Motion 5 and Compressor 3?

I have Compressor 3.5.3 (from Final Cut Studio 2) and have recently purchased Motion 5. Prior to Motion 5 I was using Motion 4 and have installed 5 in the way described in these forums to maintain it alongside 4. This means I still have the 'old' versions of all the Final Cut Studio applications.
Within Motion 5, the 'send to Compressor' option just points me to the App Store. Is there a setting somewhere that will allow me to send it to 3.5.3 or is it totally incompatible? (I know I could output from Motion and then re-render in Compressor, but I don't really want the double render.).
Thanks if anyone can help.
David

Hi
Export you Project with the Apple Prores 4444 codec, it'll be just fine.
So you'll obtain a best quality quicktime file compatible with compressor 3.5.3

  • "Motion and Compressor Will Not Open Because Of A Problem"?

    Last week I installed FCS 3 on my iMac and everything appeared to work OK.
    However, as my iMac had been cluttered with rubbish for 2 years I erased the Hard Drive and reinstalled OSX 10.6.3 together with all FCS 3.
    I have only used FCP and STP since then but today I discovered that Motion and Compressor "will not open because of a problem".
    Here are the reports where it appears that in both cases the "Dyld Error Message", whatever that is, reports that "Library not loaded etc. etc."
    Incidentally there are mentions of 14 and 18 crashes since last reports. This is ridiculous as I have only just tried to open them 3 or 4 times in the last 5 minutes . . . . and the computer OS and apps are all freshly installed.

    As I was installing Motion from a backup disk image, I thought maybe the .dmg was corrupt, so after deleting again I put the original DVD in and reinstalled.
    However, it still won't open and the crash report seems a little different:-

    Likely you need to reinstall FCS2 but first you could try this:
    Here is another way without doing a complete re-install. Pay for and download Pacifist.
    1. put your fc studio install dvd in the drive
    2. drag the installer icon onto the pacifist icon
    3. click "skip" for all the media content
    You will see a list of all the install packages on the DVD
    4. Select this one: "Contents of MotionGroup"
    5. Click the "install" button in the upper left of the window.
    6. Only the motion installer will execute and replace all the frameworks, components etc in your library.
    The reason that a fresh install does not work, is that the installer assumes an "upgrade" and leaves the original files
    in the various library directories alone. These files must be replaced and pacifist will save you about a day's worth of re-installs.
    Then there's this:

  • Aperture, iPhoto, Mail, FCP X, Motion and Compressor suddenly kaput!

    Yesterday I discovered that Aperture and iPhoto, which I hadn't used for several weeks, were refusing to open and throwing up an error message saying there was a "problem and they probably weren't compatible with this version of the  operating system etc."
    Shortly after, I discovered that Mail and the latest versions of FCP X, Compressor and Motion were also disabled.
    After searching the internet/forums it appeared that this problem (with Aperture) could be caused by installing FCE 4, which I had done a week earlier and the only cure was to reinstall the OS.
    I deleted FCE 4 and went through all the usual troubleshooting strategies to no avail so I reinstalled OS X 10.8.5 which which took less than an hour and luckily appears to have cured the problem. (I had been dreading reinstalling the OS  as I mistakenly assumed it would wipe all the apps and folders off my Mac ......... but of course it didn't.)
    So has anyone had a similar experience or can shed any light on this?
    Now I have to decide whether I dare reinstall FCE 4 ...........

    Quite a few bug fixes, like the text position bug in Lion has been fixed.
    Here's some from Tim Payton on the COW
    - During Playback, zooming the timeline with the keyboard doesn't send you to the end of the timeline
    - Scale controls on timeline now update live
    - Synchronize Clips now works if you have multiple non overlapping video clips for a single audio clip. (huge!)
    - Preroll and Post Roll settings in preferences work.
    - HDV Footage with "better performance" doesn't look nearly as bad. Way less flashing.
    - Timeline feels much snappier.
    - Timeline index now includes sortable columns: name, roles, & notes, and you can edit the values! (huge!)
    - Zooming on the timeline now really centers on the playhead if skimming off, skimmer if skimming on
    - Inspector updates more consistently to the clip selected.
    - Startup is much faster.

  • Can I use motion 5 and Compressor with Final Cut Pro 7?

    Hi, Guys and Girls:
    After reading a lot about the new Final Cut X I decided not to buy it. I´m not gonna say anything about it, pretty much everything has been said so there´s no point in being redundant about it.
    So my question is this:
    Can I use the new version of Motion and Compressor with the old Final Cut Pro 7?
    I heard the new version of Motion is nice, not so sure about the new Compressor but any improvement would be nice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Daniel Sametz.

    Anyone?
    Can I use the new version of Motion and Compressor with the old Final Cut Pro 7?

  • Artifacts when rending a simple two minute video from Motion or Compressor

    I keep getting artifacts randomly throughout the videos I export, whether i export directly from motion or via compressor, and regardless of which "Share" option I choose or which codec I use (including ProRes - all of them). I've tried literally every preset and even made my own. Its very frustrating because even one artifact messes up the whole video and I have to export it again.
    The artifacts show up randomly throughout the videos so its not one particular asset that is a problem. And sometimes it even exports perfectly except that a video at the end (which is admittedly not from a high quality source) shows up SUPER pixelated. This is just as bad.
    I've spent the last 48 hours rendering and rerendering the videos. Saving as a new motion file. Clearing cache and library files and pram and restarting. Nothing helps.
    This is on top of the fact that I have, in the past, exported properly from compressor (but never from motion for anything more than a few seconds). And I tired this on two computers, one more powerful than the other. One computer is a Macbook Pro w/ core i7, SSD, and 8gb ram. The other was a Macbook air with Core2Duo and 4gb ram. Both of them sucked at exporting the movie. (The air was slower but actually better than the macbook pro.) I'm on the latest mavericks and the latest motion and compressor.
    HELP! PLEASE! I dont know what to do!

    You haven't said if the original video you imported into Motion is MP4 or H.264 or some other highly compressed media. It won't matter what you export if those "damaged" frames are in the original (and mp4/h.264/etc are prone to bad frames at the very beginning and very end depending on how they were prep'd for delivery).
    You should (I'd say always, except I'd be a hypocrite) transcode original media into ProRes (any flavor) before importing into Motion. Check frame by frame if you have to to see if there's any damaged frames (usually there won't be.) I'd highly recommend using Quicktime 7 Pro (it's still available from apple's online store at apple.com) to transcode your video. Others might recommend MPEGStreamclip (but I just can't); or if you have it: Compressor.
    If you have Final Cut Pro X, you'd be better off editing video in that app. You should be designing your Motion "add-ons" as effects, titles, transitions or generators for use in FCPX and leaving the video completely out of Motion. FCPX also takes care of transcoding to prores for you (opt to Transcode Optimized Media when importing.)
    PS - you'll get better performance out of Motion if you use ProRes video. (Same goes for AIFF/WAV audio and NOT mp3.)
    Hope this helps... otherwise I don't know what the problem would be.

  • Motion 5 and compressor 4 with FCP ?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use motion 5 and copressor 4 with FCP 7 ?
    Thanks
    Ivan

    Sort of – by exporting and reimporting as clips. There is no round-tripping. For example, you can't send a clip as a Motion project to Motion4, save and have the clip update in FCP. You'd have to export a clip (or sequence) as a self-contained movie and bring it into Motion (or Compressor), make your changes, exporty and reimport as a clip, see how you liked the result, etc. Much easiier to stay within FCS.

  • Motion. Compressor and FCP

    Really pleased that FCP now supports 720/50p but the ProApps 2007/02 update has broken Motion, FCP and Comprossor. In Motion I can't open the Library or File Explorer. In FCP the Motion Master Templates won't let me drop clips into the drop zones, which is exactaly what I've been doing in my present project. I've tried reinstalling and, if I don't upgrade Motion it works, but if I upgrade FCP to 6.0.2 the Motion templates don't work. Compressor just doesn't open.
    HELP! I'm in the middle of an edit and northing's working. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

  • Recent Software Update - Recommended for FCP X, Motion 5 and Compressor 4 Users

    There is a recent Software Update ("ProApps Quicktime Codecs") that is recommended for the FCP X, Motion 5 and Compressor 4.  Should FCP 7/FCS 3 Users download this update as well, or avoid to prevent any conflicts?

    I have one boot drive with 10.6.8 and FCS 3, and a 2nd boot drive with 10.9 and the FCP X Trial - best to avoid any problems.  Everything is smooth as glass at the moment.

    Does motion 5 and compressor come with FCPX purchase? Is there somewhere that you can buy this in a package if so?

    NNo. there seoarate applications. You want them? Buy them.

  • Aren't FCPX and Compressor supposed to be able to export Apple ProRes 422 LT?  I just bought FCPX and Compressor and there seems to be no way to transcode HDV clips to Apple ProRes422 LT.  Before buying I read LACUG tutorial by R Taylor that says it can.

    Tom is right. Codecs are shared software system-wide ("Core Video"). If you cannot find the option with any software (such as MPEG Streamclip), you won't find it in Compressor or FCPX either. The Quicktime ProRes codecs is part of the FCP menu > "Download Additional Content" you need to make after install FCPX (or Compressor.) These "pro video" codecs are part of all "ProApp" licenses for video related software from Apple (QT7Pro, Motion, Compressor, Final Cut, etc....) [you can also download them here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1396]
    Most articles/tutorials you read by "long time" users are apt to assume the reader has been working with pro-video on Macs since the days of disk installs (like they have). In those days, the installation of those codecs wasn't even really an option (well, it was if you did a custom install - but who *didn't* install all available codecs??), it was automatically installed with the main software. Since the "App Store" venue... things have changed somewhat.

  • Does Qmaster come with Motion? - Compressor does.

    Hi,
    I've been using Compressor 2 with Motion 2, works great. I want to set up Qmaster but I can't seem to find the AppleQmasterNode.mpkg package. I saw a bunch of other Qmaster packages, and installed them, but I can't get the control panel to show up in my system prefs, which would confirm I've done the setup correctly.
    Advice would be appreciated.
    John

    That I'm aware of Motion doesn't doesn't come with Qmaster in that sense. However, if you have if you have Final Cut, it will come with Qmaster which you can then set up and compressor will use Qmaster. But if it doesn't show up in your system preferences then it wasn't installed and you would need to purchase Final Cut.

  • Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro on Separate Machines?

    Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro from the same Final Cut Studio license on separate machines? We hadn't realised when we bought Final Cut Studio that it wouldn't allow this. Our editor doesn't use motion, and while I mainly use After Effects on our motion graphics machine, I was wanting to try using motion for some particle effects. Unfortunately, it won't let me open it while Final Cut is running on our editor's machine. I can understand not letting two copies of same application run under the same serial number at the same time, but it would be nice to be able to use both programs that we own concurrently. At very least it would be good to warn you that this isn't possible in the product description, not in some fine print license agreement once you have already bought the software.
    -Matt

    I do not know of any software, in any platform that can operate from the same license over a network simultaneously.This is the exact reason for the existence of Volume Licensing. If for example a project ran in each one of the included applications from different sources that were not an active network, I doubt you would have a problem.Like, doing a project at work and geting the outcome with the Powerbook at home...Sorta!
