Motion 4 Text Scroll... jittery movie credits

I'm using the new Text Scroll behavior on some RTF text. I love how it times it perfectly. But the resulting movie looks stuttery. It's 1080/24p. I have Reduce Flicker: Progressive on. I've compressed to AppleTV (to remove any CPU/HD overhead question) and the problem is still there.
It's just not a silky smooth scroll like I would expect.
Any suggestions?

Ah, "not smooth," of course, crystal clear now. You're saying the AppleTV output stutters in exactly the same places as the movie directly out of Motion or does the stuttering drift in time? You know, of course, that if it's constant, exhibits the same vertical displacement in the exact same place, it's the sourse movie but it is drifting, the problem is your drive or your CPU cannot keep up with the bitrate.
You mean the text effect and the underlying video are jittery. Does the underlying video play smoothly all by itself?
Try prerendering the text as a self contained movie. Does it play smoothly in QT or FCP all by itself?
I understand your sequence is probably carefully and beautifully timed. That's not relevant when debugging the effect. Change the time and see what happens to the render.
I cannot play 1080 on my machine without a hiccup. 720 plays smoothly but none of the major 1080 codecs work well from my internal drives.

  • Slowing text scroll without changing background clip length?

    I have an intro to my movie that uses a sound clip from a song.  The sound clip is 30 seconds long, so my video clip must be 30 sec long (the sound actually carries over into my next clip).  I am using the text scroll to flash the title and a quotation onto the screen, but I want it to move at about half the speed it currently is. 
    I have tried slow motion but that doesn't work.  I have also added lots of spaces between lines but it still moves faster than I want.  So is there anyway we can slow that text scroll down to a reasonable speed?
    Thanks in advance
    Pat

    drag the ends of the Title to the length of the clip.
    If this is still too fast, remember 6th grade:
    speed = length + time
    if there's not enough time, it can not get any slower

  • How to make text scroll in a chart/graph

    I am trying to make a small example labview app.
    I need to show a graph/chart with continuous data measurements, plotted over time. So far I have been using charts, since they suit my needs. I have seen though, that graphs are also a possibility. So if a solution calls for that, it might be ok.
    Now I have two things that i dont know how to do. I have attached a picture of what i want to do.
    I need to have time on the x axis, but i can only get it in the end points of the scale, can this be fixed (see the attached picture example)
    I also need to mark phase starts endings. This means I need to have text scrolling along with the plot, keeping a white marker line at the starte point of the phase. Can thios be done somehow? I have already looked into Annotations, but I dont think thats it. (see the attached picture.)
    If further explanation is needed, I would be happy to supply it.
    Kind regards Daniel

    One option with graphs is to right click the graph when the code is running, select "Create Annotation". This will add a label to the graph that moves as the graph updates.
    An alternative, and probably prettier approach, was discussed recently here;

  • Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks.

    Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks!

    It really isn't a well thought out 'gesture' when a normal scroll action can result in an unwanted zoom but disabling SmartZoom wasn't an option for me—one of those with eyes that tire easily when reading very small text on a 27" display.
    For a while I used command-+ and command-'-' to read small text but that isn't supported in some apps and for Safari it often leaves the browser in an less than perfect state when moving to the next page.  I also tried option scroll to zoom the whole display but that was not desirable, either.
    I finally settled on leaving SmartZoom enabled and remembering to double tap with one finger whenever the undesired zoom happens. It happens so often that the double tap is almost a reflex action for me.

  • What's the best way to create basic scrolling up end credits

    What's the best way to create basic scrolling up end credits with FCE. I want create normal look after the film that has a gap between the working title and the name (center-aligned, two-column
    scrolls)
    In the FCE Manual there was a good way to to do it with an asterisk (*) between the the words, but problem occurs when I had an umlaut (ÄÖ) in the word. The asterisk becomes visible and as many umlauts in the working title so many letters missing from the beginning of the name. I'm from Finland and we have lots of umlauts. So is there any other way to do this with FCE.

    You can use Title Crawl in Boris to do this. You set it up like a word processor with a right aligned tab, a gap and then a left aligned tab. Double click in the ruler to create a tab stop. Double click it again to change its alignment. You use the tab key to move between the stops. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you play with it, I think you'll get it.
    There is also Boris documentation on the install disc which will explain it more fully.

  • Need help creating a rectangle with a bunch of  text scrolling up within it

    Hey everyone, I'm using Motion 2 and want to add a large amount of text scrolling up. Which behavior would be best to use, the Scroll up or Motion Path?
    I want to create a rectangle where the text will be scrolling within it but I'm not sure how to do that. I'm I suppose to create a mask rectangle and then add the text?
    Please help
    Thank You

    As with most things there are a number of ways you could do it.
    One way is, if your making a rectangle anyway (as a bkg for the text) you can make an image mask (command shift m) on the text object and drag the rectangle into the mask well (then turn the rectangles visibility back on). This works with a filled rectangle.
    Of course you have to format the text to fit in the rectangle as it won't act as a bounding type area (like in AI, PSD).

  • Need help fixing jittery rolling credits for 23.98 sequence

    I'm working on an DVC PRO HD project shot 23.98, 960x720. I'm working native 23.98 in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and am trying to do a credit roll with both centered text lines, and justified text with the gap running down the middle.
    I've created the text template in photoshop and imported into FCP. After applying the motion settings, the file renders out just fine in 29.97 but low and behold, when I do the same motion settings in my 23.98 sequence, the text is jittery as all... Bad artifacts and strobbing.
    I tried using the Photoshop file in Motion and Live Type using the unrendered file project in FCP. Tried rendering 23.98 in After Effects. No go. Same ugly results.
    Tried the usual in FCP-- appying de-interlace, flicker filter, shift fields, changing the length of the roll and also adjusting the motion points... no help at all. Tried using a smooth rolling exported 29.97 media file into the 23.98. Echk!
    I'm running MacPro 2.66 w/ 3GB Ram. Also have the KonaLHe hooked up to my NTSC for preview.
    Help! Thanks!

    MacPro 2.66 3GB Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Yep, tried all that too. Changed keyframe positions, also changed length of the clip. Who knows... maybe never hit the right configuration. I ended up laying the show off to 29.97 and insert editing the 29.97 credit roll. Worked out perfectly although I'm still miffed nothing seemed to work in 23.98 land for smooth credit rolls. Thanks for the help.

  • Stopping Text Scroll

    I know this is a simple fix, but pretty new to this so need a bit of direction.
    I want the text to be fixed, so when you scroll down the browser it doesn't move, as in it's stays in a fixed position in relation to the menu buttons etc. How do I got about that?
    If you look at this page, you can see how the text scrolls - http://www.dudleyross.com/index.html
    Many thanks!

    Hello
    Use the pin option in Muse to make the object stick to it's position, even when the browser scrolls down. Check this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/35fw89

  • When texting with more than one person at a time the incoming text scrolls to top of the conversation. anyone out there with the same issue?

    while texting with more than one person at a time the incoming texts scrolls to top of conversation. anyone having this issue?

    I've heard claims it can be done, claims some have done it, and claims that it didn't work for them. This thread is interesting, some indications it should be possible, complaints that it didn't, and also an interesting work-around:

    You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:

    Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

  • Is there a way to make the scroll wheel move up and down instantly like you could with previous versions, instead of moving slowly up and down?

    I've only recently updated my firefox to v 15.0.1 after using v 10 for so long, and I was wondering if there is a way to make the scroll wheel move up and down instantly without having it slowly crawl to it's spot?

    you can disable smooth scrolling.

  • Text Scroll Down Widget?

    Can anyone advise?. I would like to insert a text scroll down panel on my site
    rather than having to look at a load of text. If people want more information and read additiuonal text, enavling them to scroll and read.
    Can this be achieved with iweb?
    Appreciated.

    you may want to put the text block in a separate page, then link it to your intended page using iframe.

  • CS3/AS2 -Text Scroll Box Cannot Embed Font, Need To Link Font From Server??

    Hi all - ok here goes somethin
    So I bought a text scroller flash file and am now trying to tailor it to my needs.
    This is it: http://activeden.net/item/dynamic-external-text-scroll-with-easing/2612
    It is composed of several movieclips which link to the an external text file. The external file starts off with this
    mytext= <font color="#000000" size="7">BACKGROUND</font>
    This file determines the size and color of the font but does not define the actual font itself, it also contains the content. There is a movieclip within the flash file where you can denote a device font or embed a font from the properties panel.
    Starting off I simply picked my font from the properties panel and used "anti-alias for animation". This seemed to work fine on the Flash preview and also once published online. However, once I used another computer to view my site the font changed and reverted to a default. This leads me to believe the font is linked to each computers font library. I am wondering if there is a way to override this and to link the font to a place on my server?
    I also tried to embed my font via the properties panel but it looks warped and unrecognizable, so thats out. Unless there is another way to embed fonts that stays true to the font?
    To add more fuel to the fire, the font I have to use is not html safe .. "Gotham" to be exact.
    You can see the issue here on the 'about' and 'links' page
    http://nicoleginelli.com/weeks/index_9.html
    Help meeeeee!

    I tried this but the text looks warped and much different than it should. Seems anyway I embed it in the properties panel looks this way.. any other options??

  • Motion 4: Match Camera to movement of an object?

    I sometimes do this in a 3d program I use and set the camera as a child of the object with movement... Is this possible with Motion? The object with movement is not a video clip.... it is a shape which I animated...
    Thanks.

    Christina, sorry I'm not at my FCP machine today but I know it's possible. I think you're looking for a parameter behavior for the camera. When you apply that parameter behavior, there wil be  well into which you will drop the object you want it to follow.
    I hope that helps, I can't even look it up in the manual.

  • What happens when the scroll bar moves to the bottom by itself?

    When I am browsing, the scroll bar moves downward all of sudden to the bottom of the arrow. When you click on the scroll bar to move the page back to the top, it automatically moves back the scroll bar back to the bottom of the page. I have tried reloading the page, going forwards and backwards, and refreshing the page but it still does this problem. The only way to fix this problem is you have to close Firefox and reopen the browser. Is there a solution?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
