Is 3D file import possible in Motion 3?

Is 3D file import possible in Motion 3?
and
If so what types work best?
Thanks in advance.
Eric

What I thought Thank you for the conformation.
Sooooo the only way to make an object or layer appear 3D in 3 is to add an Emitter with a birth rate of zero and an initial instance of 1 w/ face camera checked. Right?

  • How do I import a pdf file with layers into Motion 5?

    In earlier version of Motion, you could import a pdf file with all layers or even select layers you wanted to import. You did this by dragging the pdf file into the project and holding it until a popup appeard providing you choices for how you wanted to complete the import. In Motion 5.0.1 however, no such popup appears and it imports the file as a flat image file. Any ideas how to change this pelase?
    Thanks
    Greg

    Thanks Ben & Praveen. In FCP7 It was possible to import PDF files and as you did the import, make choices regarding layers you wished to import. FCPX appears to import PDFs but only as flattened files. I'll try keeping the file in PSD format and importing as you recommend.

  • Lightroom 5.7 file import not possible.

    After upgrading to Lightroom 5.7 file import is no longer possible, neither jpg nor raw, neither files from panasonic, nikon or fuji. Error: "files cannot be imported, because they cannot be read". Same error, no matter of using the card-slot or trying to import from hard-disk. So the card-slot is ok, because I can use it for every other operation. Im running a macbookpro with OS X 10.8.5. With LR 5.6 last week everything works very well. What the hell is it?

    Thanks a lot! That´s it!
    It took me a while to understand what you had meant and to find out, where and how to change the default setting. I did not change the preset intentionally before and I´m quite sure that LR 5.7 did not do so. There is a faint suspicion that it was done by an OS X update. Perfectly horrible!
    Thankful regards

  • CS5.5 hangs on file import

    I have been using PP for several versions and have never experienced any major issues until now.  At some point in the last few weeks (cannot link it to a recent PP update, but that may be the case) I have started having extreme problems when importing files.  It started on my laptop, then I experienced the same problem on my desktop.
    I nearly always import .mov files and have had no problems in the past.  Now PP hangs randomly on file import.  It seems to work more often than not if I import one file at a time, but even then it may stop randomly on a file.  If I restart it may successfully import the file it stopped on, or it may crash again.  It is impossible to import a large batch of files at once, so working on a large project is now almost impossible.  I cannot see anything in this forum that relates to it.  I am running Windows 7 an PP version 5.5.0.  In addition my laptop version randomly shows 'pending' against different files - this changes to other files if I re-start.  If I try to re-link it can also cause a hang.
    One other change in my workflow.  I have switched from a Canon 5D mark II to a mark III.  But I can read and edit the files succesfully and play them in other applications, just as with the mark II.  But even with the mark III I successfully imported my first batch of files about a month ago and had no problems whatsoever.
    Any ideas?

    Update
    I have been researching this further.  There is a possibility that this is related to the new container format in the 5D mark III.  This camera now allows high or low compression .mov files to be created.  In the mark II they were all low compression.  The last batch that I created was high compression.  It is possible that PP is having trouble with these.  It still randomly rejects files and randomly reports some as being off-line, yet the next time I connect they are back on-line.  I created a batch of 10 with low compression and they loaded correctly, but have not tested this with a large batch of real files.  I am also checking with Canon to see what has changed.
    If anyone has any further advice or experience I'd be grateful.  In the meantime it seems that the only way I can safely process these files is to run them all through the media encode and convert them to mp4 or something similar.
    Further update
    I am gradually answering my own question here.  For anyone with a Canon 5D mark III you might be interested.
    First batch of footage shot on 5D mk III set to 1080P high compression.  This caused PP and Media Encode (ME) to crash frequently.  Even footage already loaded came back with an off-line message randomly.
    Test set of footage shot on 5D mk II worked perfectly in the same project.  There are no compression options on the mk II.
    Could not convert original batch with ME so used MPEG Streamclip to convert the batch of 100+.  Conversion worked first time.  Import into PP worked perfectly.
    Shot a test batch of 10 with the mk III in low compression and they all imported with no problems.
    This points to an incompatibility between PP/ME and the new 5D mk III low compression format files.  I'll report this as a bug to Adobe.  I have already reported it to Canon.

  • 3D PSD file import : how to change 3D anchor point in AE ? Challenge..!

    Hello everyone,
    I've successfully imported a 3D file from Photoshop Extended CS4 into AE CS4. In AE, I can sucessfully animate rotation of the 3D object.
    Here's the problem : I cannot change the 3D object's anchor point. I've tried changing the anchor point's coordinates on the controller layer of the 3D object layer, the numers change, but the anchor point remains at its initial position, as if it was locked.
    I also thought changing the anchor point in PS Extended before importing the file into AE, but PS Extended does not seem to have an anchor point changing tool.
    So I even reasoned back one step : changing the anchor point in my 3D software since the beginning. Well, not possible because PS Extended seems to create an average position for the anchor point when impoting a 3D file from a third party software. So useless changing the coordinates in the 3D software.
    Photoshop Extended 3D is the only possible workflow to import 3D objects into AE that I know of.
    So, is is possible to change the 3D anchor point directly in After Effects ? What blocks that point from being changed ?
    This is quite a challenging problem, good luck for finding a solution ! I'm very sure that this technique is commonly needed and used when working in 3D, and that it will be of great help for many designers that want 3D in After Effects !
    Thanks again !
    Note : please do not confuse simple After Effects standard 3D layer, with the 3D PSD file import layer, these are two totally different types

    Any further forward with this anyone?
    This is driving me insane as well...
    I'm trying to create a simple comp within AE and have my clients logo fly on behind their text while rotating in 3D space.
    The idea is for it to rotate on the X axis, but rotate within the logo itself (straight through the axis within the logo itself)
    But when I try to rotate it, the AP is about 2.5 "logo depths" away from the logo, so when the rotation of any axis starts it looks ridiculous.
    Are Adobe really trying to tell us that moving the AP is not possible within AE for imported Live Photoshop PSD files?
    Hopefully a solution comes along soon as I cannot for the life of me figure out a workaround to the problem......
    Cheers,
    Paul.

  • When i create a circle in photoshop and import it to Motion 5, it becomes more of an oval shape than a circle in motion.

    When i create a circle in photoshop and import it to Motion 5, it becomes more of an oval shape than a circle.even though the size of the document i worked in photoshop is the same as that in motion 5. which is Pal D1/DV 720 x 576.
    Thanks

    hi,
    check the pixel aspect ratio in both the photoshop file and Motion project and make sure they match too. Or simply resize in Motion until round again. or even easier create the circle in Motion directly.

  • "Embedding OLE objects is unsupported. Use File- Import to import media." Error dialog while concurrently Flash CC executions

    Hi,
    we are using Flash CC an a dedicated windows server with two userprofiles. Each user has its own licence.
    If we run a jsfl script singly, this script runs fine.
    If we run the same jsfl script on both users we get the error:

    I read the article addItem() -> "Embedding OLE objects is unsupported" , but it could not the problem, because the script runs fine singly.
    Could it be possible that both users uses the same Flash CC Clipboard ore are there any other shared modules etc?

  • Importing Stills into Motion

    I'm trying to import stills into motion but it's grouping some of them together as image sequences. How can stop Motion from detecting them as sequences, other than renaming them.

    There's a button at the bottom right of the File Browser next to the "new folder" button. Click that to toggle off "group as image sequences".

  • Understanding File Import Images VS File Import Folders into a Project

    Hello,
    When I select the "File>Import>Images" command, images go straight into my project, no album is created.
    When when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder containing subfolders, it will map the folder to a Project and subfolders to albums. OK.
    However, when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder with NO subfolders, images are put in an Album anyway. Why is that?
    Is it possible to avoid the creation of an album and have images straight in the Project?
    Thanks,

    You're right. Me alone is nothing. But if a high % of A2 users think like me, then maybe this feature needs some polishing.
    The REALLY simple work around is to delete the album. The images won't go with it, and it's faster than retyping the name.
    Good, that's the workaround I needed. For some reasons I was under the impression that deleting the album would delete the the images as well. I guess I'm still not used to that project-album concept.
    You could hit Command + Delete on a hundred Projects and do less work than you've done on this one thread.

  • Importing Video creates motion artifacts

    After days of frustration with Final Cut Pro X (I'm a new user), I've run into a really frustrating problem I've been unable to solve on my own:
    I start with an AVCHD video in m2ts format, which I then "repackage" to .mov or .mp4. Then, I import into Final Cut Pro, and since FCPX doesn't play well with this format, I use the "optimize video" option to convert to ProRes. This takes awhile, but mostly works.
    The problem I'm having is that the imported video contains motion artifacts. That's really the only way I can describe them. Little squares of the video that appear in the wrong place all over the video when something on the screen is moving a lot. If there's nothing much moving, no artifacts, but then as soon as something moves, there's little squares that appear/disappear all over the video and make it look awful. I've tried converting the m2ts to .mov or mp4, then importing, but nothing I can do seems to improve it at all.
    I should mention that the original m2ts plays fine, the converted mp4 or mov plays fine, but once it's imported, it's borked. I thought maybe it was just FCPX, so I exported, but the exported video still contains these artifacts, so it's clearly the import process that is breaking these videos.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I'm really at my wits end about this

    Sorry, let me be more clear.
    I'm capturing video from a tuner card from my XBOX 360 in 720p at 60fps. The resulting video is an m2ts file which cannot be imported into FCPX. The app I use to capture has a function to convert to mp4, but I believe it's just repackaging from m2ts to .mp4, because it only takes a second or two to perform. Also, I use another application which losslessly converts to .mov. This also only takes a few seconds which means I'm pretty sure it's just the container changing, not the video format itself.
    If I import this video as-is, without converting it to prores with "optimize video", the clip doesn't render, and there are green frames all over it, and sometimes it causes FCPX to crash outright. After doing a lot of research, this is a well-known problem as this video format is apparently "frameless" or something (I honestly can't remember what it's called). Anyway, it makes editing impossible. I know if I was using a camera I could use the import from camera feature, but because it's a tv tuner, I can't do that.
    I've tried every playback format I can think of. Full screen, high quality, better performance etc, it's all the same. Also as I mentioned, even when I export it, watch it in VLC or quicktime it has the same artifacts.
    EDIT: I should also mention that I'm at work, but I can post an example when I get home if that's required. I was hoping someone knew what I was talking about, but I can get an example too.
    Thanks

  • Color discrepancy with imported PSD between Motion and FCP

    I've got a Motion project with an imported PSD file as a background element (the PSD was created in Photoshop CS2 for Windows, running under Parallels).
    The PSD file consists of two overlapping curved shapes, one blue, one green (part of our corporate look). The colors (RGB) match our official guidelines.
    I imported the Motion project to FCP and placed it on the timeline, on V1. In FCP, I then used a color generator to create a small blue rectangle which would serve as a border for a slightly smaller thumbnail image that would get overlaid later on. The rectangle is on V2. I used the exact same RGB values for it as I did in Photoshop for the curved shape.
    Trouble is, the blue color in the shape that got imported into FCP inside the Motion project doesn't match the generated color.
    See this screenshot, in FCP:
    http://elamaton.no-ip.com/~jarkko/colordiscrepancymotion.png
    Three blues: leftmost, the color generator resized to a small rectangle; on the center, the shape that I created in Photoshop and imported into a Motion project, dropped into FCP; rightmost, an instance of Photoshop CS2 running in a virtual WinXP in Parallels Desktop. You'll notice that the blues of the generator and Photoshop match, but the middle shape that travelled the CS2->Motion->FCP route is a different shade.
    Narrowing it down further, I decided to import the PSD file directly into FCP (just to see if it'd match - it needs to go through Motion for the final product). Here's a screengrab of Canvas this time:
    http://elamaton.no-ip.com/~jarkko/colordiscrepancy_motion2.png
    Again, from left to right: the generated rectangle, the directly imported PSD, the PSD in the imported Motion project. The first two match, but something in Motion or the Photoshop->Motion route screws up the colors of the blue-green shape (as well as the Työterveyslaitos logo on the top left, also a PSD, in the same Motion project). The blue shade is also incorrect in the Motion canvas, pre-import to FCP.
    What's going on here, and how can I fix things?
    The project settings are PAL DV in both FCP and Motion. No rendering has been done, I'm importing the .motn into FCP as-is.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, deadlines loom...

    First, double-check that your PSD is in RGB, but I suspect it it or it wouldn't even work in FCP. I suspect a gamma issue moving between the apps:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93794
    You might try setting the colorspace in FCP to RGB or adding a gamma filter in Motion to adjust.

  • Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

    Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
    I downloaded a series of podcasts recently.  They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
    However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:
