How can you make 3d models work in Motion 5 or Final Cut Pro for under 100$

How would you be able to make a 3d model appear in Final Cut Pro or Motion and work, for cheap.

Not sure what you mean by work or cheap but if you're looking to do 3D modelling on the cheap I'd suggest looking into Google Sketchup or Cheetah 3D- http://www.cheetah3d.com/. FCP X and Motion are not 3D modellers.

How can I create transparent animated text with Motion and Final Cut Pro?

Hi all,
I am trying to replicate an effect that a previous video editor did in a project, but I can't contact them.
They made animated text in Live Type, and saved it as a QT movie. When this text is placed over existing video in the FCP project, the text is "transparent", basically it acts like text created in FCP (You can see the background image behind the text, like through the middle of the letter "o").
I have made some animated text in Motion, but when I save it as a QT movie, and bring it into FCP, the whole 1280x720 screen is covered by this movie, and I have to crop it so it does not cover the background image. It is all black except for the text. And of course the text is not on a transparent layer. Any ideas how I can create this effect with animated text? I've tried messing with transparency and overlay settings, nothing seems to work.
Running latest version of Final Cut Studio...
Thanks
Dave

Just bring the Motion (.motn) project into FCP and lay it over your clip.
The QT you're exporting has to carry the alpha channel (animation codec, million+ colors), but don't waste your time/disk space with that. Just bring the motion project into FCP.

How can I export a file that may use in Final Cut Pro?

Hello friends,
May I know how to export a file that I can use it Final Cut Pro???

If you are talking about rendering then just use any production codec that FCP supports. You have access to them all. Use the Render Cue or create a custom preset in the Adobe Media Encoder.
If you want to do something like dynamic link with FCP, that does not exist. You can save a PPro project as a FCP XML but any PPro effects or PPro settings unique to PPro will not come across. If you turn an After Effects project into a FCP project by going through PPro as was suggested then you will NOT get any of the effects you applied to your composition or any of the animation or anything but the footage In and Out points, opacity, rotation and position because that is all that will be moved into PPro because After Effects plug-ins are not compatible with PPro. If there is a dynamic link to an AE project in your PPro project that will not move to FCP at all. You'll get nothing.
So the long and short of it is if you want the work that you have done in AE to show up in FCP you must render the project. I use ProRez 444 10 bit for any work I do on FCP. You can make a custom Output Module preset to help speed up the workflow.
If you are new to AE please read this on rendering: After Effects Help | Basics of rendering and exporting
If you are really new please go through these three tutorials: Basic Workflow

How can I open a project made in 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version?

how can I open a project made in late 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version to finish editing it? files, timeline and unfinished edit are all stored on hard drive since early 2001, with all the original miniDV tapes still in hand

Do you still have legacy FCP? If you not you need to find someone who will open the project in FCP6.0.6 or later. Export an XML file of the project. Use 7toX to convert it to an XML format that works with FCPX. Import the converted XML file to FCP.

HELP! How can I view a clip frame by frame in final cut pro?

Hi, does anyone out there know how to view a clip in final cut pro frame by frame. I don't really want to use the jogging function as you cannot see each individual frame just all the frames snapped together. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

How do you get more free effects to use in Final Cut pro x?

I am looking for a safe free place to download more effects that I can use on my videos in Final cut pro x that include effects that aren't just limited to the colors of the video. I also hope that the place will have clear instructions on how to download them onto final cut pro x. If you know of a place like this let me know, thank you!

fcp.co is my go to place for transitions and effects. Most are between $20 and $50 and because they have many effect in each are well worth the money spent. My favorites are Pixel Studios and Lucas, both purchased through FX Factory. Look at the examples and demo videos before you buy.
Good luck!

How can I playback blu-ray .img files generated by Final Cut Pro X?

When I share a Final Cut Pro X project in Blu-ray and I set the output device as Hard drive (blu-ray), it creates a blu-ray image with a .img extension.
By the way, the project's clips are AVCHD (.mts extension) and the settings are set to 1080i (1440x1080 25i).
My question is: can I playback this file without having to burn a blu-ray disc?
I've been looking for information, and some people seems to playback blu-ray .iso files.
And: would Compressor 4 solve my problem? (is there anyway in Compressor to create a .iso image or something easier to play?).
By the way, I do have access to both Windows and Mac computers.
Thanks in advance,
Pol

Thanks for the answer.
If you own Compressor 4, could you tell me if it includes an option to generate a .iso file instead of a .img?
(here's information on how to playback a .iso).
Thanks,
Pol

Can you export a Quick Time REFERENCE file from Final Cut Pro X?

Used to be in FCP-7, you could export your timeline and at the bottom of the Export dialog box, there was a check box where you could check "Make the movie self-contained," which would export a full Quick Time .mov file, or you could UNCHECK that box and FCP would export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (referencing the source media used within the timeline), which you could then bring in to any one of a number of different encoding apps.
I prefer to use Sorenson Squeeze to do my encoding, as it's much, much faster than Compressor and has infinitely more format options (Flash, Windows Media, Real, etc., etc.).
But now, I don't see a way to export a Quick Time Reference file from the Final Cut Pro timeline, er, uh, storyline, er, uh, project.
Anybody know if there's a way to export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (not a full Quick Time .mov)?

I do the same thing with Final Cut Express, actually. Only I then open the reference file up in QuickTime Pro and re-export it to an h.264 mp4. I can do that multiple times in the background vs. getting caught up in Final Cut's pathetically non-threaded user interface when it's saving/exporting.
I was going to ask the exact same question here, but you beat me to it. And so far it sounds like the answer is "no" ... :-(

If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.

How do you move text edited in After Effects into Final Cut Pro?

I edited text in After Effects and want to use it at the start of my movie which is in Final Cut Pro.
How do I export the After Effects editted text into FCP?
I have FCP 7
Thankyou

I suppose the way to do it is to export to Quicktime and import that into FCP X.
Use ProRes 4444 codec in order to preserve transparency (alpha channel).

How do you find missing titles, effects, and generators in final cut pro x?

Actually, that's only one of two questions...
ONE
When I attempt to export a movie, uncompressed, not through Compressor and not sharing to an Apple device, I get an error saying my Project has "missing or offline titles, effects, or generators."
There is a little yellow warning triangle next to the project name.
But there are no little yellow warning triangles next to anything in my libraries, and everything plays through in the Timeline.
Before exporting, how can I identify the supposedly missing elements???
TWO
After attempting to export the same movie via the Share item to an iiPhone, i received a Quicktime Error: -50.
Interpretation, please?

I recently added a new plugin (mObject) and was experimenting with it. I decided to create a "temporary" library on my root drive since it's the fastest in my setup. I prefer to have major files like the library at the top level of my drives, and for the internal drive, that's outside my User folder. That's when all the trouble started. I would manually start a render and FCPX would not stop... would not completely render the clip... I would get "dashed" orange render lines over the clip. The only way to stop the rendering was to add something new to the storyline (that includes going into background tasks and trying to stop or pause the rendering from there!) Once I moved the library back into my user folder (and inside Movies), all the rendering problems stopped.
The only connection I can make is that FCPX is getting hung up on user permissions and the "current user". A lot of these issues started when I upgraded to a new iMac and restored all my old software (from the previous iMac) from Time Machine. It made me alter my user name for the new machine and I had some segments on this new machine with the older user permissions which I had to manually change to the new username in many cases.
If you have strict (user only) permissions on your RAID, try loosening them or make sure that you add your username to the list with read/write permissions. (? perhaps.)

How can I create a Time Lapse from clips in FInal Cut Pro?

Currently have 3hrs of footage from an event....wondering how I can create a time lapse of it all in FCP. I want to make it shortened down to around 4mins if possible. How is this created?

Try exporting a reference quicktime of your sequence and reimporting it into your project. Drop it in a sequence. Use the Time remap tool (click and hold in the select edit points tool until you see the icon that looks like a clock and choose it). Click and drag the end of your clip until it's at the 4 min mark.
Andy
PS: This is for FCP 7. Earlier versions of FCP require use of the speed dialog (CMD+J) or Time Remapping in the Motion Tab of the viewer.
