HSV filter in Motion makes clip disappear in Final Cut Pro

I'm running Motion 1.0.1 and Final Cut Pro HD 4.5. Whenever I add the HSV filter to a video clip in Motion, import the Motion file to Final Cut and play it in the timeline, it appears that the clip is missing.
Although I get no error messages from Final Cut saying that the clip is missing, it does not show up during playback. Every other layer from Motion plays as normal while the layer with the HSV filter applied to it looks as though it is gone. I should add that the video plays normally within Motion.
I could just export the video as a Quicktime movie, but I don't want to compress it.
Anyone had a similar issue?

That's a ridiculous answer. If there is a program designed to do something it will do it. If it's not operating properly there is a reason for it.

How do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop flickering?

how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop flickering?

Question: how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop flickering?
Answer: It depends on what is causing the flickering. It could be due to the pixel dimensions being too large for the Sequence settings in FCP. It could be due to thin horizontal lines in the image. It could be due to areas of the image in high contrast with each other. Or it could be due to a combination of several factors.
If the image is too large, reduce the pixel dimensions to a more reasonable size.
If it's due to thin horizontal lines, deinterlace the image, or slightly blur the lines in Photoshop.
If it's due to areas of high contrrast, reduce the contrast of those areas in Photoshop.
In FCP you can also try applying the Flicker filter to the image in the Timeline and/or a Gaussian blur filter with a setting of around 0.2 or 0.3

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

Captions Are Disappearing in Final Cut Pro X

Here's my problem. I'm currently using Final Cut Pro X to put together a 40 min movie. This movie includes various video clips as well as still images. Naturally there is a need for many captions/subtitles. However, when I'm finished for the day and close everything out, the next day upon opening up Final Cut Pro X again, i've found that many of my captions have returned to the default view. For instance, my caption may have said, "Johnny enjoys a day at the park." But upon returning, it says "title." I'm spending countless hours perfecting these captions only to find that they have to be redone. This will be the third time having to do this. The crazy thing is, not all of them do this. What is the problem here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm finding myself having to leave my mac on 24/7 in order to keep this from happening, but even that is impossible to continue.

I'm having exactly the same problem with a ten minute movie.
Some captions revert to "title" and keep the formatting that I'd set. Some revert to the default font and size.
A very few of them are saved as I created them.
If I had the responsibility of saving my work as I go along, I could blame myself if changes weren't saved, but the program is supposed to be keeping track of every change I make.
Very frustrating.
Help please.

Can I find or make a Animation on Final Cut Pro?

Whats up guys,
I want to find or make a graphics animation to put into a birthday video i'm editing for my 1 year old nephew.The software I'm using is Final Cut Pro on a Mac.
The animation could be something like toys moving around in a room or playground or anything else that playfull...or even fantasy like a bird delivering a baby to its parents. Is there a way I could either find or create animations on Final cut Pro? Or would I have to use another program? Please help.

FCP is an editing application, not meant for creating animations.
As David pointed out, After Effects (a bit much for a home user making a birthday video) can animate something, but isn't good at creating animation files.
Creating animations like presents and birds means looking into applications like MAYA, which they use for South Park. But again, a bit much for a birthday video. Not something you can pick up in a day.
www.digitaljuice.com has packages of pre-made animations. You can check them out.

Are microsoft movie maker files compatible with final cut pro files?

I would like to know if microsoft movie maker files are compatible with Final Cut Pro?
Thanks,
elemir

depends on how you're outputting. .wmv I don't think so.That's pretty much a dead end format. mp4 might be, but i'm not sure if movie maker outputs them. .avi might be, depends on the codec used.
Avoid .wmv, apple products don't play well with that format (never have) and aim for some other output type. Then on your mac, if you don't already have it, if you don't already have it, get the free converter mpegstreamclip and see if it can convert your movie maker output into something final cut will input. DV files are good, as are .mov files.

Can I use motion 5 and Compressor with Final Cut Pro 7?

Hi, Guys and Girls:
After reading a lot about the new Final Cut X I decided not to buy it. I´m not gonna say anything about it, pretty much everything has been said so there´s no point in being redundant about it.
So my question is this:
Can I use the new version of Motion and Compressor with the old Final Cut Pro 7?
I heard the new version of Motion is nice, not so sure about the new Compressor but any improvement would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
Daniel Sametz.

Anyone?

Make Text Fit in Final Cut Pro 7

In Final Cut Pro 7, is there a way to make text fit properly on your screen without manually hitting enter on each line? I’ll try to explain myself: I frequently use screens with a lot of writing. I write the text in the Controls tab of a text box. If I write a long sentence, the words will run off the screen even if I change the size of the font to a smaller one. I can stop that from happening by hitting enter midway through a sentence; the remainder of the sentence then moves to the line below. Since I’m writing a lot, I have to repeat this process a lot. It is kind of a guess and check procedure because I have to see how the screen looks after I hit enter each time. Can I do something so that Final Cut Pro 7 automatically moves text to the next line (just like it does when I’m typing in Word)?
Thank you for your help.

For best results, don't use FCP's built-in text generators. Instead, use the Boris Generators which came bundled with FCP. For static text, use Boris 3D. You can format the text just about anyway you want.

Cannot select a clip, or title Final Cut Pro X

I've been working with FCP X for a week or so now and am starting to get used to the format. However, recently it just decides to select (yellow box) a clip at random in my storyline and I cannot get off of the selection. No matter how hard I try to click on another clip, outside the clip, hit other buttons everything it hangs on that one clip. After all of this tying to get it unstuck, it might jump to another clip--never the one I want to work on and then stay there.
Sometimes I can free it up by cycling through command plus and minus. Actually, I think using command plus or minus may even cause the problem.
I have tried quitting FCP and restarting and even shutting off the computer and restarting to see if I then can select a clip. That doesn't help either.
VERY frustrating

I hope you found a way around this. It's unusual not to get any replies at all.
Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and quite safe).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Pref Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to go over your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
It's worth a try.

Breaking down a VOB file for clip edting in final cut pro

I have a client that shot some video of their farm this past week and they want us to edit portions of the video. Of course this is one huge .VOB file. I have the the entire VIDEO_TS file folder but I have yet to find a way to capture clips from this file?
Is there a way to capture any of this without having to make multiple copies of the file? It is a lot large than I would like 800MB.

I figured it out Thanks for the help/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic_ __/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images /migration-img-not-avail.png It was greatly appreciated.

Move the Connecting Clip line in Final Cut Pro X

I thought you could change the connecting line where the Connecting Clip attaches to the Clip on the Primary Storyline while keeping both in sync. Usually the Connecting Clip has the line at the first frame.
I can't find the command where you move that line. Was it in the manual?

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I don't want to move the Connected Clip itself.
I want to move the line (at the first frame of the Connected Clip) that connects the Connected Clip to the Clip on the Primary Storyline. If you do some edits at the beginning of the clip on the Primary Storyline then you could screw up that Connected Clip. If the connecting line is at the middle of the Connected Clip, those edits at the beginning of the "Primary" Clip won't affect the relationship (sync) between Connected Clip and the Clip on the Primary Storyline.
Are you sure about the The "Break Apart Clip" command? It just breaks apart the audio and video components into two separate Clips but won't move the Connected Clip to the beginning of the Clip on the Primary Storyline. At least that is how it works on my versions.

Insert clip problem in Final Cut Pro X

All of a sudden, when I grab a clip from the bin and drag it into the timeline, instead of the existing clips parting and making room for the new clip, the new clip is replacing whatever is on the timeline. Not sure how that has happened. Must be something accidentally switched on. Anyone know how to fix this?

Never mind. I figured it out. The T key had been depressed and so it was thus stuck in the mode that does that. I will leave this here in case anyone else has the same problem.

Compound Clip Problem in Final Cut Pro X

I've posted most of the details within the video, explaining the issue. Basically, I'm using a green screen and transitioning pictures behind me on screen. I'm also singing in the video, so I need my lips to match up to the audio in the background. Before I create the compound clip (to fix the black background issue), the timing is perfect. But once I create the compound clip, the timing is off and I can't seem to extend the trasition or figure out a way to get my lips back in sync.
The exact issue is shown in the video below

Look at a video called finalcut pro X tips and tricks on YouTube it shows how to fix your issue.

Motion 3.02 - cannot open any final cut pro projects

Please help. Motion won't open any Final Cut Pro projects, and I've been training to learn Motion, I'm stuck on this lesson because I can't open a FCP project. All FCP projects are greyed out when I go to Open in Motion, and even if I right click the project file and Open With and force Motion to, it cannot open the file. I can "Send To > Motion" in FCP and that works, but it's not the same.
I have FCP 6.06, both are part of Final Cut Studio 2 Academic version. Not that my FCP version matters, because the CD provided in my Motion 3 training book gave me a (probably) FCP 6.0 project file, even when I updated it, it won't work. Not even my old old FCP files from previous versions can open with Motion.
Much thanks.

But it can be done the other way, perhaps you reads about that. Motion files can be imported into FCP and used just like regular clips.

How to publish Motion 5 templates with another editor's Final Cut Pro x

How to publish Motion 5 templates with another editor's Final Cut Pro x

That's also simpel,
Let the Motion 5 designer deliver the map that he made. For example he made a title effect with the title "We Are Awesome Company Title" than you get that map after the head "Effects" map. So he must send that map with all the stuff in it to an editor and the editor place that map in Motion Templates -> Effects.
Restart Final Cut Pro X and there you go.
