Premiere CC can't import Apple Motion files after clean install

Got a new SSD so I decided to do a spankin new install of everything except Final Cut Pro legacy (which I thought I could finally do without). Only snag has been that Premiere CC can't import my Apple Motion projects (version 3) and I can't encode ProRes anymore. Rather than do a lengthy install of the whole Final Cut Studio I just decided to purchase Motion 5 and thought all the functionality would come back. Nope. Premiere's browser won't even display .motn files and if I try to "import" them they are greyed out.
So now I'm stumped. Do I need to install Motion first and then Premiere CC?
MacPro Mavericks
Premiere 7.2.2

Hi R & G,
I don't believe Motion 5 projects are supported. Motion 4, or earlier, as I understand it. You can install FCP to get the ProRes codecs back.
Thanks,
Kevin

Can't import the motion file

I'm working on a project using HDV clips recorded at 720p. I send a clip from the FCP time line to Motion. After adding text, I save the file and quit Motion. Back in FCP, I try to import the motion file, but it's grayed out. Is the problem with my motion user PRESET preferences?

When you used "Send to Motion", did you check the "embed motion project file" checkbox? If so, you shouldn't have to import the Motion project.

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP

Can't import FCPX Titel in Motion 5

Hello. I can not import the Final Cut Pro X Titel in Motion 5?!
The "Error Message" is: This file can not open'd because it is made with a newer version of motion. You need Motion 5.5.
There is only Motion 5.0.1 on my mac and the App Store say, that this is the newest one.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot for answear.
Cheers, Christoph

For starters, the current version of Motion available on the app store is 5.1. There is no version 5.5. If you are running 5.0.1, you're several years out of date. You should be seing the update availale in the app store, if you are not, you may want to review this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4057?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

Can't import .mov file how to convert it

Hi Guys
I have been sent ten .mov video files which i can open it in quick time but can't import into imovie 09
I have tried to re-save in quick time but didn't make any difference, the files are still not able to import, also the person who sent them labeled the files with a / in the name I changed this but still made no difference,
the properties are
H.264, 320 x 240, Millions
AAC, 2 channels, 32000 Hz
FPS: 12
data size: 474 KB
data rate: 198.26 kbit/s
current size - 478 x 359 pixels
I want to be able to import them all into imovie 09 so I can edit them and join together, can you recommend a reliable free software that I can do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
P

Thanks so much for the great advice, I downloaded mpeg streamclip and I have been playing around with converting my video.
There are many different options and I have tried a few but the quality of the picture is slightly pixelated. Can you advise me about the best option to use to get the best quality picture.
I want to be able to edit it in imovie, so I was exporting it to quicktime but there are many other options which would you recommend?
When I exported it to quicktime I tried the following options
I have tried compression -
Apple motion jpeg A
png - sound played but picture was frozen and didn't play
Tiff - same thing as png
but there is an endless list and I'm not sure what it all means.
There are also many different frame sizes, I use (4:3) in imovie but it also had a 320 x 240 unscaled I'm not sure what this means?
Are there any other options/boxes I should be altering/checking?
Sorry for asking so many questions.
I'm not really very familiar with all these terms, it's a completely new language to me.
Any advice would be really appreciated
Thanks again for helping me out : )

Export/Import From Motion to FCP

Hello
I'm new to this forum and have just recently begun working in the film and video industry. I am also new to the Apple community. So please excuse any misuse of terms as am not fully integrated into the business yet. I have created a background that has a lot of motion as well as an emitter in it and duplicating the sequence didn't seem to be the way to go. So I looped the sequence to run for 90 minutes. I am trying to decide if there is a need to export the file from motion as a quicktime file or should I just import the motion document into FCP and overlay my text elements (also created in motion) on V2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way thanks to Patrick for all you great "fun with" projects they have been a great help in learning Motion.

Thanks for your input. What I'm building is a sponsor loop for a banquet. I needed a 90 minute graphics bed over which to apply my text and logo elements. I ended up modify and existing 15 sec clip from the motion library tossing in an emitter and looping it for 90 minutes.
The problem was the sheer size of the file and the time it took to render if FCP. I ended up exporting the file as an 8 bit uncompressed QT movie so I wouldn't have to rerender it in FCP. It took about 2 1/2 hours but in the end it worked out.
Here is a follow up question. I have finished the text and logo element that goes over the bed but when the time comes to import the Motion file into FCP I have to render every time I put it into the timeline. I realize that the first time it appears it's necessary but is there a way to get around that having to let the thing render over night as this clip will be copied 44 times and each copy takes about 6 minutes to render.
I was thinking about exporting it as a QT file from motion just like the background but then I can't get the title sequence to appear over the backgound the way I would like as a QT element compared to Motion element. Tranparency issues.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

What kind of Video can I import into InDesign?

I've read that Acrobat 9 and newer can display flash video files within a PDF. I tried importing an .flv file into InDesign but it did not work. Is this possible to do? Also, are there any other types of video files that can be imported into InDesign?
The idea is to do a quick reference guide for a software application which will have an embedded flash video file showing motion capture of the application in action.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat 9 can display Flash (SWF) files well if you add the files within Acrobat. However, if you add the SWF files in InDesign and then export to PDF, the SWF files may not play, especially on a Mac. You're better off leaving a placeholder in InDesign and then adding the SWF in Acrobat to the exported PDF. For more details, see Sandee Cohen's entry:

Import fl.motion

I'm trying to get this code working from the help file.
import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
abox_animator.addEventListener(MotionEvent.MOTION_END,afterMotion);
function afterMotion(e:MotionEvent) {     trace("animation complete!"); }
I've tried using the code as is, and also my own verision
girod_mc.stop()
//girod_mc.autoRewind = true;
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playMovie);
import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
play_btn.addEventListener(MotionEvent.MOTION_END,reStart);
function playMovie (event:MouseEvent):void
    girod_mc.play();
    play_btn.alpha = 0;
function reStart (event:MotionEvent)
    girod_mc.rewind();
    play_btn.alpha = 1;
If I use the code as is from the help file, I get abox_animator undefined, which is normal.
If I replace abox_animator with girod_mc, I no longer get an undefined, but the code doesn't seem to get exectute.
BUT I don't understand enough about it to go any further.
I had supposed that if I executed the help file code exactly as it, that it would work.
Can anyone please help me, or point me to a page that will explain this ?
What I am trying to accomplish :
In my code I have a play button, when the internaute hits this play button it disappears. That works fine.
At the end of the film, I want the film to rewind and the play button to appear again.
I can get the film to rewind by using girod_mc.autoRewind = true;
But I thought I'd try to get it working in my fuction instead.
TIA
Pat

Sorry I made a typo error.
I have put the following 2 lines in the last frame on the layer with the video girod_mc
dispatchEvent(new Event("ended"));
stop();
I have 3 layers, 1 for the movie clip, 1 for the button, and 1 for the action script.
Untill you told me to put the above code.
In the video layer I now have 2 frames, the second one containing the above lines of code.
and I put the below lines on an action script layer frame 1 but it still isn't working.
thanks for sticking with me.
// ******************** and change your current code to:
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playMovie);
girod_mc.addEventListener("ended",reStart);
function playMovie (event:MouseEvent):void
    girod_mc.play();
    play_btn.visible=false;
function reStart (event:MotionEvent)
    play_btn.visible=true;

Can you import custom templates for keynote?

Can you import custom templates for keynote?

Yes you can. You can import a Motion project file directly into DVD Studio Pro, though when I tried it took a loooooong time (depends on the size and complexity of the project of course). Here's a tutorial on how to do that:
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-use-dvd-studio-pro-4-with-motion-53426/
OR... you can just export your Motion project and import it into DVD SP as a Quicktime file, and put that in the Menu section. Then you can add your buttons and so forth and proceed from there.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Can I import flash files into Premiere Elements 8

Subject: Can I import flash files into Premiere Elements 8
One thing to point out, if you are doing this with the trial. While it is 100% (nothing crippled, or omitted), the trial WILL put a watermark on the finished Project. If you are doing this for work, be aware of that watermark. This http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433730?tstart=0 will give you some tips and background.
Good luck, and I do not want you to be surprised and mad, when you get that watermark.

Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?

Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?
If so how do I accomplish this act?
Are their additional menus available for Encore CS4?

The Menus in PrE are in Menu Sets. Each set is a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu. As PrE does the authoring semi-automatically, there are many "extras" in those PSD's, in the Button Layer Sets. All you have to do is make a Copy of your two Menus into a separate folder, so that you do not worry about messing up your Menu Sets in PrE. I'd do this in a new sub-folder in the Encore Library folder hierarchy. Then, Open each of these two Menus in PS. Go in and clean out all of the other languages for the Text and Button Text. Match the Layer Set/Button Layer Set names to those naming conventions in the Encore Library Menus, as you will not be getting any semi-automation. Where you do not need, say a Next Button, just eliminate that Button's Layer Set. Remember, PrE will do this semi-automatically, plus will give you the number of Scene Selection Menus, that your Project calls for - Encore will not. You must count the Scenes, divide by the number of Buttons on that Scene Selection Menu, and do Copies of that Menu, to accommodate what you require.
As for Encore, it comes with a full compliment of Menus, Buttons, and other Assets, like EM files (Templates), with Motion and Audio Assets. All can be completely customized in PS. Note: in PSElements, I do not believe that you can create Layer Sets, so that will be a limitation. The full PS has no limitations, with the single exception that to change Button Sub-picture Highlight colors, this must be done in Encore's Menu Editor, unless it's been added to PS CS5.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - remember, work on Copies of the two Menus in the PrE Menu Set, and NOT on the originals, or you will be doing a Repair Install to get those back.

Importing slow motion sequenze (848 x 480) from GoPro Hero 3 black edition in FC

How can I import a slow motion sequenz from my Hero GoPro black edition into Final Cut? The original has a resolution of 848 x 480. After the import Final Cut makes this sequenze a little bit larger (640 x 480), resulting that part of sharpness is lost.

When dropping the clip into the timeline for the first time, try setting the Video Properties Format to NTSC SD and Resolution to 720x480 DV Anamorphic. Clips of your resolution should fit and leave a bit of pillarboxing on the sides. To ensure you're playing it back at the best image quality, go to Playback Preferences, and set Playback Quality to High Quality.
