FCP X / Motion 5 Drop Zone Video Freeze Frames Only!

Hmmm, well, I've followed the other discussions here regarding what appears to be an on-going issue with videos not playing (freeze frame only - usually the first frame of the clip) in a Drop Zone. I'm using the latest versions of both FCP X (10.1.1) and Motion 5 (5.1). I created a video generator in Motion with 15 drop zones for use in an open for a project I just started on. These drop zones are sliding left and right in three bands across the canvas. I can't get any of them to display moving video. I've used drop zones before and had some success with getting video clips to play in them, but in this case I'm batting zero.
Has anyone found a way around this problem? I may just import the videos into Motion and render them there since this open more than likely won't ever be used for any other project; nevertheless, I'd like to be able to use the Motion 5 template as it was designed to be used.
Thanks.

The good news, Russ, is that I've made some progress! To say that using Drop Zones can be a bit quirky is an understatement! Nevertheless, your Pro Res hint seems to have fixed my issue. I've been recutting the clips from the master archived files and saving them as Pro Res 422. The file size is considerably larger that the H.264 files, but since it works I guess I won't argue that point! :-)
I need to do a bit more investigation of this next point, but it also seems as if I need to move a frame or three into the clip before inserting it into the drop zone. I had just been taking the clip and dumping it in as is. When doing that I noticed that in some cases the clip either didn't play (freeze frame) or it started at some random (or at least what seemed to be random) location within the clip. However, since I moved the start point in 2 or 3 frames (end point doesn't seem to matter) so far, at least, the clip plays every time and starts from the proper point.
I don't know if this mattered or not, but I completely deleted the library with the project and event that I was originally trying to edit to. Since it wasn't working anyway there is nothing lost and I felt it was worth starting the project "fresh", so to speak.
So far I've only re-clipped and inserted 5 of the 15 drop zone videos but for now, at least, they are all working!
Thanks again for your help and suggestions.

Drop Zone Video Preview

I've gone into settings and changed the timeframe for motion but the drop zone video still plays 30 secs, but I only want it to play for 5 seconds, does anyone know what I'm missing.
Thanks

Hi
It is at least possibly to use some buttons like this - But to get this right I had to make special button movies from the big original movie.
My problem started when I used the original movie that I could not go back far enough for the last buttons and not precise enough either - so by making the small button movies I got 100% control.

Motion drop zones not behaving

I have drop zones on a canvas x 4.
I have made this "Fit" setting.
The drop zones are not all the size of the footage for example one of them is really tall but thin.
When I place it in the fcp timeline the drop zones shrink to accomadate the footage.
Shouldnt the footage fill the drop zone wih the edges of the footage that don't fit being cut out?
I have tried "stretch" as a drop zone setiing and it distorts the aspect ratio of the footage. Centre looks no good either.
Can anyone help?

"Fit" means that the footage will be shrunk so that it completely fits inside the dropzone. This means that if the aspect ratio does not match, it will basically either letterbox or pillar box the footage.

Motion 5 / FCP X - Frustrating Drop Zones

I've been (trying) to use Drop Zones lately on a number of projects and while I've been able to kludge things here and there to get them to work properly, they sure have frustrated me. The projects I'm working on need snippets of properly timed video floating around the screen, usually within the opening sequence for the video. The trouble is I've never been able to really figure out the timing for these things.
1) Initially, the logical thought was (for me, at least) to set at least an in point for the video before dropping it into the Drop Zone in FCP X. That certainly didn't work because it appeared as though FCP X totally ignored my clip's in point. I wanted that clip video to start exactly at the beginning of that drop zone.
2) Since that didn't work I did some Internet research and someone posted that Drop Zones ignore clip in points. They said that when selecting the clip for the drop zone to place the cursor on the exact frame where you want the video to start before applying it to the Drop Zone. Well, that works to an extent.
Here's what I found after doing some experimentation in both Motion 5 and FCP X (latest versions of each). First, I created a video with timecode in it so that I could accurately track where the video really started on the first frame of the individual Drop Zone. The video starts with 10 seconds of color bars followed by 5 minutes of burned in timecode, then another 10 seconds of color bars. I created a simple Motion Generator with four Drop Zones - upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right. Each Drop Zone was placed exactly 10 seconds apart. So, for example:
For the first test I placed each Drop Zone within one Group in Motion. Drop Zones start at the following timecode for each location as follows:
UL: 00:00:00:00
LL: 00:00:10:00
UR: 00:00:20:00
LR: 00:00:30:00
After publishing the project, I loaded it into FCP X. I used the same timecode video for each Drop Zone starting it at timecode value 00:01:00:00. Now, one would think that each drop zone window, having been placed exactly 10 seconds apart, would show timecode values for the inserted videos also each 10 seconds apart. But they don't! All four Drop Zones show exactly the same timecode value. They are acting as if all four were placed within the Motion 5 timeline starting at 00:00:00:00. But they weren't.
So, I thought, what would happen if I placed each Drop Zone in Motion in a separate Group? I created four Groups, each one holding only one Drop Zone. It didn't make a difference. The timecode videos in each window were still in sync with one another.
The only way I can get this to work properly is to offset the beginning of each clip by -10 seconds. Unfortunately, if there's not enough "preroll" in the clip to do that, I'm out of luck.
But it gets stranger! Further experimentation leads me to believe that all of the Drop Zones within a project reference themselves to the very first Drop Zone within the project. I picked a new point within the timecode video - in this case, the 2 minute point (00:02:00:00) and dropped it into the UL drop zone. I did the same then for the other three and now they all track based on that 00:02:00:00 point within the video!
But it gets even stranger!!! I tried one more experiment, this time loading the Drop Zones in reverse order. That seemed to work. But still, why should I have to mess around like this trying to sync drop zones in some of weird order?
The question is, why do Drop Zones work this way and what can be done to fix this problem? However I select the first frame of video for a particular drop zone should be what that drop zone references when rendering. Ideally it would be great to be able to use an in point on the clip, but I'm also happy with just moving the clip's cursor to the first frame. It's easy enough to do. Hopefully the software team working on these apps can come up with a solution that makes sense. Thanks.
John

I've had this too and the fix then was to delete my project render files (FCP that is).

Drop zone video playing too fast

I am building a Motion title sequence with a drop zone for video. I placed it into FCPx as a connected clip (purple timeline box), and associated the video under it to the drop zone. It all works except the video dropped in plays super fast, far out of sync with the audio below. Not sure why.
My FCPX timline, source footage and motion file are all the same frame rate, 23.98. Any ideas?

Where can you place a marker en set the project loop end. Because can place a marker and then go to edith marker. But i see no list as above?
1. Deselect any objects in the Timeline. Select Mark/Markers/Add Marker. If that menu item is not available, make sure there are not layers selected in the Layers window.
2. A timeline marker will be created at the playhead. When the playhead is on that marker, the Edit Marker menu item will become available.
3. Select Mark/Markers/Edit Marker. This brings up the dialogue where you can Name, Comment and select the marker type. Choose Project End Loop from the Type menu, then click OK.
4. Drag the Marker to the end of the timeline.
Adrie, I have not encountered your problem with freezing drop zones. In the past I have had many drop zones playing simultaneously, so it should work. If you suspect that you have a bad install, you should probably reinstall it before troubleshooting any further to eliminate that possibility. I am running a fresh install of 5 on a system that has never had 4 on it.
Where did you find that tutorial? do you have a link.

Motion Drop Zone template question

I am using a drop zone template to make a short promo video. I am trying to figure out how to transition from the drop zones flying in to open the video full screen to play. So the effect I want is a bed of music and the motion template flying in 6 drop zones. I want to see a drop zone expand into like a 20 second spot and then fly the drop zones again, pick a different one to expand into the full movie and so on. I have about 3 minutes to make this promo. I am using Final Cut Studio 3 and Motion 4.
What behaviors is there in Motion to do this or do I need to just bring in the motion file into FCP and use some sort of transition there?
Jeff

Which template are you trying to use?
I'd maybe do it this way...
1. Create the project in Motion using a frame that is twice the size of your editing format in FCP. If you're editing DV in FCP, use one of the HD templates. If you're using HD in FCP, you'll need to change the properties of the project to about 2160 pixels high. but the dropzones should be able to hold a full size clip.
2. Render it all out full size.
3. Import it into FCP and drop it into your timeline, set it to 25% or 50% scale, don't let FCP scale it to fit the sequence.
4. You will be able to use the scale and position (center) keyframes to zoom in on any single dropzone to fill the frame at 100%.
That's just one of many simple ways to do this without using a camera in the template. If you're new to Motion, save that for a later project.
Mark or others will have more interesting suggestions later.

Loss of quality in drop zone video

I am creating a DVD project where I've created a drop zone that is approximately half the size of the screen, split vertically (446 x 480 pixels). I have a video asset I wish to use in this drop zone, but no matter how I export the video (from Motion), it loses quality in the drop zone. It is not a matter of bad compression settings. It almost appears as if the footage has been scaled up from a smaller image.
Is there a limit to the resolution of a drop zone? If I scale down the image, the video looks crisp again... of course then my original layout is no longer intact.
Any idea of a workaround for this? Hopefully I am not missing something obvious.
thanks,
ak

You really don't have to use drop zones at all, just make everything part of the background. you might have to combine your motion workflow with some editing in FCP. I would suggest not using Uncompressed Animation, but simply using the DV-NTSC project preset.
You have the option to either import the .motn file directly into DVDSP, exporting your motion project as a quicktime movie, or a quick edit in FCP and export as a quicktime movie. I would suggest whichever route you take, export it as a quicktime movie and use compressor to encode to MPEG2 before importing your asset into DVDSP. This will give your greater flexibilty and control on the quailty of your final video.

Since 10.1.2 Drop zone cause last frame to be a still

Since 10.1.2 Update, I was trying fill a drop zone in FCPX with video from an Event and the last frame ends up showing as a still. This happens to be with a generator that I made in Motion and I have used this Generator twice a week, the same way since last september and on multiple different macs. It seems like every few updates, drop zones tend to work differently. I'm Level 2 Certified and well versed in in FCPX, but I've been racking my brain!
Here are some other steps I've tried and I still have the same problem.
I've Opened a Copy of the Generator in the newest version of Motion and re-saved it, went back to FCPX and still it didn't work.
I've added the clip to timeline and tried to fill it from there, no luck.
I've made a compound clip of the original clip, both in the Event and in the project, and tried to fill it. Still no luck.
I've gotten a clip that is longer than the drop zone, no luck
I've gotten a clip that is the exact same length as the drop zone, no luck
I've gotten a clip that was shorter, and for sure, that didn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?

I have the 10.1.2 update and everything is working fine for me... so much so that I've considered building effects with drop zones again (in general, I have hated them with a passion, until this release.) However, for the types of bugs I've had to deal with in FCPX, especially on my 09 iMac i7 (ATI Radeon 4850) particularly after the "rewrite" for the New Mac Pro (FCPX 10.1.1) and multiple GPUs, I have the feeling that Apple hasn't quite polished the code to work on all "supported" mac platforms... The wait was so long from the last update that I capitulated and bought the latest iMac i7 (late 2013) model and received it about a week before the 10.1.2 update. This update fixed most of the problems I was having on the older machine. (I've been wondering if it was a ploy to get a bunch of us to upgrade hardware... but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.)
If I may ask: what are the hardware specs of your system? You can reset preferences by holding down command + option when starting up FCPX 10.1.2 -- does that fix the problem? I had occasion once where a complete reinstall of FCPX solved a lot of issues I was having (IF you decide to try this method, you must first trash all preferences, and, you have to find all related .plist files and trash those too along with the application [Final Cut Pro X 10.1: How to remove and reinstall Final Cut Pro X go to the section "Removing Final Cut Pro X in OS X 10.9 Mavericks"] -- you're going for an absolutely clean install of the software. After trashing everything and before downloading, I recommend repairing permissions with Disk Utility.)
One more thing to check on before reinstalling: If you have backed up FCPX (or Motion) on an external drive (or "some other" location) -- this last time, the App Store found and replaced the backup on the external drive and did not update the version in the Applications folder. For a couple of days there, I thought I was running the current software until I started having some of my same old problems. I tried trashing the app again and the App Store would not let me upgrade - it showed the current version was installed. I think it took me over an hour to figure out that my backup had been upgraded and the App Store was seeing the external location for the install. Color me surprised. (Moral of the story, check the startup dialog to make sure you're running the version you think you are!)

Drop Zones: Video and Alpha Channels

Is it possible to create a drop zone where the asset is a video clip that contains transparency by way of an alpha channel such that portions of the video allow for the background image to show through?
I am familiar with setting up drop zones and custom shapes and I have used static images with transparency, but I've never done the same with video.
I am away from my system right now or I could test this myself. Thanks in advance for the help!

hi
depending on how complicated your shot is, you may be able to get away with simply placing the image within the frame on top of the background shot. Then resize down to fit. You may then need to tweak its corners using the corner pin tool to get it to sit in the right perspective plane. You may find you need to soften the edges of the top layer image so its not so sharp and hard. For this you probably would need to add a mask and soften its edges. Then you might need to add some noise and/or colour correction to make it sit naturally with the background image. and finally if there are any shadows cast over the picture frame you will need to add them back over the new image. You can use a black shape, with its opacity cranked down with a blur filter on it.
The manual describes all of these process pretty well.

Slow motion, subtitles and extracting freeze frames

hi friend,
had a few queries if someone can help.
1) want to play a single clip in a project in slow motion. how can it be done?
2) can subtitles of the voice be added? there are only three titles and only possibility to have one in a clip.
3) can a freeze frame be exported as a photo to camera roll or photos? or can a still frame in a video be extracted as a photo and sent to the camera roll?
thanx,

1. You will need to buy an slow motion video app.
     There are a few in the app store that slow down video that is already shot.
     Export the slowed video to the camera roll, and use it in iMovie.
2. Subtitling is not an option in iMovie.
     You can add 'middle' titles, but using this to make subtitles would be slow, and add transitions which is anoying.
3. There are apps that can make stills from video.
     Or you can do a screen grab of the ipad; hold power and Home button.

Drop Zone video is cut off

I started using DVD Studio today with a template that has a drop Zone it appears to be cut off on the bottom third now. When I reposition the drop zone size I notice the cut off area changes in size. After two years of using this program... this is a first.

I HAVE THE ANSWER !!!!!!! Now I'm feeling much better, but $299 lighter and 4 days that I will never get back.....
It turns out that everyone with Final Cut Studio Pro 6 that allowed the latest update of Snow Leopard 10.6.5 to install (just a few weeks ago on Nov 10th) got their program corrupted. People with Final Cut Pro 7 already installed were safe.
Here's the fix ....
1. Make sure you turn off "auto updates". Reinstall Snow Leopard, you don't have to erase just use your disk.
2. Then update manually to 10.6.4 by following these steps and downloading the update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048?viewlocale=en_US
3. Now Reinstall Final Cut pro
BUT Here's the rub ....
Do not update the OS X beyond 10.6.4 until you first buy the upgrade to FCP 7
(((big nasty grin)))
Problem solved.
Just remember I went to battle for you.

Video freeze, sound only, no solution

I'm having problems with video iChat. Shortly after I connect, my
video freezes (both send and receive) but the chat continues with
sound. If I try doing anything in iChat (like quitting) I get the
spinning wheel of death. The only thing I can do at that point is
force quit the process. Since the process doesn't technically crash, I
don't get a crash log. I am running a brand-new 24" iMac G5 with the
latest version of Mac OSX (10.4.10), and all software updates. I had
been able to successfully iChat until last week, which also coincided
with the latest OSX and QuickTime updates.
I have tried all of the following:
- Switching my port to 443
- Reducing Quicktime streaming speed to 1.5 Mps
- Changing settings on iChat bandwidth limit from Automatic to anything lower.
- Creating a brand-new test user and seeing if the problem persists. It does.
- Fooling with the Quicktime transport settings (HTTP vs. UDP)
- Ran Apple's hardware test suite. No problems. The built-in iSight
camera works fine with all other apps. I can capture video from the
camera with iMovie with no problems.
- Tested hardware. Everything fine. The iSight camera works fine in all other apps.
I can even make a movie with it in iMovie.
- Did a speed test. Download 8560Kb/s, upload 923 Kb/s
I can video chat with various Apple bots. This appears to be receive
only. My insert video has frozen only once. My friend whom I have
trouble chatting with (and with whom I was chatting successfully up
through last week) chats with other people on a daily basis without
incident.
I've ruled out my ISP and my router because I can iChat with the same
friend from my wife's G4 laptop. To make things even more maddening,
I can also iChat with my wife's laptop via AIM.
I did an archive install (keeping users and settings). Same problem.
I called up AppleCare and they recommended that I just reinstalled
iChat. It worked for a few minutes, then the same problem. Applecare's next
recommended course of action is an erase install, and I really don't want to
go through the hassle of that just to fix iChat.
I'm enclosing process samples that contain error messages, first from
the "vcencoder" child process of iChat, and then from iChat itself.
Here is a sample from vcencoder while I am connected with the Apple ichat bot. Notice
that I removed dozens of repetitive threadreadstack errors in the interest of space

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I just did all of the above:
Pacifist iChat reinstall
Pacifist Video Framework and Chat Framework reinstall
Combo reinstall.
Had one session of 2 or 3 minutes without freezing, though the stack errors
were still there in the processes. Then, I froze and all subsequent chats freeze almost immediately. This is driving me crazy.
Also - I'm new to the Mac world. I have a 24" Intel iMac - not a G5.
Thanks again

Motion Drop Zone pdf template - not updating in FCP X

In Motion 5, I add a PDF as an image type,
Then, make a RIG for the Media|Page Number slider.
All this works well, and well in Final Cut Pro X....
Until...
The user (In FCP X) drops another PDF -
The PDF works fine, but the Page Number slider doesn't resond, and is set to the number of pages of the original file.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks
Rob

Thanks Alex...
I dropped a PDF with multiple pages into
Final Cut Pro X...
and then onto the time line....
when I PLAY it, it goes through the pages...
So, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "single image".
I may be stuck with dropping my PDF in Motion... then all will be well, and my Rig,
in Final Cut can indeed navigate through the pages... and even be key framed to the page I want.

Lenovo G585 - wifi dropping and video freezing

Hi all,
I bought this Lenovo G585 (Win 8) in January this year, and over the past few weeks some problems have been developing. When I move the laptop, either the video I am streaming freezes, or the wifi drops, or both. Sometimes, even after 5/6 restarts, the laptop will not be able to find the wireless networks and I will have to shut it down, remove the battery, replace the battery, and turn it back on - and for some reason this works!
When I say "move" I literally mean I can be sitting on the sofa and move the laptop from beside me up onto my lap. The problem occurs when I transport the laptop between rooms, too.
I've updated the drivers, changed power management settings, updated my antivirus and run scans, all to no avail. What can I do next?

hi nikitgr,
When Heavyload is stressing the CPU @ 100% load, the CPU clock speed should reach 1.4Ghz as this is the specifications of the processor. (the image below only shows half). As far as I know, you should be getting 1400Mhz per core on 100% load.
If you see the same values above after running Heavyload CPU stress test, I recommend you report your findings to the Lenovo support team as to check if this is a limitation of the unit as per design or if there's a BIOS fix to correct it.
Regards

Motion 3 Crashing at specific frame - only in Best Quality setting!

Hello everyone,
I've got several Motion projects that show the same problem:
The project behaves and exports fine as long as I don't set the Render Quality to "Best". When I set the Quality to "Best", Motion will always crash at a specific frame (not the same frame in different projects, but always the same frame for a specific project). E.g. Motion exports the clip fine (Image Sequence or Quicktime movie) up to the problematic frame. When it reaches that frame it simply crashes. If I check that frame in Motion, Motion crashes instantly if I have the Render Quality set to Best. If I set it to anything else, it shows the frame without problems.
This behaviour is the same on my MacBookPro 2 GHz, 2 GB Ram as on a G5 Dual 2 GHz, 3 GB Ram.
I hope anyone has an idea how to fix this, I need to render those clips!
Thanks in advance!
Bjoern

No one at all?
That's too bad. I can't imagine that I'm the only one having this problem.
I sure hope that Apple releases an update to Motion that fixes the numerous bugs.
