Application Specific Requirements for Motion 3:
The standard graphics card in any Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, iMac with Intel Core Duo, Power Mac G5, or iMac G5; 1.25GHz or faster PowerBook G4; or 1.25GHz or faster flat-panel iMac:
ATI Radeon 9800, 9700 Pro, 9600 XT, or 9600 Pro
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 or 9600
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT, 7300 GT, 6600, 6600 LE, FX Go5200, or FX 5200 Ultra
For 16- and 32-bit rendering: a graphics card with at least 128MB of VRAM
One thing to remember is that Motion performance really depends on a strong GPU. I don't see your graphics card on the recommended list. I would think that your particular Mac may be able to handle the basics, but you'll be better off upgrading.

Fcp and motion 3 with Yosemite

I Recently upgraded the operating system of my 2009 Mac Pro to Yosemite and consequently FCP and motion 3 no longer work. Can I do a clean install of Mavericks on a spare hard drive, install FCP and motion 3 on it and not have any conflicts with the other hard drives?

HHi Nick, thanks for the response. My question however was : can I have one hard drive operating Yosemite and another operating Mavericks with FCP and motion 3 without conflict in the same computer? Any ideas?

WHAT IS THE BEST VIDEO CARD FOR FINAL CUT PRO and MOTION?

Hello folks,
I have found a lot of posts regarding all kinds of troubles with ATI READEON X1900 video card.
When I talked to people from Apple, trying to decide which videocard to install in new MAC PRO, Ati Radeon X1900 was the one they did recommand for FCP and Motion. So are there any other cards which would actually suite better for Final Cut Studio2, or is Ati Radeon X1900 really the one to go with?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Kootenay

Techreport has some more information on the new 55nm Radeon (X3000) which should be another "mid November" releases, as well as an updated 8800 GT that still is under wraps.
So seems Intel and everyone else is trying to get new products out before the end of the year, if possible.
Drivers for graphics controllers may or may not need the work that sometimes seems to plague companies.

2 imacs v 1mbp for use with FCP and motion.

I'm in need of advice. I'm in the market for a new computer(s).
Let me give you a rundown on my situation.
HOME COMPUTER- dual 800 1GIG ram G4. probably 6-7 years old -i got it 2nd hand in 03 i think-
(its about 6 years old and very noisy and update needed)
WORK COMPUTER- AL PB G4 1.5ghz 2gig ram 17". Bees knees when released almost 4 years ago.
(redering and Motion are getting beyond tiresome with how slow they are).
The WORK computer I do all my editing on while the HOME computer I use for internet surfing, itunes etc. I use FCP for editing wedding dvds, work related videos etc. but I'm thinking of taking a break from the wedding filming & editing business to concentrate on other things. I will still continue to edit and film but not as much in the past 6 years. As of last week I don't have any projects or side jobs in the pipeline but that may change within 6 months.
MY QUESTION- What should I get?
1. 1 x 2.6 Ghz 4gig Ram 17" MBP at around 3,500 dollars (i'm in japan so about 360,000yen) and then use my AL powerbook as my home computer
OR
2. 2 x imac 20inch with 4gig ram which i think comes in at just under the MBP price
OR
3. 1 x imac 24" 4gig ram & 1x imac 20" with 4gig ram.
Is final cut pro and motion3 going to work better on the imacs than on my current AL powerbook? surely!
I still use motion1 and that really pushes my computer to it's limits. and the last 2 years have been a hectic one editing wise so I didn't want to upgrade computers during the course of projects ongoing.
(playing with fire in my books)
THING IS i need to be able to edit at both work and home. I take a my laptop with me to work everyday, but if I were to get 2 desktops I could just use external hard drives for my projects (which I do anyway). That's why if both computers are desktops they both need to be able to handle motion 3 and fcp6 to a competent level. and if I got two desktops I could try and sell my AL PB. It's still in superb condition due to me keeping it sleeved whenever not in use.
I heard rumours that apple will be releasing new imacs sooner rather than later as well.
ANY thoughts would be highly appreciated.

From what I've read on this forum, FCP doesn't work properly with two video cards.

Two Radeons 3870 with FCP and Motion?

Hi!
Have you tried to use two 3870 with FCP and Motion?
I just wanted to have all 512MB of video RAM for my canvas and use the second card with my Matrox MXO to display broadcast preview.
I know it could be risky, but as I remember earlier the problems shows only while rendering some of the plugins in FCP (my test was on 2006).
Do you have any experience with pair of 3870 cards?
I've just ordered two of them:)
regards

A question about Frame Rate in FCPX and Motion 5

I use a Canon Legria HV40 shooting at a frame rate of 25fps
Is it essential to set the frame rate in Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5 to 25fps as well?
The reason I'm asking this is that I recently put together a series of clips shot with the HV40 in a FCPX project with the default settings of 60fps and it didn't seem to matter - everything worked as expected..

FCPX automatically 'confirms' any clip rate to the Projects settings.
But ... more rendering to do (=time), 'un-eveness' could lead to blur/quality loss (=how do you divide 25 frames over 60 equally?) ...
Best practice is: cam, project, delivery = same frame-rate.
Exception: for nice slow-mo: HFR on cam, low fps on Project ....

Even after turning ON Reduce motion the icons and the windows and the apps zoom motion in and out is still giving me a lot of head ache and dizziness and motion sickness... Please fix it!!

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

How do I set-up my memory amount for max speed for FCP and Motion

Hey all, I have a Dual 2.3 G5 with (8 Gigs) Ram. I'm working with a new client. I want to set up my memory or whatever else to provide MAXIMUM processing power for FCP and MOTION. Does anyone have any recommended settings. I've maxed-our RAM. My card is (ATI Radeon 9600-128MB of VRAM)
Is there a setting in FCP that allows more processing power to be applied to that application ?
Appreciate any replies

Most of FCP's speed in performing functions is directly related to processor speed. The only way to increase performance would be to use a Mac with faster processors. Performance is also related to data throughput, so if you're working with high data rate video formats, a fast RAID and/or SATA (or eSATA) media storage solution would help.
The exception to FCP performance is when rendering/processing FX Plugs; they are dependent on the power of the graphics card.
Motion is mostly dependent on the power of the graphics card.
There is no way that I'm aware of that you can speed up RAM. Having the extra RAM will just mean that you can successfully work with more applications open at the same time.

How can i use shape tweening and motion tweenin together on a movie clip?(where is looping whitch was in propertise panel in CS5?)

how can show animation (shape and motion tween) witch i was created in Scens1-MovieClip in time line?
there was an option (looping) in CS5 but how can i do it in CC and CS6?

shape tweening can only be applied to raw drawn shapes, no movieclips. IF you wanted to do a shape tween to a movieclip it would have to be done within the timeline in the movieclip.

How to download the vision and motion module

I got a Labview 8.6 trial virsion and 7.1 original virsion and both of them doesnt contain vision and motion module , does anyone know how to get this module ??

What are your desired applications? Vision comes in three varieties: Vision Acquisition Software-VAS (just for image acquisition), Vision Development module (Acquire and process), and Vision Builder for Automated test (for stand alone Vision inspections).
NI-Motion is the motion driver that allows you to do motion control.
All of these pieces of software are separate from LabVIEW. NI-Motion comes with our motion hardware and VAS comes with our frame grabbers. You can download evaluation versions at ni.com to see how each of the programs work.

Why can't i access filters and motion for nested composition

i expect to be able to treat a nested composition just like a clip and double click it to access the filters and motion tabs. instead i get kicked back to the original composition. not what i would expect from reading the help section on nested compositions.
thanks!
(first time forum user -- not sure how to find reply -- send to <Edited out by hosts for your protection> if you wouldn't mind)

i expect to be able to treat a nested composition just like a clip and double click it to access the filters and motion tabs.
then you expect wrong! double-clicking an item "opens" that item ... so if you double click a "clip" then it opens into the viewer, but if you double-click a "nest" then it opens into the timeline
you can access the filters and motion tabs for that "clip" by selecting it in the timeline (single click) and then pressing Enter (or Return), or by dragging it from the timeline and dropping it onto the viewer window.
ps welcome to the forum, Inga ... if you can handle the complexities of FCP then I'm pretty sure you can figure out this forum!

Does SAP support work and motion study

Does any of the SAP module supports Time and motion study analysis. Something like the "Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST)"

Yes..I got a reply from SAP. It is valid for ECC 6 too.

Lost my Camera and motion paths

Help! I saved and closed a project, and when I re-opened it later, i can't see my camera or motion paths. The paths tracked over several photographs, and while I can see the photos in perspective view, they do not show up in any 3D angles or camera views. The wireframe image of the camera, background and motion paths are just gone.
Thanks in advance...

Create shape and motion tween of a line

I am trying to create a line graph in which the line is
following a certain path over time like in a simulation. The line
starts with a point in frame 1 and ends with a smooth not straight
line in e.g. frame 50. The line has to "run" like in an
electrocardiogram.
Is it possible to create this in flash?
If so, how? I tried to combine shape and motion tweening, but
that didn't work.
Thanks for your help

This is doable
If it is a fixed set of lines you would create the lines in a
MovieClip symbol and then slide the MovieClip symbol under a mask
by changing the _x property with either onEnterFrame or
setInterval.
If you have to draw the lines from dynamic data at run time,
you use the
MovieClip.lineStyle
and the
MovieClip.lineTo
properties on a MovieClip that you then would scroll under a mask
if you are looking for the electrocardiogram rolling paper effect.

Global Switches for Frame Blend and Motion Blur aren't working with the newest version of After Effects 2014.1.1

I have been using After Effects regularly since 1995. So this isn't an operator error.
I am on a new Mac Pro six core with OSX 10.9.5 and 32 gigs of RAM.
Is anyone else having trouble with activating frame blend and motion blur?
Occasionally I am able to get the global switch to appear to be on. It still won't activate motion blur or frame blend.

I'll answer my own issue. The global switches actually work. The distinct dark boxes that indicate when the global switches are enabled have been removed and replaced by a light blue outline of the switch icon.
