Missing Master templates

I researched this and found some answers, but here's a new issue. When I go under "Preferences", I have no "Destination" choice! Now it may be hiding somewhere, but there are no templates in the bin selection, and now I am stumped. Help please?

I would contact Apple with your proof of purchase, and request replacement discs. Certainly, if you purchased a volume license, you shouldn't have any problem getting Apple to locate the serial number from your proof of purchase.
The templates can be reinstalled from the original installer discs.
If they don't reside on your boot drive, then the install was wonky and has to be redone.
Make a claim on your insurance policy, if you want, to recoup the small amount for the replacement discs.
Not certain what you mean by a download for the templates. FCP is installed from the installer discs which include the content.

Master Templates missing on Final Cut 7

I am running on Lion, and installed final cut pro 7. But master templates are missing. Is that because master templates are not compatible with Lion?

The usual cause of not seeing Color Correction is the user is looking at the the wrong clip or has applied the CC to the wrong version of a clip.
For CC not to be working, none of your effects would be working.

Missing Master and Derived Roles

Hello All,
I have got an odd scenario and I am hoping some of you might have run into the same issue or might point me to the right direction.
Back ground
We are on ECC 5.0 and have Master Derived Concept, and then Derived Roles are grouped in Composites
We recently( Last week ) created some ( say 34 ) Derived roles and some (10) composites using a combinition of the newly created derived and some Old derived roles.
Transported The derived seperatly and Composites seperately. Transports went successfully into QA and PRD.
This week we noticed that all of the 34 derived roles are missing in DEV ONLY along with 28 Master of the 34 Child Roles. All the Childs and master still exist in QA and PRD.
We have tried to look up the change Doc of the missing roles or the profiles or the authorizations of the missing roles and there is no change log under suim. Change Log shows when the role was created but nothing after that. According to Basis transports does not have any unusual log
Since its a DEV system so no delete transports have come into DEV, therefore delete transport could not be an option.
I have also uploaded one of the missing master roles from the PRD to DEV and it is succfully established the relation with the childs. I was hoping it might shake up the Change History regarding missing role but it did not, It now shows when the role was created earlier( 2006 ) and This week agian but no Delete History
Any Ideas on how to explain this behavior

Another possible and imaginable human error worth looking into is that at some stage in the past a transport request was created for the master and child roles -- okay.
Then the child roles were "broken" by changing org. levels and other fields in the authorization maintenance, so the roles themselves were deleted with the intention of creating them again from one of the "template" child-roles --> okay, seems reasonable to have happened.
Then (here is the problem!) someone released the transport before the new child roles were created. This is interpreted by the system to be a deletion transport of roles.
Additionally the sequence of the transports might have added additional obscurity to the issue and now, much later on, someone imported the transport into production which deleted the roles.
<conspiracy_theory>
The person then deleted the transport request from the queues and archived the change documents in SU83.
</conspiracy_theory>

Can't see Master Templates in FCP 6

Hello,
I'm trying to view my master templates in FCP 6. Both the user templates that I've created in Motion 2 and the factory templates that come with Motion 3 are showing a white screen when I try to open them in the viewer or the the timeline. The other computer in the studio has the same stats as mine and is able to view the templates. Am I missing a setting?
Thanks,
eric

Open IE Control Panel, select Java (if you can't, there's a problem with the Java install), select Advanced tab, expand <APPLET> tag support, and click IE. Click OK.
Close all IE windows to reinitialize IE, then try the applet.

Problems viewing Master Template after being added

Hello,
I am having an issue viewing a motion template after I have inserted it into my sequence,
I choose "Add master template..." from the Sequence menu, select one, and then click insert. The template appears directly in my time line and the viewer shows the parameters that I can adjust. I click to play the template and all I see is black and not the sequence.
It has an orange line over it in the time line, but even if I render it, when I press play in the timeline or canvas or even the viewer the template/movie will play, but it is a blank black screen.
In the canvas there is a blue/green line around the screen.
Any thoughts on something I am missing here? I would imagine I am making a newbie mistake.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I was on 6.0.1 with 10.5.1 and the issue went away when I upgraded to 6.0.4 and 10.5.4. This is because they made changes to the Motion integration in 6.0.2. It's worth noting that the feature is still not 100% stable in current versions and will still occasionally crash.
You can get the update manually here (you will need your FCS serial number at hand):
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/
It's actually better to download the update manually because Apple deletes old updates whenever a new one comes out, so it's worth keeping a stable copy on your system just in case.
You will probably need to update QuickTime too, in which case QT 7.5.5 is recommended as people have been experiencing problems with QT 7.6. You can get old versions here:

I am having issues placing digital pictures in master templates in FCP 6

Hello everyone, this is my first post but I have been using Mac's for some time now with basically no issues.
I have two major issues:
First off, I am trying to place digital pictures which are enormous in the master template drop boxes, when I do this it cuts off the top and bottom of the image but the image still looks clear. The pictures I am importing are 1200 x 1800 jpg files, and were shot with a Canon EOS 30D. What I did was take all the images I needed and used Motion Pictures from Toast Titanium 8 and made a slideshow which I then exported as a QuickTime movie. I didn't know how to encode it so I used the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec and the dimensions were set to 3240 x 2430 since I thought that should give me the best quality image right?
Anyway, after doing this I have imported this QuickTime movie into Final Cut Pro and then I cut it up and placed little clips into each drop box. This makes it so I can see the whole picture now, but it still is not as high quality as the original pictures.
So, I have tried many times to export this master template with the pictures in the drop boxes and the finished QuickTime file looks terrible. I have not changed anything in the settings and when I export the quicktime movie I keep all the settings the same.
What do I need to do to get this to look better? Any ideas?
The other thing is that I have noticed a big reduction in quality from when I have the unrendered master template with the digital images in the drop boxes to when it autorenders after I have been away from the computer since I am stressing from this.
I am trying to take these pictures of high school basketball players and use the master template to have all the players pics and names come flying on the screen before the game comes on.
Any ideas? Why is the quality so bad? Am I doing something wrong? I have searched throughout the forums and found little information for digital images being imported into master templates, and I do not know if I am using a lossy format or something?
Any help is extremely appreciated!

Digital pictures are no different than any other still images, or movies, for that matter, as fas as Motion or FCP are concerned, they're just pixels.
Your image are way too big for video. Even if you're doing high def, you're scaling them down to fit many on the screen. Thye don't need to be an larger than, say, 1k on the long side.
You blew them up by a factor of 300% to get them out at 3240 x 2430 so now you've made all the pixels bigger than they used to be, you haven't added any pixels. Now you're biring that huge movie into FCVP and scaling it down by a factor of about 90%, wasting huge processing time and muscle and tons of disk space, totally wasted, and every scaling operation has introduced tons of artifacts.
Throw it all ways. Batch your photos through Photoshop to change them all into 1k jpegs and start over.
The templates are fun places to start but the mattes are (mostly) designed to crop and scale. so if you have images that are huge, they just get scaled to fit. You want to start with an image that requires the least amount of scaling.

FCP 7.0.3 Crashing/Not responding while importing master templates

Hi
I have Apple Motion 4 , Apple Motion 5 and Final Cut Pro 7.3.0 in my old mac mini. All were working fine (Not sure about FCP7).I recently installed some Master Templates (Motion 4 & 5) under username1. Now when I try to drag and drop master template to FCP timeline its showing the spinning wait cursor..and its not loading anything even after one hour.
One interesting thing is FCP master templates are working fine without any issue in other logins like username2.
I would like to mention some points here
1. Motion 4 installed under root folder so it will be available for all users
2. Motion 5 installed under username1 so it will not be available for others
Is there a solution for this issue..i tried trashing preference and all..but no use.
Pls help me
Thanks,

How to apply a master template in a built webI report

Hi Experts,
I have around 60 webI reports already built in WebI (BO 4.0 with BICS conection). Now, my client wish to change the lay out in order to adapt to new visual requirements.
I was wondering if is there any way to apply a master template and minimize the effort because for while the unique solution for this is change the xml file.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance,
Eduardo Moreno

Hi Eduardo,
Master template or Template is npt possible for Webi reports in BO 4.0..

Working in FCP6, open a project, sequence not showing ANY fonts from motion master templates. Start new sequence and they appear fine. Whats up with it?

So here's what I've got: one of the first gen Intel Macbooks with 2gb RAM, running a fresh install of FCS2, fully updated. I pulled out my external with my project on it (saved in the same version), that I keep my demo reel updated on. I've always used the motion text master template files to label each clip and for some reason, this round the text isn't appearing. Let me be clear just how weird this is: the template file will show up in the viewer, but any file set in this sequence will be blank. If there is any graphics to the file, IT shows up, but not the text. I opened up a new sequence and and first added a new master file to it, and it showed up on that sequence. I then went to the old sequence and copy/pasted the clips in it to the new sequence and the text shows up as well. What is up with the original sequence that is causing this issue??? Any thoughts? (unfortunately, my copy of Final Cut is a "Not for Resale" (NFR) so I can't call in for support.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Miro,
I was just experiencing a similar problem today. In my situation I was getting the diagonal lines and the new project wasn't actually being trimmed, it was the same size as the original with all of the media from the original project .
It turns out that even though I was selecting 3 specific sequences out of 20 the Project Manager was ignoring that selection, it brought over those 3 sequences but all of the media from the other sequences. I think this is what was creating the problem.
The trim unused media box (or whatever the check box says) was greyed out.
My solution was to create a new clean project and import the 3 sequences I wanted to create a new trimmed project from.
Then using the Project Manager everything worked as expected, the project was trimmed down and there were no diagonal lines. I unchecked the "rename media" option, not sure if that was necessary part of the solution.
This seems like a bug to me, we shouldn't have to create a new project, it's an extra unwanted step and clutter on our systems.
Hope that helps!
I'm on Mac 10.8.5 and Premiere 7.0.1, eagerly awaiting to update once the bug fixes to the bug fixes are fixed.

Master Template Drop Zone Causes Frame Offset Problem

I created a template in Motion with two drop zones. When I use it in Final Cut as a master template, and drop in two video clips, the clips are offset about 4 frames from the originals. I can see this when I toggle the template's track on and off to see the underlying clips that got dropped in from my timeline. The cut points don't match up to what winds up in the template's dropzones for some reason.
This is a problem, because I'm using the template as a transition between full screen and a PIP-type effect.
The weird frame offset causes a visual glitch that I have to correct by adjusting the start/end points. This is extremely time consuming, as I have to apply the template to a huge number of clips.
I'm using the latest version of Final Cut Studio.

Just discovered that the frame offset increases the further I am into a clip.
I took a part from the beginning.. frame offset = 2 frames.
Took one closer to the end of a 4 minute clip.. frame offset = 14 frames.
The video is encoded in ProRes422 at 29.97 fps, and the Motion template is 29.97 also. Any ideas?

Changing Fonts in Master Templates

I apologize in advance, this is pretty basic stuff and I'm sure its covered in the manual but I am up against a deadline and I normally never deal with Motion or Master Templates in FCP but its a client thing
I just want to change the font of a Motion Template. I laid the template into my Timeline and did the open as copy thing which got me into Motion. I'm stumped there. There must be an easy way to change that default font. I've tried changing the font of the "Title Info" I've tried creating a whole new title but I can't seem to erase the default and get my own, or I can only change the fault of one of the titles
Any help would be greatly appreciated

In the Layers tab, select the text layer you want to change. In the HUD, change the font.

Can DW apply a 'master' template ACROSS sites?

Hi,
I'm using DW8.02 to manage several sites.
While each site does have its own 'local' template in the
Templates directory, I want to implement the idea of a 'master'
template that applies to ALL sites. This master template will
contain stuff common to ALL my sites, and each individual site's
template will be nested within this master template.
What I'd really like to be able to do is to define this
'master' template once only (in one of my sites) and have it update
ALL sites (not just the one I've defined it in) when I change it. I
can't find a way of doing this -- does anyone know how to, please?
The problem I seem to be having is that DW seems to treat different
sites completely separately, and that there seems to be no notion
of considering other sites during template updates.
(I know I could have a duplicate copy of the 'master'
template for EACH site, but then I would have to update it in
several places whenever there are changes!)
Many thanks in advance, and I hope someone has an idea about
how to do this!
Kind regards,
Nick

Master Templates is crashing FCP 7, In Maverick

I just updated my iMac from Lion to Maveric. I was very disapointed that all the Master Templates HD are crashing FCP 7. Its amazing that Apple did not fix this issue with FCP7 upgrade. To get FCP X is out of the question.
Is there a solution thanks.

Have you tried trashing your FCP Preferences? This is a common first step when you get unexpected performance from Final Cut Studio components.
You can download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) and it will do it for you:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Your preferences will be reset to default settings the nest time you launch the applications.

Missing master files in Aperture

I am missing master files from Aperture 3. I rebuilt the library with no success.
Oddly, I can't even find them in Time Machine even though I know I exported versions of them. The entire month of imports doesn't ever appear in Time Machine even though I have proof that I used the master files to export in July. I haven't used Time Machine a lot so maybe I'm missing something.
What else can I try.

Have you checked, if the missing masters are inside the Aperture Library package?
Sometimes Aperture looses the connection to managed masters.
You need to find out the exact date that you imported your images - you can find that information in the "Import Session" metadata tag - ad this tag to one of the metadata preset that you use to display the metadata in the info panel - set themetadata preset in the info panel to "edit".
Then open the Aperture Library package (ctrl-click the Aperture Library in the Finder window) and select "Show package Contents". Inside the window that opens go to the "Masters" folder, then inside to the year , month, day you imported the images. Are the original master image files still there?
If yes, then make a backup copy of these images, to have a copy just in case, and try to repair the permissions in your library with the library first aid tools:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
If you cannot reconnect the missing originals/masters this way, reimport the masters you found inside the library.
Please post back, once you looked inside the library, if the masters/originals are still there.
Regards
Léonie
