Is Motion 5 downward compatible to Motion 4?

I am just a beginner in Motion and started learning Motion 4. But it seems, that I will receive some Templates in the Version 5. Is it possible to open and work with the projects of Motion 5 on Motion4?
Thanks for your answers!

No it's not possible to open Motion 5 projects in Motion 4. Motion 4 will not let you (you'll get an alert that the project was created/saved in a newer version of Motion.)  You can, however, adapt Motion 4 projects to Motion 5. For "straight" Motion 4 projects, you can pretty much get the same results from Motion 5, but there will be a few "gotchas" depending on what's being translated. Many people have reported problems with "looping" projects not matching up exactly. I personally have noticed other minor problems... a wrong setting here and there... nothing major so far, just a very few annoyances.

  • Please help - Motion trial checker says motion cannot ..  graphics card...

    Motion trial checker says motion cannot be installed graphics card... I have 2 graphics cards: both NVIDIA Geforce 7300 GT in my Macpro 3Ghz... I am using only 1 card with a vga monitor. It says my graphics card does not meet the minimum requirement for motion. but it does. I tried it with a different monitor but I get the same error please help

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Motion compatibility checker...well, that's an old app!! You're probably looking at the wrong place-at the Motion for PowerPC pages.There used to be a trial for Motion version 1 and/or 2 but both will not work in an Intel processor Mac. The Universal binary version ( 2.1 and later ) has been integrated into Final Cut Studio and there's no trial or checker for Motion since then.
    For specs-that you definitely meet-look here: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs.html

  • None of the iPhone interfaces are downward compatible

    Over the past 4 years I have bought 9 iPods for friends and family for gifts. I got an iPhone for Christmas. It seemed like a great follow on product. But, I was surprised that it did not work with the tape deck adaptor that I have for my truck. I was surprised that it did not work with the iTrip in my friend’s car or any of my iHome devices. I assumed that it was an oversight by Apple that was not downward compatible with their proprietary interface. So, tonight I bought a Bose head set $179, an iCarPlay $80 an iCassette for the truck $24, Guess what, 2 out of the three don’t work. I had to return the iCarPlay and the Bose head phones because it seems that they don’t not work with the industry standard mini jack. That just isn’t right. It’s not even Apple’s standard to tamper with. This s by far the worse case of embrace-and-extend standards abuse that I have ever seen. It would make Bill Gates proud. Oh, BTW: Apple sells the Bose headphones that work with the iPhone for an additional $20, for a cool $199, just half the price of the iPhone!

    I have read if they had wanted the jack to not be recessed, the phone would have had to be thicker at that point, and they weren’t willing to compromise the shape — specifically the thinness — of the design.
    Now do I believe everything I read no, but...

  • Are fmb downward compatible from 11gR2 to 11gR1?

    I havn't read anything about fmb compatability. May be I've missed something.
    Nevertheless, I have a problem.
    I have upgraded part of our development systems to Forms 11gR2 (runs pretty well!).
    But, production environment is still 11.1.1.2 and trying to compile an fmb (edted and stored with 11.1.2 on Win7) with 11.1.1.2 (under linux) ends with frm-10043: Cannot open file (not FRM-40012: Form was created by a new version of Oracle Forms).
    Tryiing to open the fmb with Builder 11.1.1.3 gives the same error message.
    A possible work-around is converting the fmb to xml using frmf2xml and convert it back to fmb before compiling it. But there are forms for which it is not working, at least not with 11.1.1.2 as target platform.
    So, here my questions
    Should fmb be downward compatible?
    If yes, what's going wrong? All forms are using olb, plls und mmb; some of them use webutil, but that not the point to fail.
    Is it a question of version and it will work with 11.1.1.4+?
    Ideas to the work-aroung with xml? Should this work anyway?
    thx

    Should fmb be downward compatible?No - because there differences in the binary code written by the Forms Builder.Yes, typically ... and it's mess!!! I have customers still on 10gR1, so I have to keep some devlopment environments on version 9. The rewrite of 9, after 6i not to mention.
    But I remember notes of that fact in the doc. I didnot find them this time.
    And, I'm confused about the simple frm-10043.
    Is it a question of version and it will work with 11.1.1.4+?Yes, within the same Forms release - Forms are upward compatible. In some instances, even older releases are upward compatible. For example, Forms 11g will compile and run a Forms 10g forms binary (.fmb). However, going from Forms 6i to Forms 9i and higher requires the Forms binary to go through an upgrade process.That's not the question.
    Upgrade to 11.1.1.4+ is not an option, when I'am on 11.1.1.3 and the last version is 11.1.2. At least not, if there are no mature problems.
    The question is, is there donward compatability from 11.1.2 to 11.1.1.4+? Following your explanation, no. Do you know or is it a deduction of your general knowledge?
    Because another work-around could be to develop under 11.1.2, just open and save under 11.1.1.4+ (to upgrade a single workstation would not be the problem) and tp deplay under 11.1.1.3.
    Ideas to the work-aroung with xml? Should this work anyway?Try converting your Form to an .FMT and see if this will work. Theoretically, it should work since you are working with the same Release of Forms and the "Binary-to-Text" conversion writes the definition of the Form in text and writes the PL/SQL as Hexidecimal. If this doesn't work then try converting to XML and back.I didin't mention that this is not working. I thougt it as obvious, that if you get frm-10043 you can't open the form for fmt conversion either. The only way I found is via xml. With problems, at least when reconverting with 11.1.1.2; 11.1.1.3 seems to be mre robust.

  • Can't open motion 4 project with motion 5 !

    When I open a Motion 4 project with Motion 5 I get the followwing message : Le document « origine.motn » n’a pas pu être ouvert.
    meaning the document can't be open ! Any ideas ?

    There is something wrong with the file.  Normally Motion 5 can open Motion 4 project files.  Open in Motion 4, Save As, try again.

  • FCP Send to Motion - clips missing in Motion

    I have a sequence I'm sending to Motion for tweaking and rendering. The FCP sequence has Templated transitions at chapter markers (templates I built in Motion) that work fine in the sequence. When I send the sequence I don't get the option to embed the Motion transitions unless I select all the clips in the sequence first - when I do that the Motion project only contains the first transition - none of the other clips in the FCP sequence appear. If I send the sequence from the project bin then all the clips arrive in Motion, except for the Motion templates.
    A few other details. The FCP sequence is a chopped up screen recording session at 1024 x 768 in the Animation codec. All the clips have been conformed to 29.97 and play fine in FCP. I'm sending them to Motion as they are intended for 640 x 480 MPEG on DVDs. Some of the clips are time remapped in FCP and play fine but render terribly. Motion does a great job of scaling and time remapping the clips (unlike FCP) otherwise I'd just render from FCP.
    Anyone have a solution?

    Thanks Peter,
    I can't find anything in User Prefs that would apply. After pushing the Send to Motion button in the "Export Selection to Motion Project" pane, if I leave "Embed 'Motion' Content" selected, it fires up Color. If I deselect the check box, and leave the clips as is on the timeline, it fires up Motion. It seems like an XML transfer bug. But I seem to be the only bonehead getting it. Which suggests user error.
    Thanks again,
    Bear

  • HT201108 Transferring Motion 4 files to Motion 5 Project

    I have recently purchased FCPX and Motion 5 having used FCP Studio for several years. My first attempt to transfer  a FCP7 project to FCPX using "7 to X Final Cut Pro" was partialy successful however, none of the Motion 4 files in the project would transfer.
    Can't find information in the Motion 5 manual so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
    Ray B.

    FCPX unlike FCP Studio does not allow you to open Motion Projects whether they are from Motion 4 or 5. In other words there is no round tripping in FCPX. You can open your Motion 4 projects in Motion 4 and save them as a Quicktime movie and import that to FCPX. Motion 5 will open some Motion 4 projects but not all since Motion 5 doesn't have all the same behaviors, filters image units etc.If the Motion 4 project opens in 5 you may still have to make some editing adjustments.Motion 5 has templates for transitions, titles, effects and generators that allow you to create those types of projects and publish them to FCPX and they will appear in the appropriate tab in FCPX effects browser. So if some of your Motion 4 projects fall in one of those categories then you might try that approach. Other wise save them as Quicktime movie and import to FCPX.

  • BOXI upgrade - are client tools downward compatible?

    Hi,
    We currently our BOXI Dev and Prd systems at 12.1.0.882 (3.1, no SP?).
    Now, we plan to upgrade our Dev system first to 12.3..xxx (3.1, SP3, FP1), including the client tools on my PC. 
    However, I will still need to work on the Prd system while we test out the upgrade - is the new client toolset downward compatible to our non-SP environment, or will I need another client toolset (or another PC with the new toolset) to access both enviroments?
    Thanks!

    You may face issues if the client tools do not have the same version as your server. The official recommendation of SAP is have the same version for all business objects components (server, client).
    This means that there is no garantee for downward compatibility.

  • Is there a youtube that shows MOTION 5 doing 3D Motion with Objects, not Text?

    Is there a youtube that shows MOTION 5 doing 3D Motion with Objects, not Text? Here is an example of WHAT I want to do.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thMyEKXG65Y    This is ME and my demo youtube, which shows my FX work using an Old G5, and Final Cut Express that is at least 6 years old. All of these effects were 100% REAL objects, energy, etc. NO CGI at all. I have a MAC PRO now, yet unused as I need to buy software.
    So What I want to know [and can't find yet on my own], Does Motion 5 perform these same kind of 3D Motion Effects OR Does the New $299 dollar Final Cut Pro does these same kinds of motions, that I demonstrated in my youtube??  I'd like to know of someone else's youtubes that shows motion anywhere close to the complexity of some of my shots. A few were 100 layer composites. Thanks much.
    Below I checked an operating system, just guessing. I don't think that matters to my question.

    Hi,
    You can't do the masking that you'd require to achieve these effects in FCPX alone. You can buy plugins that will help. look for SliceX and TrackX which are excellent.
    Motion does allow you to mask very complex objects and scenes though so this might be your first step. Altough Motion can animate objects in 3D space, it does not deal with 3D objects, merely 2D planes in 3D space. You can import 3D objects and animate them with hep though, look for the excellent mObject from motionVFX, still in its infancy but already very usefull.

  • Downward compatible SCs

    Hi togehter,
    simple question for the most of you:
    - are differnt SP-Versions of the NW2004s SCs SAP_BUILDT, SAP_JEE, SAP_JTECHS downward compatible?
    - if yes; where can I find this information which SP-Versions are compatible?
    - if no; where can I find this information too
    Concrete: We want to deploy a SP10 developed SW in a SP12 Runtime.
    I know the article <a href="/people/marion.schlotte/blog/2005/10/25/jdi-software-vs-jdi-content Software vs. JDI Content</a>. But it does not give me the exact answer...
    Thanks and best regards,
    Marco

    Hi,
    note 891223 does not explicitly mention that SP-versions must be the same, but for 6.40 the base SCAs were only available in a single package, thus it was rather obvious that they should be imported together. For 7.00 the note only says that the archives must be downloaded separately.
    But as the others already mentioned: you really want to use the same SP version as the target server, especially if you are using Web Dynpro.
    Regards,
    Marc

  • How compatible is Motion 5 with Adobe After Effects CS5.5?

    If I create a project in Motion 5, am I able to export this project so that it is natively importable into Adobe After Effects CS5.5? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    The two will not read each other's project files.  You could try an XML export, and import that into AE.  Audomatic Duck makes translators for this type of stuff.

  • Any motion game compatible for N97 mini,.plz sugge...

    are there any motion sensing or gyro sensor games for N97 mini??

    There are already several threads on here about Mac compatibility with the N97 series.  Have a look through them to see if anyone has found a work-around.
    You'd be best advised to check compatibility of products with Macs before buying as they don't seem particularly well supported by anyone, especially Nokia.
    Although they are working on a Mac version of Ovi Suite 2, I doubt it's on anyones list of priorities.
