Major motion question for my FCP project

Hey Forum! I think this is the FIRST post I've made for motion, I see some names here, like Patrick S from the Final cut forum...and I've only "just" got into motion: Some background: I bought the "ripple" training series on motion...still learning.
I've run into a "snafu" that I am willing to bet is a simple fix...I just can't find it in Help or in the manual/tutorials: HEREGOES:
I created a neat little animation, two arrows in a ball (very cool working them out in Motion, and very simple too!) . I added a "spin" behavior to it...and had the spinning arrows repel text, then follow a motion path, with cool livetype flowing in behind it...LOOKS GREAT!!!
SO...how the **** do I "layer it" onto my video??? I tried to import the video itesef (.mov) from FCP, but it does not just layer (meaning the black is replaced by the video).... what did I do wrong? HOw do I fix it?
Thanks so much for your time!
Mark

I know this question is answered (and pretty old now) but I stumbled across it whilst looking for something else... and just wanted to check that you didn't have the background set to solid in project properties under the edit menu?
My settings in the general tab of this are background colour: black, and background opacity: transparent. If this was set to solid instead of transparent then you would always have a black background even if you imported your project directly into FCP.
If it was this then please let me know as it'd be nice to think I've actually managed to help somebody. I'm sure though, that you've probably already checked this, but best to be on the safe side.

Is this normal render time for an FCP Project?

I'm trying to determine if i have underlying problems with the computer or something else, because this seemed like a very long time to render.
system config:
G5 2 X 2.5 GHz procs
2.5 G RAM
Raedon 9800 XT - 256 MB VRAM
50Gigs available storage space on the internal drive
Final Cut version 5.0.4
OSX 10.4.4
Project properties:
5 layers
bottom layer: animated quicktime movie
next layer: animated qt movie, with softwipe filter
next layer: Live type imported file: 5 lines of text, with "fade on" effect"
next layer: Live type effect with 3 words, with "horiz blur" effect
top layer: photoshop image.. basically a Lower third graphic, that is 720 X 480, one layer
No audio.. and none of the layers have any kind of keyframe motions whatsoever
18 seconds long
Output: 720 X 480 DV
Total render time: 6 minutes
It seems like since i went from FCP 4 to 5, the render times have inflated... or am i crazy..
thanks

If you're adding any Motion tab effects and your sequence is set to 'Best Motion Filtering Quality', then you can expect render times to be a bit longer than with FCP4. I don't think it's a big jump, though, but I might be wrong about that.
FCP4 used motion filtering quality that is now equivalent to FCP5's 'Fastest Motion Filtering Quality'.
Except for that, you probably just crazy . . . and welcome to the asylum.

Audio question for XL1/FCP users.....

Hi,
I used an XL1 with radio mic and need to know what is the best way to capture my audio.
FCP gives me the option of capturing the 1st 2channels, the 2nd 2 channels, or a 4 channel mix....
Now the first two channels are the on camera mic, the 2nd two channels are the wireless mic.
Is it best to capture the 2nd 2 channels as that audio is more important but I would also like to have the on camera audio just in case of drop outs? So how does fcp capture the 4 channel mix? Is the left side the first two channels and the right side the 2nd two channels or are all 4 channels mixed together with no separation?
Just wondering because if I want both sets of audio would I have to capture the audio twice?
thanks for the replies...
mthespian

That's exactly what I did....Just doing a test of the 4 channel mix was and is useless to me...I need to control the wireless separately to the on camera stereo mix so I captured the audio twice. A little more work, capture wise, but the wireless is great on it own with a little from the on camera mic.
that's for everyone's input....I basically did some tests first and then went from there....

What format should I use for new FCP slide show to DVD project?

I want to edit a slide show movie. I have all of the high resolution images. I plan on authoring the project to DVD 16:9 anamorphic with DVD SP. Later I would like to author to 1920 x 1080 HD on Blu-Ray. ( I can't afford Adobe BR authoring software at this time, I want to start with the DVD) I am looking for advice. I want the quality of DVD and future Blu-Ray to be best possible quality. I'm thinking there are two options I might use:
1. Edit the FCP project in HD 1920 x 1080. Use Compressor to convert the sequence to 16:9 anamorphic for DVD SP input. I am thinking I will have the HD sequence ready for the Blu Ray in the future. I like this approach. Is the conversion possible with compressor? What exact format and frame rate should I use for the FCP project?
2. Edit the FCP project in 16:9 Anamorphic. Compress for DVD SP input. I am not fond of this option. I don't look forward to making rectangular pixel images in Photoshop for one. That will be a lot of work for this project. I won't have an HD sequence ready for Blu Ray in future, I will have to start a new project from scratch to make the HD version.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Edit in a 1920x1080/30p Pro Res sequence settings.
Export that to a self contained movie current settings, and use which ever SD DVD preset to encode for use in DVD SP.
The self contained movie can eventually be used in Adobe Encore for blu ray authoring.
But having "high resolution" images/photos means nothing in video.
1 dpi is sufficient at 1920x1080 unless you plan to pan and zoom, in which case double the pixel size, not the dpi.
300 dpi produces no better image than 1 dpi.

How to make a self-playing DVD from FCP project of 75 minute film.

A Quicktime film has been made in Final Cut. It is about an hour and 15 minutes long. It needs to end up on a self-playing DVD.
Maybe this is a question for the FCP boards (or for DVD SP, which I don't know well): What's the approach to get this project to DVD?---having it look best on the DVD. Are there compression best practices?

Or you may be able to make a Kiosk mode DVD from a QT file / folder using iDVD. (btw ...I've done this successfully thru iDVD6 but I have not yet tried it under iDVD08):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4764361&#4764361
Please note that this approach is the only way I know of to make a DVD (w/in iDVD) that plays by itself and with no menu whatsoever. Hence the DVD will always play in a continuous loop until you press stop or eject on the remote. Or if you prefer you can also use Roxio Toast which has a similar feature.

FCP project creation date

Hi all,
1 have an installation with three MDC Xserves (10.6.2) ,8 Mac Pro clients ( 10.5.8 ) with XSAN 2.2.1 and Open Directory .
The MAC pro clients have Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 installed.
When we modify a project in FCP and save it then the creation date of the file changes to the modification date. This behavior happens only in the XSAN volumes and only for the FCP projects, if we create a text file , edit it and then save it the modification date changes but the creation date is not affected .
Thanks in advance.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

How about using a 60fps video for a smooth slow motion effect in a 30fps project ?

Hey all,
I happen to have a video camera that is able to shoot either in 720p/60fps or 720p/30fps.
As you guessed it, 60 fps mode is very useful for action sports when you want to do some slow motion effect running very smoothly.
I have few questions I would love to be answered, and I was not able to find answers till now.
Here they are :
1/ If I want my final video file to be, let's say, 25 fps, is it mandatory that my project is 25 fps too ?
What will happen if I do a 30fps project and that I export to a 25fps file ? Does Premiere simply remove some extra frames ? Or will it lead to a longer video ? What consequence on the final result if frames are removed ? I mean, will I be able to see any difference or will the difference remain theorical ?
2/ Let's say I have both 30fps and 60fps videos. I set my project to 30fps. If I import my 60fps video to the timeline, it will be adjusted to 30fps and some frames disappear to keep the duration the same. Okay, this is clear to me.
But now, what if I import my 60fps to the timeline, but set the speed to 50% ? Will Premiere apply the 50% to the original file (therefore I should have all the frames displayed on the timeline : 60/2=30 fps), or to the 30fps-adjusted file of the timeline, leading to some jerky footage?
3/ If I want to use my 60fps for slow motion purpose in my 30fps project, would it be a good idea to right-click on this file in the project windows, going to the "modify" menu to set the image frequency to 30fps ?
Because while doing so, if I drag the file to the timeline, I noticed it would last 2 times longer (resulting in a slow motion video) Does that mean that ALL the frames of the original video are displayed ? Can someone tell me what exactly does Premiere ?
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what are the correct settings to chose in order to realise the best slow motion videos as possible.
Thanks in advance !

With due respect... this does not answer my question and does not help me that much , but anyway, thank you for the very constructive answer ^^.
I'm not sure I would even have considered doing this by myself...
I hope I do not get this kind of answer because you feel like my question was silly or unpolite... To my mind this was a pretty serious question.
Shooternz, next time you need to go 150 km far away from where you are, go by feet rather than with a car, I'm sure you will have plenty of satisfaction too. Just cross the fingers for you not to be in a hurry while it's raining outside.
Well, I may be naive but i thought some experts already had the answer to this (I guess I'm not the only one who intend to do some slo mo), and would have been kind enough to share this knowledge with me. That's what sometimes happens in communities.
Please note I do not intend others to do the job for me, I'm just asking if someone already knows the answer.
I asked this question because I couldn't find any documentation about this, and I guess asking on internet was the next step, as testing would be like the last resort, being very time consuming.
It was easy to check the effect of dragging a file to the timeline to see if it played normally or not, but it's definitely not to count and compare each frame of some sample file to find if some are lacking, or have been doubled or what....
I assume I would be very happy with just a simple theorical answer either...
So once again, if someone already has been into such questions, I would really pleased him or her to share or report what they experienced. Thanks in advance.

New Sequence Question - for slow motion video

Hi,
I'm a very new user of Premier. I've recently had issues with choppy playback of my preview videos. After much research I believe the issue was down to two things. Firstly my sequence did not match my input clip, I had it set to my desired output. Secondly, I was editing video across my network, rather than bringing it locally to my PC. I've fixed the latter issue by copying video files to my local machine and then moving them back onto the network once I've finished editing.
The advice out there essentially seems to be to match your sequence to your primary input video. I've done that and it helps. However, it's raised a big question for me. My input video is from a GoPro and is at 1080p 50fps. I ultimately want my output video to be slowed down to 25fps (resulting in a constant slow motion effect throughout the entire sequence).
If my sequence settings are set to match the input clip (50fps) and I slow the video down by 50%, will that result in an unsmooth video? My basic understanding is that if I slow 50fps video down by 50% then Premier will have to double the amount of frames. Where as previously, if I slowed it down by 50% Premier had enough frames to play with as the output video was 25fps.
Hopefully my question makes sense! Any advice on what the best approach is? Or is this a complete non-issue when it comes to exporting the video (providing I export to a 25fps formart)?
Thanks,

I think you said it OK, you are just missing the right words to do what you want. Let's walk through this for you, and for others that might read it later.
If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a sequence created from it, then slow it down 50% it doubles up each frame to achieve slow motion. Not what you want.
If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a 25 fps sequence, it drops half the frames to play at normal speed. Not what you want.
What you want to do is interpret the 50 fps video to 25 fps, then drop it into a 25 fps sequence. Each frame will play at 25 fps and generally be smooth as silk.
I don't have any 50 fps clips handy, but here are examples of taking 60 fps to 30 fps. (Excuse the idiot way that we Americans do things. Our 30 is actually 29.97 etc)
First, right click on the clip in the Project Panel, select Modify, and Interpret Footage. Then change the 50 to 25 - similar to this image:

Remaining questions while evaluating JavaFX for a new project

Dear forum members:
currently I am evaluating the possibilities of next-generation GUI technologies, such as JavaFX, Silverlight and Flash/Flex, for a new project. To get a basic understanding of JavaFX's concepts, I worked through the available online text and video tutorials, and all the treated topics seem quite obvious/comprehensible to me +as long as one is only confronted to relatively static GUI component hierarchies+. But, as a newbie, some questions concerning more dynamically defined GUIs (i.e. dynamic JFX scripting*) still remain.
Application scenario (exemplary):
Say I want to create a "Online Shopping Application" that supports "+ShopOwners+" in *dynamically* defining the "+Shop Model+" structure, e.g. accepted visitor (client) categories, product categories their products, pricing information, payment methods, etc.
Then, based on the dynamically defined model, the shop owner should be able to design and layout the necessary forms, such as order forms, survey/feedback forms, etc. This should be done in "design mode", and there should also exist a possibility for him/her to preview the specification results in a "preview mode".
Finally, the shop owner must be able to save the model and forms on the server side in a way that can requested and run be the shopping app end users (the shop clients) via (another (?)) JavaFX frontend.
_The still remaining questions for this scenario are:_
+1. Is JavaFX appropriate for creating such kind of applications, especially when it comes to dynamic JFX scripting (and compilation) on the client side??? (By now I'm not quite sure if this is really necessary for my plans!)+
+2. Concerning the ShopOwner's GUI with its design and preview mode (and knowing that the latter mode will be the GUI version presented to the shop clients in another JFX module):+
+Is it possible to *dynamically *build up a +Scene Graph+ in a way that lets me handle and *compile* the corresponding +JFX Script+ on the client side for previewing it? Or is a client-server roundtrip absolutely necessary?
How could one persist this JFX Script on the server side? I.e., which intermediary format would be the most appropriate? => XML, JSON, JFX Script?
3. Concerning the "Shop Model", would I optimally create JFX classes or even Java Beans to bind to?
4. And finally: What would be your recommended way (software architecture) to fulfill this task in JavaFX?
Do there already exist some JFX components (dynamic forms/survey authoring modules, etc.) that persue a similar task and that I didn't find yet?
As the clarification of the above-mentioned issues are very important for me, I hope that you more experienced users can help me, pointing me to a practicable approach.
Thank you very much for any help and constructive tips in advance.
Best regards
Martin Meyers

Q1: Do I optimally need 2 different custom components for each treated concept, or do I have just 1 component with 2 internal modes (design & preview/usage)??
E.g., (a) FormSpec widget composed of LabelSpec, TextBoxSpec, ChooseBoxSpec,... widgets each having their preview pendants
Form, Label, TextBox, ChooseBox, etc.
versus
+(b) only Form widget composed of Label, TextBox, ChooseBox widgets, but all having a "design/preview execution mode".+
Closer to (b), I think, though each widget doesn't need to be modified to have design and preview modes. Instead, each widget can be wrapped within a Group to provide the design/preview functions without modifying the widget itself.
The technique is as follows. Given a sequence of widgets (Nodes, really), for each widget, wrap it in a Group that contains that widget but with an overlay Rectangle in front of it. The Rectangle can be semi-transparent, or fully transparent if you prefer. (In the example below I've made it a semitransparent color to make its location obvious as well as to provide a highlight that signals design mode.) The overlay Rectangle is set up so that its dimensions will exactly track the dimensions (bounds) of the widget behind it. I've set blocksMouse to true so that when it's present, the overlay traps events and prevents interaction with the widget. There is a boolean variable previewMode, controlled by a CheckBox, that controls the visibility of these overlay rectangles. I've also added a bit of code to track mouse events on the overlay rectangles so that you can move the widgets around when you're in design mode.
Note that the visible variable differs from transparent, i.e. opacity == 0.0. If a node is visible but is transparent, it is still eligible to receive events; whereas if visible is false, it does not receive events.
Here's some code that illustrates this technique. I'll answer your other questions in a subsequent post.

Best Method For Importing Clips Between FCP Projects

What is the best method for importing clips between FCP 7.0.3 projects? I am wondering whether or not pulling the clips from the Capture Scratch folder is the way to go or will using Import from the new FCP project create a new folder in Capture Scratch with the imported clips? I have a new HD camcorder with different clips for different projects and Log and Transfer makes it so easy to bring them all in at once but now wondering how best to separate them into separate Capture Scratch folders for each project.

well, I simply either drag them in to the new/different project from the finder, or drag or copy and paste between open fcp projects. Never had any problems working this way. Just remember that if you delete a specific project scratch disk folder, you may be deleting media used in another project.

Questions for Senior Project

Hey guys,
For my senior project, I chose Programming in Java. However, my school requires that I interview 5 people on the topic, and let's face it, it can be hard to find programmers to interview in person.
However, I also have the option to do an "Email Interview"..Granted, this is not exactly email, but I believe it's the most direct way of trying to find people to interview.
So, the requirements state a minimum of five interviews...If anyone would be willing to spare a few minutes and answer the five questions below, it will be greatly appreciated.
A Little About You, The Programmer...
Question 1: How many years of experience do you have with programming in Java?
Question 2: How many hours a week do you program in Java?
Question 3: What is the biggest self-completed program you have coded, and if possible, include a brief description?
Now To The Questoins...
Question 4: What concept of programming in Java would you say is most important when programming?
Question 5: What online reference do you find yourself using most often when a Java related question surfaces?
Question 6: What graphics package would you recommend when working with 2D game programming?
Question 7: When saving information into files, what forms of encryption do you believe should be in place to prevent an outside source from viewing the sensitive information?
Question 8: Is there any way, in your opinion, to reduce overhead caused by implementing the SWING package into your program?
That's it. Please post your answers by replying to this or emailing [email protected] . Thank you in advance.
Mike

Question 1: How many years of experience do you have
with programming in Java?Hmm.. Think it's been 6 or 7 years. Since it came out.
Question 2: How many hours a week do you program in
Java?Whenever time permits inbetween meetings, and preparing documents. I would suppose about 10 to 15 hours a week would be a good week.
Question 3: What is the biggest self-completed program
you have coded, and if possible, include a brief
description?Developed a Web Based e-Learning System for about 10K students, and 100+ lecturers of a University in 1997 using Servlet API 0.9, JDBC 1.0, and Java 1.1. Hehe.. J2EE was not available then, so had to develop the entire middleware from ground up. (P.S. Anyone still remember Jigsaw from W3C ??)
Now To The Questoins...
Question 4: What concept of programming in Java would
you say is most important when programming?Proper design, and employ the proper usage of patterns.
Question 5: What online reference do you find yourself
using most often when a Java related question
surfaces?JavaDocs.
Question 6: What graphics package would you recommend
when working with 2D game programming? Not really much of a game programmer, and dun really do much front end coding. But whenever the need arises, Swing and JSPs are most likely it
Question 7: When saving information into files, what
forms of encryption do you believe should be in place
to prevent an outside source from viewing the
sensitive information?I dun usually save my information into files. Usually into the Database. But when there is a need, PGP.
Question 8: Is there any way, in your opinion, to
reduce overhead caused by implementing the SWING
package into your program?Hmm.. It is ultimately design. As crackers said, most IDEs use Swing (or SWT in the case of Eclipse). I think IDEA did a great job with IntelliJ. I am not much of a UI programmer, so can't help you out much here.
That's it. Please post your answers by replying to
this or emailing [email protected] . Thank you
in advance.

PROBLEM Compressing FCP PROJECT into file for DVDPRO

**this is my information...**
I'm EXPORTING a FCP project which is 45 minutes in length. I EXPORT it to COMPRESSOR. COMPRESSOR opens and shows the FILE in up LEFT box where I drag Presets. It gives me the PROJECT NAME but in the little picture box it just shows the FCP ICON. I know when I EXPORT a QT movie of a FCP project, a frame of the project appears in the little box where I drag the presets. This time it doesn't. So I don't know if that's an issue. I'm using DVD preset "DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes". It begins to compress the FCP file which takes roughly 2 hours. I check and it says it's "successful". BUT when I open DVDPRO and import the project to burn there is only ONE FILE not TWO FILES which would be the AUDIO and the VIDEO file. so DVDPRO does not recognize this and it won't burn. What do I do? THANKS for you help. Andy

Try exporting the sequence as a self-contained file using "current settings". This should result in one file with all the quality of what was on the timeline. Make sure this is in a folder located on your scratch (non-system) drive.
Then, open up Compressor, drag in the just created file, apply the "DVD best 90 minutes" preset making sure both the m2v and ac3 compressor actions are included and set the output directory to "Source".
Let it run.
Do you have .m2v and .ac3 files located in the same folder as the original self contained .mov file when complete?

Does motion 5 works on FCP 7 or not?

Hi. I have a very simple question: Does motion 5 work on FCP 7 or not? I've been loosing my time and patience trying to send clips from FCP to Motion or create Titles on Motion 5 to import into a FCP project... nothing works. I can't find any clear answer to this anywhere. My oldest version of motion use to work on perfect harmony with fcp... How can something so simply become so complicated?
Motion 5 manual is ridiculos on explanations about FCP titles creation.
Thanks

You cannot roundtrip out of FCP 7 to Motion 5, you will need to use Motion 4. FCPX and Motion 5 have thrown out the concept of roundtripping. Templates in Motion are now designed to behave as plugins within FCPX removing the necessity for leaving FCPX at all (for most puposes.)
If you need to continue using Motion 5, then you should probably export ProRes 4444 out of FCP (and as for sound, make sure the sound is turned on for the canvas -- there is a "speaker" icon under the left corner of the canvas next to Show/Hide Project Pane.)

OH, kind geniuses...
it boils down to this...I'm very FCP friendly...production is done...I'm aware of "compressor" issue...one question tho
...is it easier to compress thru Quicktime movie or the
standard compressor functions when project is completed...
BOTTOM LINE...is it possible to crank out a standard DVD copy of a completed FCP project QUICKLY/ EASILY...thru
DVD STUDIO PRO? i've went thru the manuals for ALL, and am
affraid I'm reading T.M.I. into it... THE question..."is there a simple Wham-Bam-Thank You-Maam way to get a simple
DVD copy from a completed FCP project THRU, (the dreaded)
DVD STUDIO PRO??? I don't need to re-learn digital electronic theory...just crank out a gawl-dern DVD I can
present to a perspective employer that needs a FCP editor...
"much gnashing of teeth & lament",
thanks folks!

including "live-type" graphics)....we don' have no marks....
we don' need no marks....we don' got to cho you any steenking marks!!!!! (Alfonso Bedoya from "treasure of Sierra Madre"..adaptation)...I love that guy/scene...back to the problem at hand...waaaay too involved it seems, my
friend....tho, I high 5 you for the extensive work & effort.
I'm lookin' for quick & dirty...did get a response that basically gives me that...still left out some "see spot run"
info that my "little grey cells" aren't absorbing...I'm
sure it's MY ignorance & comprehension skills that are in question here...I guess I wanna' get outa' th' gate & grab th' hole shot before I dial in my ride...like I said..."see spot run"....another try would be appreciated but not necessary...thanks for you're valuable time...
they're in.......everybody's eggs...
DOH!....
