related to those guitar loops. So i was wondering if anyone has a fix, or if someone could spare a minute of their time and make a garageband project with a 'Southern Rock Guitar 2' software loop and try to open this project file in Logic - just to see if it is a problem with my logic, or if it is the same for everybody.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
Nick.

Cannot open an iMovie project file

I can no longer open an iMovie project file from my external hard drive. Other iMovie projects on the hard drive can be opened, but not my main project. I've transfered it back to my MacBook Pro and then tried importing it into a new project, but I get an error -43 message about Quicktime not able to 'parse' the file. I have also tried Lennart Thelander's "File Fixer" but this still does not open the file. File icon and file size (39.02GB) seem to be the same as when the file could be opened. Is there a way to recover this file?
Merci

iMovie doesn't support importing one iMovie project to another. When we try, we get exactly the error you quoted.
You can, however, import all the Timeline video and audio as a single clip to a new project. Or you can drag files from the Media folder of the project to the Timeline of a NEW project.
In the Finder, Control-click on the project icon and choose Show Package Contents from the popUp menu. You'll see the movie "Timeline Movie.mov" in the window that opens. You want to import that movie to a new project, or import selected files in the Media folder.
To import, drag the file to the Timeline of a NEW iMovie project. If importing the Timeline Movie, everything on the Timeline of the original project will arrive as a single clip in the new project.
If the project failed on the external drive, it may be because the disk does not use the disk format required by iMovie. Use Disk Utility to check the disk format, which must be "Mac OS Extended". If it's not that format, use Disk Utility to reformat the drive. (Which will erase all the files on the drive, so make backups.)

Motion crashing upon open of certain project files (fine otherwise)

I am a fair newbie to Motion and am working through the Apple Pro training book (Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Studio 2). All included project files open fine on my Mac Pro, (leading me to think the project files are fine) but crash Motion on the iMac I'm using. Projects I create from scratch open with no problem on the iMac.
Both Mac's are using the latest OS and application updates.
Below is a copy of the crash report for the crashed thread. Any ideas are gratly appreciated.

HELP! Opening INTEL MacPro project file on G5 Quad " General Error " ??

Im desparate !
I need to online an edit to digibeta on a quad G5 - problem is the offline edit was done on a MAC pro Intel & the capture scratch is on an ext lacie.
When I open up the same project file on the G5 quad - im getting " GENRAL ERROR " ??
Is there an issue with Intel project files opening on G5's?
I should ( in theory ) be able to hook up my ext lacie to the G5 & load in the project file I saved from the Intel & the edit should open as it did on the intel - right ? unless im missing something ?
I have all the same plugins on both macs - both are up to date in OS's & FCP's Versions - please help - I need to online this for Monday when the client is picking up the digibeta.
My setup at the studio is G5 quad with all the cards ( blackmagic etc drivers ) installed & hooked up to the server plus digibeta deck are all ready to go but the edit was done in another location on an Intel mac pro - it would be a nightmare to try & get an intel over to the studio & swap over all the cards etc at this late stage ... any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers

mac pro 2.66 dual core intel xeon Mac OS X (10.4.8)
mac pro 2.66 dual core intel xeon Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Sorry - on the G5 setup the same capture scratch with all the media is on the server.
Basically - The edit was started on the G5 & the offline dv pal media was on the server capture scratch. We then copied the same capture scratch & all necessary folders to a lacie drive so we could finish off the edit on the intel mac pro.
The project loaded up fine on the mac pro - we finished the edit & saved the project file.
The project file was then sent to the studio & we were hoping it would load up fine & just link back to the same media in the capture scratch on the server.
all off the media is offline dv pal - at this stage - I want to eventually load up the edit as it did on the intel - then online to the digibeta tapes ( but Im not worried about the online just yet - as I need to get the offline edit opened at the very least. I tell you you'd be stopping a heart attack if you shed some light on at least opening the project on the G5 as it did on the Intel.

Prelude takes a long time to open a (new) project file

Hi,
I'm trying out Prelude, and I've created a new project and ingested (via link) about 20 hours of Canon XF footage in about 1000 files from an internal hard drive. All the media loaded correctly and all the audio peak files were generated.
When I close and reopen Prelude and try to open that project, the "loading project" window pops up, the progress bar proceeds to completion over a few seconds, and the window goes away. The issue is that Prelude is then unresponsive for the next ten or fifteen minutes! I can see the entire interface, but nothing responds. I can see the clips listed, but their thumbnails are not loaded. Windows System Monitor tells me Prelude is actively using CPU and accessing the disk. After 10-15 minutes, the thumbnails appear and I'm able to use Prelude, but this seems like a LONG time to load a not-so-big project on a pretty new system. Is this normal?
My system has one of the new i7-4770k processors, 16 GB of RAM, a Samsung 840 SSD for the system drive, and an internal Seagate 3TB 7200 RPM drive as the media drive for this project, so I would expect loading to be pretty snappy. While Prelude is unresponsive, system monitor shows it using 15-20% CPU, 11 GB of RAM, and only 5-10 MB/s disk access. I've tried recreating the project file from scratch several times, with the same result every time.
Is this wait time normal? Is there any way I can speed it up?
If it's still loading, it seems like it should provide some feedback about that, too.

Hi Michael,
I tested out Prelude with approximately half of the same footage of my
larger project. It still had a brief unresponsive period but,
interestingly, the relationship to the amount of footage didn't seem to be
linear. Whereas a project with all the footage takes 10 minutes, this one
only took about a minute.
I should also point out that, although this is all Canon XF footage and all
the media is in numbered subdirectories with metadata like on the card,
they are not contained within the "CLIPS001" directory that your Canon XF
importer uses to identify XF media. Therefore, when I import them, the
import dialog doesn't identify the media directories as such. I don't know
whether that makes a difference, just wanted to try to help narrow it down
in any way I can.
Hope that helps. Will you update me when you have something?
Thanks.

Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

Hello...
I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
Here was my process in a nutshell:
~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
as often throughout this process.)
~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
...Rae

Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

Trouble opening a managed project file on a PC

Hi all!
So I have encountered a really weird problem that's been driving me bonkers lately. I'm working on a comedy web series and have been getting managed timelines from the editor to do some adjustments, grading and sound with. The first episode went fine but for some reason the next two aren't relinking properly.
They have to video tracks, one for DSLR footage and then a track above that has footage from a Atmos Ninja Blade that they've synced up. The blade footage doesn't relink on these new project files. They come into the timeline with the grey bars on them denoting missing frames or some such, but the clips are in the bins and the footage is there. It's like all the ins and outs are getting disregarded.
Now, oddly enough, this only happens on my PC (my main station). It does NOT happen on my macbook pro. Everything relinks fine there.
Can anyone shed some light on what's going on? I need to work on my main station but if I can avoid having to go in and reset each clip of Blade footage, I would LOVE that.
Thanks!

follow-up: I have seen tips online about making sure to move the "media" part of the project as well as the project itself. It's strange though: there is no "media" here! I go to the movies folder, and there's the little project icon, and no associated "media". I understand the point: you need the project and all of its components in order to open and work on the project, but with iMovie 7, where does the "media" go when the project is saved?? I'm desperate here.

Ok now I can open the motion projects but I can't save them

Hi
I followed the steps specified at the "famous" trick http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3061 and now I can open the motion files. The bad news are that now I can't save them wich means that I find myself at almost the same point that at the beginning of the issue. I tried too installing the QuickTime 7 but nothing...
Did any one solve the problem completily using that trick? Am I doing anything wrong with the steps maybe?
Thank you

Hi again!
I found the solution! Yes. I have to admit that the trick was ok!!! But I thought it wasn´t because I opened files from a folder that I had been administrating with the user account before and then for any reason when I changed to the Administrator account Motion didn't allow me to save any files into this folder.
¿Does it make sense at all?
Thank you any way Patrick

FCP doesn't recognize Motion project file

I've almost completed the lessons in the Apple Pro Training Series "Motion".
When I get to the last lesson and try to import my motion file into Final Cut HD - all motion files are greyed out and not available for import.
What do I need to do to be able to import Motion files into FCP?
Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 512 MB DDR SDRAM

If you only have the trial version of Motion, it does
not support integration.
Do you have the full version?
I am having the same problem with a registered FCP Studio suite. Greyed out .motn files on the import requester.
When I change the "Import File" requester selection to All Files and select a .motn file, I get the error message "File Error: 1 files(s) not recognized, assess denied, 1 unknown."
I have tried re-registering, deleting FCP prefs, repairing permissions, running cron scripts, re-booting.
No good so far.
This is on a two day old, format and complete fresh install partition.
OS 10.4.6, QT 7.0.4, FCP 5.0.4, Motion 2.0.1
G5 Dual 2.0, 5.5GB RAM, 2TB RAID Mac OS X (10.4.5) FCP5 Suite, CineWave, Boris, blah, blah ...

Error when opening a motion project back in final cut

When I create a motion file and try to open it back up in final cut it gives me an error message, "File Error. 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
It just started doing this. What does this mean?

After effects cs 5.5 not responding when I open up a project file

I was recently working on an intro for a youtube channel and my project had been running smoothly the night before. But now all of a sudden I open it up today and it starts not responding when I try and open the file. It is running on a mac with 8 GB of memory and a 2.1 GHz intel i7 processor, I have no idea what's happening and I really need help. Thank you for your time.

I can understand that my info was vague, but I am as well a novice in after effects. I have a good bit of experience with it, but not a professional standard. I have 1 video file of average length, a photoshop file, and a word layer, no other effects really. My comp size is 1280 by 720, and I don't know what other info I could give. My other projects run fine, it seems to just be this one now that you mention it. Should I try starting a new project and just working off of that? I can understand that you need to know a lot more, but I was also just asking a general question because I felt that it might be common issue of a setting that I may have had to change, so I'm sorry my info was so vague, but that was my reasoning. I don't believe that saving and backups are my problem, but if you believe it's a means to the solution then by all means please justify that. Thank your for your time and help.
