Hello All;
I am looking for a couple of really cool lower-third templates/tutorials that I can use in a project. I'm new to Motion and I need something fast.
Your position, skills, and needs are mutually exclusive.

There's your solution, buy them. Then figure out how they were made after your need has been satisfied.
While there is nothing absurdly difficult about their templates, motionvfx charges good money because they've done excellent work. You could replicate several of the items for sale if you have many days to not only learn how to drive Motion's interface but to control its many nuances. It is in the subtle and skillful manipulation of the extensive controls and behaviors that allow the competent user to elevate their work beyond the pedestrian.

Macbook air keeps 'looking for networks'

My Macbook Air keeps 'looking for networks', and the upload speeds are slow -- should be 50 plus, are 25-30 mps.
Upstairs, my iMac gets 60mps upload and 30 mps download. So Verizon is providing what they promise, its just
that the MacBook Air seems to have a bit of a problem.
Verizon has done what they could to tweek the system, and it make make a small improvement -- from 20 to the 25-30 mps.
The tech suggested, politely, it was time to talk to Apple, and I will make a Genius appt.
But I was wondering if other with MacBook Airs had had this problem of the computer constantly 'searching for netsworks'.
Thanks,
Hal

Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced then select the Wi-Fi tab.
Drag your network to the top of the list.
Select: Remember networks this computer has joined
Click OK.
Keep in mind, everytime you click the AirPort icon in the status menu bar, it will automatically "look" for networks.

Looking for detailed literature on Aperture3 color management for fine art printing

I am looking for a coherent , cohesive book or tutorial on Aperture 3 color management capability for fine art printing. Thanks.

Sad to report: does not exist, or if it does, is a closely held secret (by, imho, a coven of eyeless warlocks).
Color on OS X is likely -- just imho -- going to go through a transition which is not going to be helpful, in the short term, for Mac users for whom color is a vital part of their work. X-Rite has, afaict, cast their lot with Adobe. ICC profiling looks like a dead end at this point. Apple is either going to have to leap-frog the competition, or use their technology.
One of the best resources I know is North-Light Images. Up-to-date, Aperture-specific, authoritative information on printing is rarer than superb photography.

Can't select "Variable Speed" for Still Image Motion

I am using FCP 5.1 to add motion to still images. I've placed my still images on the timeline and added the appropriate keyframes in the Motion tab of the Viewer to Scale, Rotate, and move the stills on screen to my liking. But the speed is locked to "Constant," and I want to change that.
Specifically, am rolling a still image on-screen, freezing it in the middle of the screen a few seconds, and then rolling it off-screen. Doing this is easy: I just add a keyframe and type in the off-screen coordinates, then add another keyframe and type in coordinates somewhere on screen. But I want to vary the speed that the image rolls on-screen, so it moves on-screen quickly but then gradually slows down until it finally stops (freezes) in the middle of the screen.
Unfortunately, the "Setting" popup menu under "Time Remap" in the Motion tab of the viewer is grayed out and locked to "Constant Speed" (and yes, my still image clip is indeed selected and being displayed in the view). I cannot figure out how to unlock that popup so I can select variable speed.
I can choose Variable or Constant speed just fine for any imported "video" clips -- only still images are locked to Constant for some reason. Is this just a feature limitation of FCP 5? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Why so much sarcasm in this FCP forum, Studio X?
Yes, it was in the manual, which by the way is quite large. And I didn't say how long it took me to spot that in the manual either -- a long time. I didn't spot it the first time I had read through that section (yes, I had read it before). And the fact is, you didn't know it either, otherwise you may have cared to point it out (for not only myself, but for others reading this forum too).
I participate in numerous other forums on other sites. Many times, people ask questions that are very simplistic to me -- I know the answers and I know those people putting forth the questions could easily have looked up the answer. Nevertheless, I take time to be helpful to others. For truly, some day I may be in their shoes, lacking time to read every part of every manual out there.
I am therefore thankful to those who likewise respond in a tactful manner to my queries, with the productive aim of helping others rather than condemning them. Thank you, David Harbsmeier, for being consistently positive and very helpful in this forum!

Exporting variable speed slo mo to Motion for optical flow, how?

Greetings,
I have FCP 7 and Motion 4. I am new to using Motion. I want to either export a variable speed clip from FCP to Motion and add the optical flow feature, or build a variable speed change in Motion, but I can't figure out how to do either!
The 20 second clip is in reverse-slow-mo, and progressively gets slower (from -38% to -4%) as set in FCP using keyframes. When I "send" the clip & it opens in Motion, the in-out points aren't recognized, (the whole unedited clip shows up) and when I set the timing to "variable" in the inspector, (under "timing", for time remap) the clip disappears in the timeline altogether.
I've also tried to create a QT of the clip as 100% but in reverse (just to have less to build in Motion) but I cannot figure out how on earth to use the graph in Motion (under time remap, variable speed) to create a variable speed change to progressively slow down. This is the key issue for me-- how to create variable speed change in Motion??
I tried one other thing in Motion, the "add behavior", and added "Speed Change", couldn't figure out this method either-- how to make clip progressively slow down, and also how to apply the optical flow to that speed change (seems optical flow only works with time remap method?) Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Although it does occur, the media isn't ALWAYS mangled... did you try workflow 1 above?
As far as I can tell from your description, baking the speed change in before sending to Motion is not going to work as the clip will already be retimed.
I agree, changing versions mid project is a bad idea. When faced with this recently, I bought a $50 500gb hard drive, installed Leopard and the new version of Final Cut Studio onto it, booted into that drive, opened up a COPY of my project in the FCP7 and did what I needed.
I found no issues, so just continued in FCP7. However, if I did find issues, I would have done only what I needed the new version for, then rebooted back into the drive with FCP6, opened my original project, then imported the results.

Looking for a specific tutorial

I just got Photoshop Elements free with a Wacom tablet and I would like to tinker with it. I've always wanted to take a photo and edit it so that everyone has the same person's head just as a gag. I was wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials that show how to go about doing this sort of thing.

Looks like we'll have to put the miracle status on hold for a bit...that's not the article he's looking for. I've seen the same one before, and I'm pretty sure it came from Mark Spencer. He demonstrates the use of the Motion 3 "motion-tracking" tool by shrinking the head of a guy walking across a parking lot. Pretty cool tutorial and not at all the same one in the link above.
Wish I knew where I'd seen it, but I can't recall at the moment.

Looking for a specific tutorial I can no longer find

Folks,
Before I purchased FCS 2.0 I saw a tutorial online that I didn't bookmark and now I can't find it. So if anyone can help me locate it, based on the description, I will be very grateful!
It showed how to automatically track a subject. There was a guy walking in a parking lot and the effect applied was that he had his head shrank and there was some fine tuning on the effect so that the motion was smooth. He was walking from right to left. Does anyone know where this tutorial is?
Sorry for posting this here but I've been searching like crazy and can't find it
Best regards,
Ismenio

I'm looking for a video of a good, comprehensive demonstration of what Motion 5 can do.

All I can find so far are tutorials... any suggestions?

I don't know of anything like that. What have you not been able to figure out from the Apple web page for Motion? It looks like you are using Final Cut Pro X, all of the titles, generators, transitions, templates are created in Motion. Companies like Ripple Training and MotionVFX create plug-in tools or templates that are built in Motion, so those are good places to see the capabilites in action. I know these are brief, but here are some overviews by training companies that discuss what Motion can do:

http://www.rippletraining.com/categories/apple-pro-apps-tutorials/motion-5-tutor ials/getting-started-in-motion-5.html
Other than that, maybe you can explain what projects you might want to use Motion for or what capabilites you are looking for?

I have 300 stores and I'm looking for a global QOS config that would shape/policy the bandwith based on a % of the detected ISP link speed

Hi,
We have 300 stores with mostly the same router config.
The router in each store is a cisco 891 router capable of doing QOS.
Each of our store is connected to internet through a local Internet Service Provider (ISP). They all have different ISP.
Each store has different Internet plan with different speed, some are DSL, other are using cable modem.
The connection between the router and the modem is 100Mbps. But the real speed after the modem will be different depending of the Internet plan the store is using. Exemple : 20Mbps download / 2Mbps upload.
I'm looking for a standard QOS config that would be put in each routeur and that would shape/policy the bandwith based on a % of the detected ISP link speed. The goal here is to prevent a single desktop computer of the store to take all available bandwith of the ISP link because of youtube , cloud photo upload, etc.
Because the wan of the router is in the modem at 100Mbps, I cannot use this bandwith indication for the % calculation. The ISP link speed (after the modem) is much lower than that.
In other words, I dont want to set specific qos value or bandwith manual value in each of my 300 router. Especially because the ISP speed is not the same in each site, it's a big job and it's changing all the time. Stores owner boost their link, etc.
So, Is there a way within the router to detect the Wan real max speed and to assign dynamically % of the deduced value and assign it to different policy-map rules, etc.
regards
Jonathan D

I'm unaware of any (one) "built-in" feature that will do what you're desire. (BTW, I don't believe PfR, as mentioned by Matt, will do what you desire either, but I've haven't used it in several years.)
I was looking to address a somewhat similar problem several months ago, and believe I could construct dynamic QoS shaping using an embedded device script working with IP SLA monitoring. However, the "problem" site (using a cable modem) closed, so I didn't pursue it further.
An alternative approach would be to use as few policy models as possible. For example if there are sites with 2, 3 or even 5 Mbps uploads, you might use a 2 Mbps shaper for each. Of course, sites with more available bandwidth won't obtain the full advantage of it, but your maintenance support will be easier. Conversely, especially for cable modems, running under their nominal speed might provide much more predictable performance, as HFCs are generally much more variable in their actual available bandwidth, moment to moment.

Imovie frame speed adjustment for stop motion

Now I'm on imovie 10.0.6, I can't seem to get the software to let me adjust my frame speed.
I'm working with stills, that I want to edit into a stop motion piece for some of the film, and show other images as stills for other sections.
The speed editor is greyed out, as is the FF option. Also, the duration is showing in seconds, where as in old imovie i would go into the preferences to show frames per second.
Any one overcome this issue and can help how I get the functionality I need?
thanks

your workflow is - sorry to say that - a bit ... inconvenient
the usual workflow is: record using some plain green or blue background, create matte/key new background in, color-process video.
'matting by hand' skips 50 years of video-processing ...
you can accomplish that with iMovie, Motion or FCPX. iM and FCPX come with a bundle of 'presets' which allow similar coloring/contrasting/de-saturation as pixlr. FCPX for sure allows much more, in detail manual manipulations of color, although the 'video' tab in iMovie11 offers enough 'knobs' to create the few looks pixlr offers. Motion wouldn't be my first choice, as the app's name implies, it is basicly not meant for such simple color-corrections.

Exporting variable speed shots looks terrible

I have a project shot with a Canon 7D. Made all the shots AppleProRes 422 and edited that.
When exporting (Cureent settings)2-3 shots that I use variable speed look like ****. They seem to become interlaced and different fields appear. There is no problem with other shots that are speeded up but without any smoothing at beginning or end.
whats even more puzzling is that there are some shots that I used variable speed that look just fine, no problem at all!
how can I address an issue of that sort?
thank you
how can anyone taggle that sort of issues

The usual answer is to render them externally, export them, reimport them into the timeline.
When you export from the timeline, new media is created, sometimes referencing the original files, not the rendered media from your timeline. Guessing there is something odd about those shots, a change of settings on your Canon or during the transcode to to PR422, regardless of how unlikely that may seem to you.
Try opening a new, empty sequence. Make sure the sequence is set properly. Go back to your problem sequence, select all, copy, ad paste into the new empty timeline. Render.
Suggest you take one of these shots and experiment with it all by itself. Try using Motion's speed controls. Render the movie, import that back into FCP.

Looking for a particular color correction tutorial

I am looking for an online tutorial on how to do color correction if the video one is working with has color bars. This happens on a lot of analog videotapes that come to me. I know what my scopes are suppposed to look like when analyzing color bars, but I need something that shows me how to get from A to B.
If I Google some varient of "color correction video color bars," all I get is information on calibrating monitors.
I am using Premiere CS5.5
Thanks in adavnce for any response!

Looking for a simple drag & drop apps to slow motion a Video?

I'm doing a project with school kids that involves numerous iterations on building small structures out of balsa wood and taking them to breaking point to discover where the weakness lies in the design.
I'm a FCPx and imovie user, but would really like to find an application where I can just take a video clip and run the app to take the video clip and slow it down.
I'll have to do this maybe hundreds of times and do it almost real time while showing the kids.
I'm looking for someting quick and easy to use..
Does anyone know of such an app.. 'easy slowmotion' or someting like that.
Thanks fo any help!

I would say, iMovie or FCPX are simple slowmo generators…
I'm doing a lot of sports-video - so, slowmo is of highest interest here.
Best practice and still unmatched: find a cam, which records in HFR/high frame rates; there are some cheap (99$) Canon compact cameras (still with ability to record video), which offer 120fps up to 1000fps … but in a small resolutions.
There's no need to 'process' such recordings, just playback with normal speed 25/30fps = slowmo.
ALL other methods to create slowmo out of 25/30fps recordings involve processing!
… where should the additionally needed frames come from?
Features like OpticalFlow (FCPX, Twixtor) need tons of computation = no 'instant' effect.
So, when you have no access to a designated 'slowmo cam', the fastest, only and most simple method is, to playback frame by frame: open your video with QuicktimePlayer.app, and step/hit cursor-right repeatedly.
