Is there a Motion "How To?"

I'm new to motion, so is there a how to guide/tutorial around that shows kind of how to get started and some cool tricks? (other than the demo)

Don't be surprised when you discover the most valuable resource for obtaining information regarding Motion 3 is the Motion 3 user manual.
Just google "RTFM" to learn more

  • Imported video has strange squiggly effect when there is motion

    Hey everyone,
    I am trying to edit and put together a video from our honeymoon. I am brand new to macs, and the whole editing business. Unfortunately I have a Samsung SC-MX10 camcorder which is dreadful as far as mac compatibility goes. According to my research, it saves video in the MPEG-4 format using the SEDG codec.
    So I finally was able to get all the files onto my mac (iMovie doesn't sync with the camcorder) and they are all .avi files. I downloaded Perian and I am able to view the files with quicktime. However, getting them into iMovie was a different story.
    With much more research online, I downloaded QTAmateur which is supposedly a free version of QuickTime Pro, and I have several video converting options available. Among the list, I chose to convert them to quicktime videos. When I open up these converted files in QuickTime, they work perfectly. HOWEVER, when I import them to iMovie, they suddenly have this strange "squiggly" look whenever there is motion in the video. It gets really bad, and i don't want to have this in my final product. Does anyone know why it is doing this, or how I can fix it?
    If anyone can figure this out it would be AMAZING!
    THANKS!

    That's DV video for you - it runs at 13GB per hour. Your cam highly compresses the video to the MPEG4 format, which actually is detrimental to the quality of the video image.
    Onu Marx stated that iMovie HD would give you better results. I think he meant to say iMovie HD6 and you may see some difference, as 08 uses single field processing, which eliminates every other line in a frame, whereas HD6 uses the whole frame. iMovie HD6 is a free download for owners of iLfe 08:

    If you are unhappy with all this extra work you need to do to edit from the Samsung, I suggest you look for a new cam, preferably a miniDV tape cam with firewire, which will work seemlessly with all iMovie versions and give you great lossless DV right off the bat.
    With reference to your question - "Is there no other format . . . NO.

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • I have a video that is 1920 x 1080 14.99fps, when I load in Premiere 1080p30 it appears to be moving in slow motion, How do I fix that?

    I have a video that is 1920 x 1080 14.99fps, when I load in Premiere 1080p30 it appears to be moving in slow motion, How do I fix that?

    I am having the same problem, which I can explain a little better: A clip which is actually 29.97 fps (verified using QT properties) is importing as 1/2 framerate, or 14.985 (rounded up to 14.99) fps. This happens with several of my clips, regardless of the import method used (drag/drop from OS, right-click/import, or use Media Browser). I cannot interpret the footage back to 29.97, as doing so doubles the speed of the audio (an interview) making it unusable.

  • Blurry/Scanlines where ever there's motion when rendered as Windows Media

    Hi,
    I'm using PrE 9 and trying to save/share/render my clips as Windows Media -- as it seems to have the best compression without sacrificing video quality too much.
    However, no matter what I set the quality settings to, I get motion blur - more like horizontal scan lines where ever there is motion. If there's no motion, quality is fine. It only shows up, when there's motion e.g. hand gestures or head movements produce it and it's quite visible.
    If I use the MPEG setting, I get perfect quality. Clearly it's a setting somewhere in the WMV preset. I used the HD 720p 30 preset to export my clip.
    Any idea what might be causing these blurry scan lines where there's motion?
    P.S. My footage is shot as 1080i using my Canon Vixia HF200 camcorder.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    It's the HD 720p 30 setting. Exactly what oRBIT1975 said.
    I rendered the same project as WMV at different settings. If I export it at HD720p, I have this issue. I also rendered it as WMV at 1920 x 1080 and the artifacts were gone.
    I captured the footage using my Canon Vixia HF200 at 1920x1080, 24Mbps quality and 30 fps (PF30). So I figured HD720p 30 would be a nice way to downsize the footage. I really want to be able to bring the size down because my videos are for web and don't need the full HD size or the huge file size that comes with it.
    One idea is to capture my footage at HD 720 but I'm old school and I always try to keep my footage at highest possible quality because I can't predict what I'll do with them in the future e.g. what if I want to make DVDs out of them. So I really want to keep my "input" files at the highest possible quality I can, given my current equipment.
    I do want to get to the bottom of this issue. Looks like lowering the frame size to 1280 x 720 is producing these interlace artifacts because I keep everything else the same. Is there a way to fix this issue and still export WMV's or will I simply have to export them as MPEGs because MPEG at 1280x720 produces nice results.
    Thank you all for your help.

  • I just installed the latest version of iTunes to get the updates and new software on my iPod but it hasn't updated my iPod or put any of the new software on there either.  How to I get the software to sync onto my iPod?

    Are you sure it's not 6.1.6?  If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch.  Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.

  • Besides Maya, is there another Motion Software for Autocad2015

    esides Maya, is there another Motion Software for Autocad2015

    Are we just going to be left in the Wilderness until some PC Software Program decides that there is a market for Mac's... Until recently Autocad decided to start supporting Mac Users but not to the extend they support the Virus Plagued Breaking Down PC/Window Crowd... Is this going to be an unsolvable Problem until there are no more PC's left... That will be awhile...

  • Is there compatible motion driver for LabVIEW 8.6?

    Is there compatible motion driver for LabVIEW 8.6? The latest motion driver seems to be 7.6 and it only support up to LabVIEW 8.5...

    If you buy LabVIEW 8.6, you will also get 2008 August Driver CD.
    NI-Motion 7.7 driver should be included in it.
    Or you can wait for a while.
    I guess NI will put on Web these days.
