Importa a maya camera in motion?

hey somebody knows how to import a maya´s camera and locators in motion 3?
im doing some heavy post work and definitively import the camera from my 3dscene will help me to get the final look that i need (and reduce my render time)
i know how to do that in after efects but i need the replicator and the 3d particles, and render the 3d particles in maya is not a good option
PD: i apologise for my english (my navite language is spanish)

Ok, may be a bit complicated. First your best would be to render your 3D particles in Maya separetly using the hardware render.( not mental ray or maya software) then composite in Shake or motion.
but I tried to match maya camera movement in Motion and had good results.

you can download the files in the link above and see the movie and a snapshot of the motion project.
I rendered in maya. took notes of every maya keyframe for the camera.
made sure both cameras started in the same positions fromXYZ=000 +maya offsets. then added 3 D particles in motion and it worked.
too mutch work but justified sometimes.
Also make sure the maya output movie is placed in a 2D layer in Motion with the alpha channel for composition. Have you effects in a 3 D layer above.
had to scale down the movie as the original is HD1080p over 2 gig.

  • Import photos to Camera Roll

    This there any way that I can import photos to Camera Roll? I've imported hundreads of photos from there before I restore my 3GS and I couldn't find any method to put them back afterwards... Thanks in advance!!

    Pictures are never imported to Camera Roll.  Camera Roll is only for temporary storage of pictures taken with the device.
    Once the pictures have been copied off the device they can be synced back via iTunes but they will never appear in Camera Roll, they appear in folders instead.

  • Transfer Pictures from Imported Album to Camera Roll

    How much ever i search the net i havent found an answer for this problem. I seem to fall in to a vicious cycle of coming back to square one. Please help me with the following question please.
    1). I am using ipad with camera connection kit for transferring pictures to my ipad.
    2) i have dropbox and MSN Onedrive for storing pictures.
    3) both dropbox and onedrive sync pictures only from camera roll ignoring the other pictures which are vital too.
    4) all the wifi transfer photosync and a core or free aps available in the appstore ddint solve my problem.
    Is there a way to transfer the pics to camera roll without going through a tedious process? Why cant there be a simpler solution?
    Only when i transferthe pics to camera roll that i can sync them wi either dropbox or onedrive.
    PLEASE SUGGEST AN IDEA
    thank you in advance.

    While using Camera Connection Kit to transfer pictures from Memory Card to Ipad the pictures in the memory card gets saved to a separate folder called "Imported Pictures" instead of saving to Camera Roll of Ipad which is the default sync folder for dropbox and onedrive. Its not possible to move the imported album pictures to Camera Roll that easily or very simply. The process is complicated or requires a paid application. My question is whether the pics can be directly saved to camera roll or is there a way to move at a bulk all the pics from imported album to camera roll so that the sync with dropbox and onedrive is easier and simpler.
    Thank you

  • I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

    I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

    More info please:
    Type of camera?
    Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
    Type of files the camera is set to record?

  • I can't add a title to a movie imported from my camera! how come?

    This is really frustrating because I have one clip (an entirely different one than the one I want to add a title to) that is "accepting" a title. but the one I imported from my camera (a testimonial from a client) just wont work. nothing happens when I drag and try to drop a title. with the other one, it turns blue and it's clear I can drop a title. I was able to edit my video and remove some clips.
    this has happened before. i need to understand why it happens so 1. i can avoid it in the future and 2. stop wasting so much time messing around with this critcal but SMALL piece.
    please help!
    Fareen

    ill try to help...
    forgive me i'm no tech. much like pictures cant be edited retitled etc, once uploaded from camera roll. (they can be in camera roll) I think you can do it on the computer after the fact.
    as for where to find the video that depends on the computer. I dont know on a mac but windows based you find the file in your library right click and select rename.
    hope that helps

  • LR displays "no preview available" upon import direct from camera after last update. How do I fix this?

    I have the latest LR update with Nikon D700 and import directly from camera. I purchased a new CF card in case the old one was the problem but I get the same thing with the new card. Is there a bug in the last update or is this a problem with my equipment?

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

  • Imported Photoshop Layers change in Motion after re-saving PSD file

    Curious if anyone has seen this issue:
    I have a multi-layered Photoshop CS drawing that I import (All Layers) into Motion to animate. No problem.
    If I make a change to the original Photoshop PSD file, the Motion layers are updated incorrectly. The layers are swapped and their locations move. The only fix I have is to completely re-import the file and start from scratch.
    I've also seen the Motion layers change slightly if I just save the PSD file again without changes. They are minor, but still apparent.
    Anyone, anyone?
    Dual 2GHz G5 : 3GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   FCP5

    Lesson learned. Do you know, is the a problem only if PS and Motion are open at the same time?
    I like the fact that Motion attempts to update, but the fact it does it wrong is a bummer. I suppose if this only happens when the two programs are open one could simply close motion, change one or two layers in photoshop, and import only those layer into Motion upon re-opening. Not a big deal.
    I may try and see what happens... with a small project without a deadline...

  • Import from a camera that contains mts files

    what is the required file structure for FCE to import from a camera that contains mts files

    The file structure is provided/created automatically by the camera....
    So if you still have the original structure, then you should be fine, but you may need to install software for log and transfer from the camera manufacturer...
    If you just have the individual mts file, you are SOL as far as log and transfer goes. In that case you need to purchase ClipWrap2 to convert to Pro Res....
    Not sure how this all works with FC Express though...

  • Importing from DVD CAM

    Hi, I just installed Adobe Premiere Pro but I don't know how to import my videos from my DVD CAM. Could anyone tell me how to import from DVD CAM?
    Thank you

    Was just given 2 DVD cam discs containing footage that was shot at a concert I am editing. On reviewing the discs, I noticed that each song is assigned to a separate chapter on the DVD.   I'd really like to use this footage as it provides additional camera angles I didn't cover.  I am going to use my old Ulead Video Studio 8 program to convert the DVD files to mpg's for editing in Pr. (I will also check out the software Jeff mentioned).  I'm trying to convert each chapter on the DVD to an mpeg2 file so the files size is manageable.
    The footage I shot is mini DV, and I plan on mixing the two sources.    What do I need to look out for as far as the "conversions/extra steps" you mentioned?
    Thanks.

  • Iphoto doesn't ask me if i would like to keep the photos i import on my camera or if i would like to delete them? how do i get it to ask? newest version of iphoto. iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    iphoto doesn't ask me if i would like to keep the photos i import on my camera or if i would like to delete them? how do i get it to ask? newest version of iphoto. iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • IPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera

    iPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera that were imported before iPhoto quit. Photos are still on the camera however iPhoto only "sees" the photos that were not imported on this computer. I can connect to my other mac and see all the photos. This has happened before and I wanted to learn how to deal with this problem. Thanks Ed

    I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1 connected via usb to a Canon G12. I have had this issue before when importing photos. I can work around by using my other Mac and download the photos. I believe that there maybe a setting on the Mac that prevents duplicating photo downloads that may be preventing me from seeing these photos stored in the camera memory although I can view them on the camera.

  • I am unable to import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11 without getting message saying "the file is an unrecognizable format"  They are JPG files like always but now i can only import from a CD.  What is the fix to this problem?

    I have always been able to import pictures from camera to iphoto without a problem.  Now, for some unknown reason our iMac and Mac Laptop will not import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11...what is the fix to this problem?  It will only accept import from a CD.
