Motion 4 camera

Hi all - I have a 2 mins fixed shot in HD - I added a camera and the sweep and zoom behaviors - all perfect, camera sweeps to the right and zooms in. I shortened the behaviors to 1 minute, the halfway point - I know want the camera to reverse its movement and return to its original position and make the same sweep and zoom to the left this time. I thought I might be able to copy and paste the behaviors and reverse them, but it didn't seem to work...is there any way to do this with behaviors? Is there a better way?
Thanks -

Duplicate the sweep behavior, and reverse out the start and end angle values. These are possitive and negative numbers, so it's easy to swap them out. The middle is when you set both to 0 degrees. It's pretty easy to figure out from there. The "Middle" you speak of is arbitrary. Here's what you do:
Set the Start angle degree, set the end angle degree of the Sweep behavior.
Example: The center of the behavior in the Timing Pane will be 0 degrees, dead center, exactly what you want, only if the Start and End angles are possitive and negative equals (-35 and +35). If you're not using equal + and - values, you'll have to adjust the In point and Out point of the behavior in the Timing Pane to match what you want. Using the Top view in the Canvas makes this very easy to do.
You don't have to "set keyframes" with the Sweep behavior, just set Start and End angle numbers, set the start and end of the behavior in the Timing Pane where you want it to start and end.
Zoom, depends on which one you're using. Zoom Layer uses a target layer, you'd have to reset that parameter. The regular Zoom, you can set negative and possitive Zoom values, so you could just reverse what the original Zoom had. Not enough info to give any details.

Motion camera behaviors not saving or exporting correctly

I love this program. For $50 it is amazing.
But, I am having issues.
I have a pretty processor heavy project with two replicators running video and a camera doing zooms, sweeps, etc.
I can set up the project exactly how I want it, Save, Close. When I open it back up tomorrow I have issues with Camera behaviors not completing their cycle. They were flawless when I exited the program and now when I open back up its as if they are missing some of their data and just stop mid-behavior.
Example: when using a "Framing" behavior it will start its zoom out but not finish it.
Seperate issue.
When I export the project as H.264 or ProRes 422 (or any export), Motion is not performing the behaviors as it did previously.
I can RAM preview the project and everything looks just fine on playback. Then I export--when QuickTime opens it and I play it back to check it--the video make it somewhere in the middle and a camera behavior doesn't complete its zoom out. How can the export be different if the RAM preview is fine and I change nothing????
Motion crashes all the time too which is super frustrating. Man it is such a great piece of software though.....

Anyone encounter & resolve this issue?
Framing behaviors align perfectly on their targets during playback and RAM renders in the canvas, but are consistently misaligned in any "Share" renders. I've tried it with "Export..." and various "Apple Devices..." settings. Incidentally, those do seem to work up until there are a few Framing behaviors on the same camera, (none of them overlap-- if / when they do conflict, the canvas preview is appropriately affected.) I can't work out which action causes the failure, but it will eventually happen in the canvas, too, if I work on the project long enough! Then the only recourse seems to be deleting the Framing behavior. Simply resetting its parameters does NOT correct the weird alignment. Subsequent targets are not framed correctly.

Slow motion camera software for iSight?

Hi there!
I was wondering if there is any software out there that would allow me to record things using my isight camera in slow motion? 100 frames per second would be nice but more would be awesome! This would be really handy as I'm an animator and I'd like to analyze my movements better. If this is not possible, does anyone know of the cheapest digital cameras or camcorders that have features like this?
Thanks in advance!
Simon

I'm pretty sure the internal iSight cameras can't physically do any more that 30fps, and even that's only in ideal conditions. Any cameras I've seen that can do true high speed/slowmo recording are in the $1000+ bracket, but I haven't looked in a while.

Trying to email MVI-AVI file recorded on Canon Digital Still+Motion Camera

Have taken a burst of video motion with sound using my Canon digital camera and want to send it via email so it can be opened and enjoyed
Tried bringing it into iMovie where I chose compression for email
Then I chose compression for Quick time BUT when going back to Entourage where I try to attach the file it says I need to buy Stuffit software first.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

NI Motion - Cam Grinding Machine

We have designed a CAM GRINDING MACHINE with NI MOTION controller 7344, which controls 3 servo motor for each axis. In that 2 interpolated axis are X and C (1.Grinding wheel forward/ Reverse movement and 2. Head stock Revolution). Grinding can be done by giving Speed data and profile data as velocity and displacement to the X and C axis through the controller.
In that X axis carries the grinding wheel of diameter of 300mm. The design data of the cam is Lift in mm for 0 to 359 degrees. Lift given is displacement of the Flat follower.
We have to get the profile within the tolerance allowable. But we unable to get profile because the Lift data is being given to the controller is the displacement of the Flat Follower and we are giving the same lift data to the X axis (which carries the grinding wheel).
All I want to know is how to convert the lift data in to the data for the X axis considering the 300mm wheel diameter and also the wheel diameter will be reduced due to the dressing (up to few microns to 1mm). Will the dressing also affect the Cam profile? Please help me to convert the data.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. I hereby sending picture and hardware block diagram with this Post. The picture is how our machine looks like.

Importing camera data into motion.

Hi,
Does anyone no if it's possible to import 3d camera data from either realviz, boujou or maya into Motions' camera.
Cheers

Howdy,
The folks at The Pixel Farm have made a Motion export module for PFHoe/PFTrack that will write out cameras or entire scenes. As for Boujou/Maya/etc: Motion's project format is all XML, so you could write a script that converts from those other formats into Motion camera data.
I've been debating writing a Maya->Motion converter, as every tracking app supports Maya, so it could be used as an interchange format. I just didn't know how many people would really have use for it.

Motion 4: zooming in with all layers

I'm creating an opening sequence in Motion 4 and I can see a problem coming.
First the white circle draws itself. Then the center photo fades in. Then, one after another, the town names and dots appear in alphabetical order.
The final effect should be a zoom into the center dot, where I'll fade in from black a photo of video's topic, a library.
The dome photo is plenty big...what's on screen for most of the sequence is only about 20 percent of full size. But I can see that I'm going to need to enlarge everything, or have the Motion camera move in on everything, so the dome doesn't simply grow beyond the bounds of the white circle and town names. That's about 10 layers in all.
What would be the best way to do this? Thanks.

This istell excellent advice, absolutely killer.
David Bogie Chq-1 wrote:
Yes. but I might suggest you build this as a set of layers, each a bit closer to or further from the camera--maybe even mask the dome image so there are two copies, an inner and outer circle at different z-depths--and do the camera move as a push in to the dome image. The parallax shift as the camera moves might give you a very interesting effect.

Why your layers won't move into groups is a bit difficult to diagnose from where I'm sitting.
Cameras are what Motion is all about these days. However, just placing a camera in the scene is not going to magicaly make this move work for you. You will need to learn how to use cameras. But, if it's a simple move you've got in mind, the easiest place to start is the camera behaviors.

Motion tracking to create paralax in 3D environments

I'm going to be shooting footage on green-screen and I have looked at the Motion tutorial DVD which shows how to motion track where you would overlay an image onto the source footage (it's the one with the sat nav screen in the car). What I want to do is take a person shot on green-screen and composite them into a 3D environment but lock the environment to markers on the green screen so that it moves with the markers hence creating the illusion that the person is in the 3D space. Does Motion have that capability? Also, any tips for removing the markers (since they won't be green) would be appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance.

Howdy,
Sliding the ground plane around until it stays put is a bit too trial-and-error for me, so I usually pick a feature that is on the ground (a green point, i.e. has a high confidence value) and stick the plane to that. To do this, move the mouse over the desired feature, press the spacebar and select "Move Origin to Feature" in the menu that appears. This will snap the ground plane's origin to that feature, which makes positioning stuff in Motion a lot easier.
As for the export, I think there is a bug, of sorts. If you choose to export a Motion project, it creates a project with the footage and camera already in place. The ground plane is lined up with Motion's ground grid and the camera starts off in whatever relative position (X=100, Y=55, Z=-60). If you export a Motion camera file, the camera has the same relative movement, but it's starting position is (0,0,0), which means that the imaginary ground plane for the shot and the ground grid in Motion aren't aligned, and you're back to the trial-and-error when positioning objects.
So here's what I recommend: use the Motion project export. If you already have a project and just want the camera, copy the camera out of the exported project and paste it into your already-existing project, which will keep all the camera values A-OK.
Another thing that is critical: the project settings must be identical. PFHoe bases the tracking values on the resolution, frame-rate and aspect ratio of the footage. So if you track a shot that PFHoe thinks runs at 24fps with a square aspect ratio and and you bring that camera into a 30fps project with DV (non-square) aspect ratio, things won't line up, time-wise or spatially.
As some encouragement, here's a screencap of a simple track used in Motion.

Creative Live Motion - Vista - no pan and tilt softwa

Everything seems to work. The driver installed perfectly and the webcam center also. Did anyone find or download pan and tilt software for this webcam for vista thanks much

Have found another used Creative Live Motion cam. I guess the one I have has got some malfunction.
Trying to replace some part of my new one from the donor old camera. Will post the result with pictures.
For all the people experiencing extremely slow frame rate, a non-documented and not known fix is simple. Just disable the Auto Exposure checkbox in the camera settings first tab and see the smooth results. Manually adjust the exposure to a reasobable value according to camera placement and enjoy.
Say thanks if your problem is solved.
Thanks.

Iphone 6 slo -mo camera defective

When taking video with the iPhone 6 in the slo-mo mode at 240 fps i get a pink haze on the left side of the screen. The video on playback is also very jumpy and glitchy ( like your filming a strobe light). when you change it to 120 fps it works fine. I took my phone to the Apple store and they replaced the camera in my phone. Back to filming on the volleyball court, camera still doing the same thing. Another trip back to the Apple store yielded a new phone. Another volleyball game, same problem and now a new problem, When I go to camera mode the screen freezes on a blurry screen and won't let you do anything but close out the app. you can't change camera modes or anything. I am so dissapointed in the iPhone 6. I never had this problem with my 5s. This has got to be a firmware or hardware problem that I hope Apple fixes soon. I have been filming volleyball games with my iPhone for years and have never had this problem. by the way I mount my phone on a tripod when filming. Anyone else having these problems.

II'm using the slow motion camera without any proble, no freeze or issues.

Camera Sensor Error Post Production Fix

I have a number of shots which include a sensor error.
A large number of shots from this shoot were dropped due to a slow motion camera error associated with its Current Session
Reference (CSR).
This basically creates a different slightly darker top to bottom on each frame.
The different in tone occurs exactly half way across each frame
Could anybody suggest a post production fix?
Maybe even involving third party plug ins?
I need a fix which would analysis each frame and unify the tone of each full frame.
Even a suggestion to a forum / site which I could possibility find some help on this issue, would be a huge help as I have 200 plus shots
which need to be fixed.
Please find attached an example screenshot
Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion Mylenium. I have tried Re:Match but unfortunately it hasn't fixed the error. Would you have any other suggestions, that you think would be worth trying?

Apps / Game Center / Iphone 6 Plus wont sync

I received my new iPhone yesterday , I synced my "old" iPhone 4s to iTunes , then proceeded to transfer the data to my new iPhone 6 plus. Game Center transferred fine , however when I open a game app , it's starts me, as if I just downloaded the app for the first time.
How do I get my apps to acknowledge game center, and take me back to the games where I left off on my old phone ?
The only thing I like about the iPhone 6 plus so far, is , it's easier to read text , and the slow motion camera.
The Bad : lot's of apps still don't function properly and / or don't work on the iPhone 6 Plus

I solved this through a suggestion for another question. I leave my iMac on all the time and generally put it in sleep mode at nights. I restarted my computer and that seemed to solve the problem. No idea what caused the hangup but a reboot seemed to solve it.

Then perhaps "they" shouldn't comment on things they know nothing about as representatives of VZW?
The reps from the social media team that post on this community don't comment except to say they don't know if or when an update could be released. The phone reps are the same way.
As for me, I'm just another customer like yourself. The difference is that I have seen the pattern for updates for the last three to four years for Android devices through this community forum. The pattern is easy to recognize now and frankly it is exhausting to read the rants for wanting an update to where is the update and on the update messed up my phone then others suggesting to factory reset the phone clear out the leftover old code. The Moto X is just another phone in that long line of devices not just on this carrier, but all the others that support Android, Windows, iOS and BlackBerry devices.

How do I get my Iphone 4S screen to stop flickering and jumping?

My 15 month old Iphone 4S's screen has recently starting jumping and flickering and will not stop.
First began in my camera but would stop when I turned the camera to the front to see my face, then when switched back to the other side it would begin jumping again, (roughly a month ago). Then it started happening in any apps that involved my camera, snapchat, instagram, etc. today.
Now, my screen always flickers and jumps in all apps and when on my home and lock screen.
IOS is up to date.
No cracks on screen.
Continues to do so even after resetting and restoring iphone, and changing my brightness up and down.
Background moving is turned off.
Flickering is worse at the bottom of the screen.
Screen was replaced six months ago.

Sorry I can't help but I literally just posted the exact same thing on this website my 4s screen on camera flickers and jumps and in snapchat and slo pro ( slo motion camera ) will this turn to the home screen aswell I've already had a problem with the screen once !!
