Issues launching Motion

I keep getting this message...The application Motion quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the Ozone plug-in. What does that mean? Any insight would be helpful.
Also certain applications stall when being lauched. They behave as though they are opened and then freeze the computer. When I try to Force Quit the app will say it's not responding but it takes a while to actually close the app. I baffled by this.

Anyone else haveing issues where Motion 5 performs worse than Motion 4?

I'm having an issue where even simple particle emitters playback slowly. I can create the same simple effect in 4 and it plays back in real time.
I even saved a test file in 4 (which ran real time), and when I open it in 5 it plays back slower. What gives?

I´m having a strange issues with Motion 5 performance:
In my iMac 2010 (i3 @ 3,06 ghz, Radeon 4670 256 mb and 8 gb) Motion 5 is about 20-25% faster than Motion 4.
For example, when rendering the PulseHD Open Motion 4 takes 2:30 mins and Motion 5 takes 2:00 mins.
The strange results come from my Macbook Pro 2010 (i5 @ 2,4 ghz, Geforce GT 330m and 8 gb also):
With the same template this computer takes 3:20 mins in Motion 4 and about 6:30 mins in Motion 5!!!! So near the double.
Even more strange: if I make a ram preview in Motion 5 with this same template and settings that I used in the final render it only takes 2:51 mins and Motion 4 is slower, because it takes 3:25 mins!!!!!!
I forgot to say that in all the cases the render quality was set to normal and motion blur was turned on with 8 samples.
So, it´s clear that Motion 5 needs an update as does FCP X, because in my computers it crashes a lot.

Performance issues with Motion (position, scale, rotate) and GTX 590

I'm experiencing performance issues with my Premiere Pro CC when I scale, position or rotate a clip in the program monitor.
I have no performance issues with playback! It's only, when i move something with the mouse or by changing the x,y-values of Position in the Motion-Dialog in video effects.
Premiere then lags terribly and updates the program monitor only about once per second - this makes it very difficult and cumbersome to work and position things.
On a second Premiere installation on my laptop, performance is fine and fluid - allthough it doesn't have GPU support and is a much slower computer.
I'm pretty sure this has somehow to do with my graphic card, which is a Nvidia GTX 590.
I was told by the support, that it is actually a dual graphic card, which is not supported/liked by Premiere.
The thing is, until the latest Premiere update, I did not have performance issues at all with this card.
I also read on the forum that others with the GTX 590 did not experience any problems with it
So where does this come from?
There is no change in performance whether or not I activate Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
I also tried deactivating one of the 2 gpus, but there also was no change.
Does anyone else know this problem and has anyone a solution?
I'm running Premiere CC on a Win 7 64bit engine, Nvidia GTX 590, latest driver (of today),

I am suffering from the same phenomenon since I updated just before christmas, I think.
I am hardly able to do scaling, rotating and translating in the program monitor itslef - whil motion has been highlighted in teh effect controls.
In the effect controls I can scale, rotate etc however.
Also I have noticed there is a yellow box with handles in teh program monitor. I remember it was white before.
I cannot figure out what to change in my preferences. What has happened?
best,

Issues launching iTunes windows 7 64 bit

Hi people who are hopefully a lot smarter than I am,
I can't launch iTunes on my computer. I've searched the discussion boards and tried all the fixes I've seen suggested and nothing is working. When I double-click on it it does nothing; if I hold down ctrl-shift to start it in safe mode it does nothing; I've repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled QuickTime several times; I've repaired iTunes a million times as well. It isn't showing up in my task manager at all either. The action center just keeps telling me to download the most recent version to fix the launch issue and like I said that's done nothing. I even connected my iPad via USB and that didn't get it to launch and tried deleting SC Info .sidb and .sidd files. Also, it's not responding to my storm of curse words. I've tried so many things I can't remember them all.
I'm not sure if this is related, but a couple days ago the action center already showed iTunes had failed to launch several dozen times and then my computer would freeze when it was trying to load Windows and the diagnostics were indicating HD failure. I booted to a CD of SeaTools for DOS that I had from when my HD failed over a year ago and it failed the short test and found a bunch of errors in the long test but it was able to repair them. I can get back into Windows now but my super good friend iTunes is still holding out.
What I would really like to do is fix it with a hammer, but something tells me then nothing else on my computer will work either so I'm open to any other suggestions. Has anyone else run into this issue and found a fix?

Someone else? asked the same early this AM.
I'd guess your registry was at fault to begin with, and that you need to reset all the program and file types back to defaults is all.
But then look under the hood for why as it is very uncommon and maybe Windows is at fault.
Consider total uninstall AND use Revo and maybe CCleaner 3.12 as well as clean out %TEMP% folder and run chkdsk

Issues with Motion in Using Compressor for a PAL DVD

I am new to DVD Studio Pro and Compressor and am trying to create a DVD of a 50 minute PAL project that I made using FCP. I have found a couple tutorials on how to export my project using compressor to be compatible with DSP via pre sets (DVD: Best Quality 4:3) and actually manipulating the controls myself. I have found in using both techniques that during any scene with motion, the edges of the moving actor become blurred and grainy. The tutorials that I checked out I assume (since they were from the US) were for NTSC projects, is there any other considerations that I should make in compressing a PAL project, which might contribute to this graininess? Any ideas?
Any help would be much appreciated. I have included my settings from Compressor below.
Thanks.

The general concepts are the same in terms of maintaining quality throughout the work process in terms of Codecs, exports etc.
As to the motion areas, compression markers in FCP can help in problem areas. What you should do is grab some of the problems sections and drop markers in there and encode them. Some of the frame controls can help, depending on source footage. What was the original material and cpautred/edited? Sometimes things in there can also give quality hits.
Lastly some things (like real black outfits on light backgrounds) can cause some edging issues which can take some work to clean up as much as possible...

Rendering/playback issues with Motion

Greetings!
I am relatively new on these forums, and I just posted this same question/situation under "Mac Pro" as I am not sure if this is a software or hardware issue.
I'm working on a video project, and trying to apply Digital Juice's R2G Motion templates to my title sequence. The problem is the rendering of the template in Motion is awful. It strains to play, it's painfully slow, and it's impossible to really get an idea of what is going on. Even if telling Motion to take the rendering from "Full" to "Half", rebooting my Mac, clearing PRAM, and having Motion be the only running application, it makes no difference. Playback is practically at a stand still.
The confusion comes when I tried to run the same template in Motion at my work computer. Playback, while still slow, is manageable. It will at least play back the template at half speed "smoothly" enough that I have a good idea what is happening. And in this test, I was running FCP, Word, TweetDeck, and Juicer at the same time. With all that, Motion on my work computer played the template back at a better pace than my home computer.
Here's the breakdown on the computer's hardware:
WORK COMPUTER:
2.66 GHz Quad-Core (4 core)
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4870
HOME COMPUTER:
2 3.2 GHz Quad-Core (8 core)
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 (2 cards)
Both are running Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and Motion 4. And the template is playing better on my Work Computer. Hence, my confusion.
If anyone can give me a good direction to follow, a workaround, or some sort of solution (the only thing I've found suggested is a new video card), I would be eternally grateful. (And no, doing the job on my work won't fly. LOL)
Thanks, everyone. I look forward to the replies.

Struggling with Motion, at present

Welcome to the family.
Your 4870 card is superior to the 2600.
I have no idea what Digital Juice is up to these days but their stock video packages come with h-u-g-e media files that must be rendered using their Juicer app.
Templates often include base media that is ultra-high rez to accommodate any format and the components must be rendered out to your format BEFORE you start working.

Issue with Motion Menu looping in CS6

Greetings all! I have been troubled with a recurring issue in a project I've been working on for a while where my Main Menu (the only one I have with a moving background) will not loop correctly. I am not an Encore veteran so there may be something simple that I'm doing wrong and just haven't caught yet... or perhaps this is some weird bug, I'm not sure. Here is what I've set up and the problem I'm having:
My Main Menu has 4 buttons: one goes to a primary video and the others are 3 submenus... all submenus work fine and can link back to the Main Menu without issue and when the Main Menu first loads, it also works fine with the video in the background playing normally. The primary video linked from the Main Menu also returns to the Main Menu as its End Action. My problem arises when the Main Menu is allowed to reach the end of its video and loops back to the beginning again before navigating away to another part of the disc. When it loops, the background video plays all the way through a second time like you would expect, however the menu is no longer interactive and no buttons can be pressed (the highlight also disappears on the second loop). Following the conclusion of the second loop, the Main Menu doesn't loop a third time but rather jumps randomly to about chapter 2 or 3 of the primary video! I have definitely not set it to do this. I was not sure what to do about the End Action of the Main Menu itself, as the "Motion" tab of the Menu's properties has a drop-down for looping the motion part... thus so far I have the End Action set to "Main Menu: Default". The motion background video is 45 seconds long and I have tried messing with the loop settings under the Motion tab, but it hasn't seemed to make much of a difference, it still breaks. Just for clarification, this is an error which I didn't notice right away because it appears to loop through the menu a second time normally, but the error occurs after the first play of the motion menu. Also, it happens both in preview and when I burn it to a disc.
If anyone else has experienced an issue like this or happens to know what I did wrong, please let me know so I can finally get this DVD project over with! I would be most grateful! Thank you!

Project corruption most frequently occurs because one or more changes are made and Encore gets "confused." But we rarely know why some such changes behave correctly and others do not.
If you must change an asset use a different name, never ever simply overwrite.
This just may be the issue then... Using Adobe's fancy "Dynamic Link" thingy I did edit a few assets after importing them into Encore. Sadly, I think Encore is definitely confused by this as now every time I open my project it prompts me to re-import one of the assets because it detected "changes" when in fact I have not changed it more than once and it is just trying to re-import the same thing over and over. I really wish I'd known to take these measure beforehand as I'm not sure how long it'll take now to rebuild the project completely, but I suppose I have no other choice if I want a working menu... wish me luck!
I'd like to note, however, that the asset that it always prompts me for is NOT related in any way to the Main Menu that is causing problems. It's an asset linked to from a different submenu. Also, I had planned everything out first, but as you might expect, little hiccups appear along the way and things need to be tweaked to have them work the way you want. Or maybe you think to add something later that you hadn't thought of before, it actually happens pretty often.
Still, it seems like Adobe is trying to promote the easy manipulation of assets within projects with the Dynamic Link feature. I really hate how these softwares do not even work the way they should... and yet Adobe charges people insane amounts of money for them.
Is there any good DVD authoring software that isn't so temperamental? I apologize if this isn't the appropriate place to ask... just curious for the sake of my own sanity.

Issue launching Cisco WebEx from Safari after 10.6 install

Since the 10.6 install I found that launching Cisco WebEx from Safari failed - it just hung with the 'Please Wait' message in the browser.
WebEx tech support do not have an official fix for this at this time, but we did go through setting-up Safari to only open as 32-bit, and this appears to be a valid work-around for anyone with this issue.
Go to APPLICATIONS - control click SAFARI - select GET INFO
Check the 'open in 32-bit mode' option - restart Safari
WebEx should now launch ok from Safari.
Hope that helps!
Chris.

William - is 32-bit mode going to cause issues for any other application within Safari?
Just trying to decide if I should only switch to 32-bit when using WebEx, and stick with 64-bit the rest of the time?
Thx.

Kf5 and kde 4.13 cohabitation : issue launching dolphin

After installing the new (kf5) package group from [extra], I went back to my usual openbox desktop. When trying to launch dolphin (kde 4.13 version from [extra]) I got this :
% dolphin
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QString)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QString)
No dolphin windows appears and the program does not exit until CTRL-C.
Since kf5 relies on recent dependencies and the problem was looking related to upower, I did update upower to
aur/upower-git-systemd
and dolphin is now running fine.
The two previous "No such signal" lines are still there, though.

Until recently veromix worked fine but now it doesn't. I think this is the problem:
File "/usr/share/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/pyappletscript.py", line 22, in <module>
from PyKDE4.plasma import Plasma
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v11.0 but the PyKDE4.plasma module requires API v10.1
According to their changelog they changed it for their sip v4.15.5 release http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/stati … /ChangeLog
Downgrading sip, python2-sip and python-sip to [extra] brings this:
File "/usr/share/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/pyappletscript.py", line 20, in <module>
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v10.0 to v10.1 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v11.0
so I guess PyKDE is just lagging behind and everyone else is already using the new thing?
edit: Maybe they made a mistake with their release tarball? I have not tested it, but I got the PKGBUILD from here: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … e/PKGBUILD and made it build from the kde 4.13 branch of their git repository and it works: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=rdjEJ9tU
Well, except for
Error connecting to veromix-service:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.veromix.pulseaudio.qt exited with status 1
But maybe that solves itself after the next kde restart.
edit2: It didn't.
For some reason it doesn't launch some dbus service foobar.
python2 /usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/veromix-plasmoid/dbus-service/veromix-service-qt.py
Then it works.
Also, in the last kde update the former issue with pykde got solved I think.

Issues launching Flashplayer installer file in Windows 8.1

I am running Windows 8.1 and attempted to download Flashplayer for Firefox. The Flashplayer installer will not launch. I only get a gray box, with no action happening.
I have Flashplayer working in IE, but it will not launch for Firefox. Any ideas on what might be blocking the Flashplayer installer from running in Windows 8.1? I already checked to see if it was installed, but not turned on in Firefox, but the plug-in does not show up.

Some very weird issue with Motion tween

Hello, guys! I confronted some kind of weird problem. I uploaded it in fla, https://www.dropbox.com/s/u9bkjiokk51m1o3/landscape_START.fla. Soo, about the problem, flowers in layers 8,9,10 act wrong, when im trying to apply motion tween, they move from their current position right to the hell another one, and i can't understand why. Can somebody explain me what the matter? Because the rest of objects in another layers make it right, when i use motion tween. Oh, and btw, when you make zoom like 50% and less, u can see the workplace consist of gray square in dark gray square, again, wtf? When i make sizes in properties panel larger, it just goes crazy.

Emm, i meant that you should make motion tween by yourself to see that problem with flowers on layers 8,9,10. You just selecting any frame you want, then applying motion tween on flower on layer 8,9 or 10 and then puff, its like screwed up. Well, i tried to copy and replace this flower movie clips, but its always the same. For example, the rest of objects, when you apply motion tween on em, dont changing their location...

Font issue in motion 4

I've downloaded a new font. The font is working fine in FCP and in PS, but in Motion, several of the letter show as dashes or partial letters. Why would this be?
I put them in library/fonts
Thanks

I have seemingly solved this by changing the font extension to TTF from OTF

Issues launching VMWare Fusion 2.0 after Lion install?

Getting the message "VMware Fusion cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program and to access all directories it uses and right to access all directories for temporary files." Other than the Lion install, I have changed nothing on my system. Any suggestions?

Issue was resolved by upgrading to Fusion 3.1 from 2.1
