Importing Media from Motion 5

Why all of a sudden do all of my imports from Motion 5 have a black background?
They won't properly super as before.  I have everything in Motion set as transparent too!
What am I doing wrong here?  I just want text over my subject (shot on green) keyed over white to show words.
Help!

No 422 as always.
I'm now trying the Final Cut Title set up in Motion.  I've done one and it still doesn't show as transparent over they layers beneath it in FCPX.  Still see black file that won't reveal the layers below it.

  • Import media from card vs. Finder

    Is it a bad idea to Import MOVs straight from the Finder to FCPx as opposed to Importing from the original card structure? The only difference I see it the "Camera Name" and "Reel" columns are blank, but maybe there is something else I am missing. 
    Let me back up:
    I'm seeing signifigantly slower read/write speeds when I import media that are within the original CF card data structure as opposed to when I import files that are "loose" in the Finder.
    I have cloned my source cards from the CF media to my RAID, which is where I am importing from (there is no card attached to my computer).
    I am importing to an Event that is on the same RAID as my cloned card.
    When I use FCPx to Import media from the cloned card on my RAID, I am seeing read/write speeds of about 20MB/s.
    If I copy the MOV files from the cloned card to the "Original Media" folder in my Event (again, on the same RAID as my cloned card), I get speeds around 300MB/s. If I import the MOVs that I copied to the "Original Media" folder, the Import into FCPx is instant.
    Thanks

    try this plugin. it will import directly to FCP X from cam

  • Import templates from Motion 4 into 5

    Has anyone been able to import the templates from Motion 4, particularly the Broadcast Video ones? 

    I've come to a couple of decisions:
    I am not buying FCP X until they fix the many issues...that is another story but very related to this one...Apple is actually refunding customers their money for FCP X...so you know that is bad for FCP X
    I am using Motion 5 only if iI have to in certain project when need to.,.
    The speed has not change in Motion 5, but I think you have to have the new  Lion install to see the difference with that... will see... 
    The is no more Live Fonts in Motion 5
    Motion 5 does not get along with FCP orFCP X (you can't send project to Motion anymore)
    You can only have one project open at the time with Motion 5
    The templates are there and you can get to them but is such hassle just to open them up with motion 5...
    I have drag Motion 4 back to my apps bar and will continue working with it along with FCP7...
    so disappointed...

  • Can't burn cds but can import media from them?

    Hi. I built my computer about 7 months ago and runs Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. I am able to import songs from my cd drive but cannot burn since it says "Disk burner or software not found..." There is a window that says that itunes cannot import media or burn cds when i start up the program. I have tried reinstalling itunes multiple times and it is no better. I have even tried to find converters so I could burn my music using windows media player. I know that the formats for the music are .mp4a, .mp4b, and mp4p and that WMP does not support these formats for burning. is there any way i can get drivers for my computer or should i just go out and buy an external cd drive for my computer? Or is there a converter that would change these formats to .mp3, even though that isn't very legal. The CD drive is made by Samsung and believe it is the SH-W162L DVD writer.

    iTunes can be a bit flaky on 64 bit Vista since it's not supported but it has been known to work.

    Also, make sure the your other firmware & drivers are up to date.

  • Import Templares from Motion to DVDSP?

    I can't find a template in DVDSP that is appropriate for my subject, but can find several in Motion that fill the bill. Is it possible to import a Motion template into DVDSP in a way that converts it to a useable file in DVDSP? If so, what are the steps?
    Thanks

    Wish I knew this, too.
    I don't know why Motion even offers all of those templates, with buttons fading in over time, etc., when you cannot apparently even use those templates as DVD menus.

  • Importing Template from Motion

    I am new to Motion and having trouble exporting a template I made in Motion to DVD Pro. I used the built in travel template in Motion, added my text and video. Motion allowed me to save it as a template but DVD Pro does not see it (not highlighted) when I try to import it. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
    Thanks

    Not sure what you are asking, especially RE: "DVD Pro
    does not see it (not highlighted)"
    You shouldn't have a problem importing anything you
    create in Motion into DVDSP. But things like buttons
    won't be highlighted (Highlit? What is the proper
    grammar) until you create a button over the text
    (say, for example, you add the word 'play all' or
    'chapter' to a template you create in Motion...you
    bring it into DVDSP..drag it into a menu as a
    background...nothing will happen to the words until
    you create a button that encompasses the words in
    question)
    In DVD Pro if you try importing a template the folder that holds the templates will be highlighted, ie you can click on it. But its contents (the actual templates) will not be highlighted, ie you cannot click on it.

  • Moving projects and imported media from computer to EHD

    Hello all
    I have just recently finished a project in  FCPX and all the media is stored on my Macs hard drive. I am wanting to move this project to my EHD, so its not taking up so much space on my computers HD. But in doing so i also want to be able to go back and edit the project at anytime. Can anyone help me out on how to move everything over. I tried to copy the project folder itself but says that the file volume is to small to copy over.
    Thanks

    Tom,
    When I duplicate the project to a properly formatted EHD as you have suggested, fcpx accurately creates duplicate event and project files on the EHD, however it also creates an exact duplicate event in the event library i.e. with the identical name and contents as ther original - 2 exact event files.  Is this normal?

  • Severe problems importing media from iPhone 4 to Aperture 3

    I'm using iOS 4.0.2 with an iPhone 4.
    First time I have tried to import into Aperture 3 and it's only importing some images and I get the same message of errors and a statement that the following images are of an unsupported file format for Aperture 3, they are of course jpegs??.
    I just tried using Image Capture to a folder on my Desktop and it is taking approx. 10 mins per image to download and then when I cancel the import it fails to save any images anyway.
    Same goes for iPhoto. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

    I believe today's OS update (for the computer, not the phone) has some Apeture fixes in it - have you downloaded that update and tried again?

  • Crash after attempting to import media

    I just purchased elements 9, and I tried importing media from my DV camera. Every single time I did that, I got some crazy looking error. I have included screenshots of the error.
    The page these images are on was a page I was looking at to try and figure out where the crashes are coming from. I had already contacted customer support, and they said uninstall and reinstall everything. So, I did that and still the same thing.
    I have a Windows platform, XP, AMD Phenom II X3 720 processor, 2.81 Ghz, 2 GB RAM,
    I don't know what other information might be relevant, but this editor is essentially worthless if I can't import media from my camera.

    Well officially you should be able to run with 1GB (2GB for HD editing), but empirical evidence shows that that is quite unrealistic. A minimum 4GB RAM + Quad-Core processor and multiple fast hard disks are pretty much essential for AVCHD editing.
    But feed it DV-AVI Type 2 files and PRE on 2GB ought to work for you, especially if you work through Clean, Lean & Mean Editing Machine - One Workflow.
    And in case you haven't seen the basic tips:
    Install all Windows Updates.
    Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.8 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
    Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
    Run Disk Cleanup.
    Run Defragmenter.
    Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.

  • Cant import media

    I am trying to import media from an external hard drive but it wont come up in fcpx libraries window and I want to save my projects there as well.

    You need to ask your question here: Final Cut Pro X
    This part of Apple Discussions is for the legacy suite, Final Cut Studio.

  • Importing from Motion, Roundtrip = no trip

    I'm getting an error message, which sounds like a Permissions problem, "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown." but what do I know?
    This happens from within FCP (5.1.2), when I'm in the Browser trying to import a particular Motion project, as a .motn file.
    The Motion project which I'm trying to import has audio, and I'm using Motion 2.1.2.
    I went ahead and repaired Disk Permissions, but to no effect.
    Any ideas to try? Need more information?

    I don't think it's a permission problem. FCP can't recognize something.< </div>
    Yar.
    Output movie or .motn file contains or refrences unsupported media?
    How about this weirdness: with another Motion project, I CAN import into FC, and, as I expect, it needs to be rendered, but when rendered and played back in the Timeline the whole clip is black and no audio came in as well.
    <
    The audio we've dealt with, it's not coming from Motion.
    But the image is black. Unsupported codec? No, that would be white.
    Try turning off one layer at a time and re-rexporting or re-rendering. Eventually, you will find the layer that's giving your trouble.
    Okie dokie, we're officially stumped.

  • Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

    Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

    Exploter the settings in Windows Media Player. It should tell where it is currently storing files. You can also enable the path column in WMP to see where individual tracks are stored. See also Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.

  • When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?
    What colour profile is the shot?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.
