Motion 5 glitching screen when exporting

I was exporting a color corrected shot from motion, when the screen went bezerk. The progress bar said the export was about halfway done, when it suddenly glitched the whole screen into this glitchy, pixely purple wavy thing! Heres a picture to tell you where I'm coming from:
Part of the progress bar was still visible, and I managed to click different parts of the screen, which opened different menues, where I finally managed to force quit motion. But I tried a few more times, along with restarting the computer, but it always seems to glitch when I export. plus, if I let the export finish, the finished export is all glitchy too!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!! I have a late 2006 imac, with isight, and 2.5 gb of RAM, and a outdated memorycard??

I think that may be your problem. According to this, that doesn't look to be a supported graphics card: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4664.

Motion Travel Template problem when exporting to FCP - image looks jittery

The still-frame pics I put in the Travel Template of Motion look distorted, "jittery", when the image scrolls across the screen during playback on the timeline sequence in Final Cut Pro. I exported the file from Motion as a Quicktime movie and imported the file into Final Cut. How do I reduce the "jitters" ?
Thanks!

Poor Quality in Wide-Screen When Exporting HD to Quicktime

Hello all...
I'm working on a fairly large project in iMovie HD with wide-screen footage from my Sony HDR-HC3 and have hit a wall.
I can't seem to get a good result when I export clips into Quicktime in a wide-screen format. They are a bit choppy & you can see bits of some horizontal lines. The same video exported in full-screen VGA looks great. Any tips...? I basically just want to make good quality QT movies watchable on my computer that maintain the original aspect ratio (and LOOK like they do in iMovie!)
The entire project is around 100GB and I currently have almost 40GB of free space. Any help appreciated!

What do you need to end up with? Just a file to play back or burn to a DVD or make a web stream or?

Motion is constantly crashing when exporting a huge project

Hi Folks,
I just started with Motion a few weeks ago.
After making a lot of rookie mistakes, I think I got the basics now.
Motion opened up a new world of working with videos for me.
But I reached a point, where playing around does not help any more.
I need some advise from a skilled Motion designer.
My question:
Generally - What are the limits of a Motion 4 project regarding size and complexity and how I can expand it.
In particular - How can I produce a video of my really big motion project.
My small problem:
When working in Motion, I have to watch the memory usage (I use "istat menus" for this).
When memory becomes almost used up, I save the project then close and re-open Motion.
In the meantime, I have a detailed knowledge of the actions that I should avoid to maximize
the time between the close & re-open actions.
This helps reducing Motion crashes. I think Motion has a bug with memory handling somehow.
Although working with Motion this way is exhausting, this is only my small problem.
My big problem:
Motion does not export (render) my project. I don't mind waiting 24 hours for the result, but there is no result.
Motion 4 always crashes after some time. Typically after 4 to 5 hours. The whole computer gets stuck,
the only thing I can do is recycle power. I can not show the result of my work. All I can do is blame "the software".
For this I need a solution, and I need it ASAP!
What I did so far:
I tried everything. Really…
I do not run any other software parallel with Motion. No Mail, no Safari, no nothing -> this helps a lot while editing !
Disabling render options motion blur, shadows, reflections and DOF helped in the beginning when the project was not finished.
Reducing quality helped in the beginning but I did not tried it again because the results are unusable.
Trashing preferences with "option-CMD Park+Ride" did not help.
Deleting the preference file did help making the software more responsive. Almost no beachballs after that.
Repairing permissions…. Checking filesystem… playing with preferences… nothing helped.
Then I was at a point, where I was mentally prepared for the ultimate step:
I wiped the hard-drive and installed Snow Leopard and FCP from the original DVDs.
Did not help. (BTW this takes a whole working day and half of the night).
Of course, I always apply the latest updates and patches.
Last night, I ordered a new iMAC (27", Quadcore, 8GB Ram) to be sure it is not a hardware defect.
Unfortunately its ETA is 2 weeks.
The machine I am actually using: 24" iMac 3,06MHz core2 duo with 4GB of RAM and GT130.
About my project:
length: 42 seconds
Format: 720p50
Contents: approximately 10 greenscreen videoclips 720p50 ( 10 to 20 seconds long) with Primate RT filter, 100 images (PDF), 500 rectangles.
Camera: one camera with 8 non-overlapping framing behaviors.
plugins: some filters from noise industries and FxFactory. No dubious untested 3-rd party plugins.
Untested ideas:
- Output parts of the project and assemble them in final cut. (I got this idea 1 second ago while writing this post). Anyone tried this?
- Single-stepping through the project and capturing a screenshot of every single frame (42*50 = 2100 oh my god!) Maybe by using a macro?
- Using a new computer with faster graphic-board and more RAM. As far as I know, Motion is a 32bit application and can not address more than 4 GByte of RAM. Also it will not use more than one CPU core. Will it help anyway?
- Installing some secret Pro-App beta-patches to fix Motion. Are there any? If so, how to get them?
- Searching for some hidden file that lists the filter, action or object that caused the last crash. Maybe I only have to rearrange or remove something to make it work perfectly.
Anyone out there who has experience with complex Motion-projects ?

I gave it a try and replaced all *.pdf files by *.psd or *.jpg files, keyed all video clips outside of Motion and replaced the original footage with the assigned keyers, despillers and color-correctors by ready-to-use ProRes4444 files. If this changed anything, then it was very subtle. Without "shadow", "reflections" and "depth of field" applied, I can export the project. This takes 40 minutes or so.
With this three things checked, Motion crashes (see below). The final export also needs to have lights enabled and maybe motion blur.
My big hope is, that the 27" iMac can handle it because of its 8GB Ram and the 4870 Graphics (arrives on Feb,10 thumbs up). The iMac I am using now has only GT130 and 4GB Ram, maybe this is too weak? Otherwise I have to split the project into pieces an assemble them in final cut. There are no cuts, the whole thing is one flow which makes this idea difficult.
Here the latest crash report (although I dont think it makes any sense to anyone but hope dies last):

Pink screen when exported mpg is played

when I populate my timeline with video clips and audio and effects, it seems like the render bar is only over the effects and the odd clip, so when I export my project and try to play it the whole screen is a pink color except the effects and the clips that have the render bar over them, it doesn't matter wether the bar is red or green. I haven't had this problem before, what could I be doing wrong?

Thanks for the reply, I am a newbie to video editting and don't really understand how it works, but I shoot the video on my Sony HDR-SR1 camera and upload the clips (.m2ts files) to my computer, then I import the files into PPro and drag the clips into the timeline, then I unlink the file to separate the audio from the video, so I can record my own voice track, when I have the clips, audio and effects the way I want them I export to a MPEG2 format and the Preset is Custom, and I change the size from 1440 x 1080 to 720 x 540 (my attempt to reduce file size), when the export is done I play the mpg file with Windows Media Player and the audio plays fine but parts of the video is completely pink, I went back to the project file and noticed the clips that didn't have the render line (red) were the parts that were pink and the clips and effects that had the red render line over them played fine.
My computer is an Intel Quad Core 3.00 GHz, with 8.00 GB or RAM, running Windows Vista 64-bit.
I hope this helps,
Mike

Why are 16x9 photos from PSE8 not filling screen when exported to PRE8?

I batch cropped a bunch of photos to (JPEG) 16x9 and created a slideshow in PSE8 (about 100 slides, 3.2 sec duration, random pan/zoom, random 1 sec transition). I had to click on each photo "properties" and choose "fit on slide" since it was defaulting to "crop to fit" (which was further cropping my 16x9 photos down to something not desirable).
When I "Output to PSE8" it shows up in the sceneline as not filling the entire space. If I click on this slide show in PRE8 and use the "properties" then "motion" and increase the size of the pictures, they come out blurry. However, if I insert one of the 16x9 photos directly into PRE8, it fills the entire screen and is perfect focused.
PLEASE tell me there is an easier solution than having to create the entire slideshow in PRE8. I really like the random transitions, easy batch duration pan/zoom, control.

Thanks for such a quick response Steve. I will attempt to add more information to help clarify your addtional quesitons
The pan and zoom I am using is the default (very minor- just enough to give the perception of movement).
If I import directly into PRE8 the picture(s) look perfect. It just seems to occur after I port to PRE8
I am not sure what workflow I am following but will be a bit more specific as to the steps I have been taking:
1. I open the PSE8 workspace and choose "organize" (not edit)
2. I click on "create" then click on "slideshow"
3. Next I set my specific defaults (for this project) 3.2 sec interval, 1 second Random transitions, apply pan and zoom to all slides and leave the "crop to fit slide-landscape" checked ( thanks for the tip to uncheck this next time, so I dont have to do it to every slide!!)
4. I then import my media from "add media" "photos and videos from folders" place the photos in the order i am looking for then save the project.
5.I next click "output" and "edit with Premiere Elements" - which open PRE8
6. in PRE8 setup I choose the "HDV 1080i 30" configuration.
The slideshow has now ported over to PRE8. The slideshow bundle does not utilize all of the space in the sceneline, hence my problem (black bars top and bottom of screen). Ironically, when I import via get media (directly from PRE8) the same pictures from my computer file (not in the organizer), they fill the entire space in the sceneline (no black bars on top or bottom). I have this problem regardless of whether or not I am using the pan/zoom or the unchecking of crop to fit slide landscape in PSE8.
I can send a screen print if you think that might help??
I sure hope this helps, all the other video items that are not related to this slideshow are perfect and this is killing me!!
Thanks, again, Mike

Black Screen when Exporting to Quicktime

I have a finished project - but when I try to export it to quicktime its always a black screen. Ive tried a bunch of different settings - but always the same result. Im sure theres something simple I am doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

What were the project settings?
What version of FCP?
What camcorder?
How did you "export to quicktime?"
What "bunch of different settings" did you use for what?
We can't see these things from here, and your post has to detail what you did with what.

Project screen when exported and burned becomes tiny

Hello,
I am working on a project in Adobe Encore CS4. The project appears to be fine when we preview in the program, though there is a thin black border around it. When we export it and burn it to a dvd something changes. We play it on regular dvd player and tv and the picture becomes tiny and there is a huge black border around it. My boss and I cannot for the life of us figure out what setting is causing this. My boss has done projects before and not had this problem. We have compared previous projects to this one and can't find any settings that are different. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

This is aimed at Premiere Pro, but may help
Work through all of the steps (ideas) listed at http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

Green/Glitched Screen when switched from CS5.5 to Adobe CC.

I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to Adobe CC, and I converted a Premiere Pro project to open in CC. ALL of the video was green or glitched looking. The source videos are .mp4, with 17 videos that I'm pulling from to make this project. They have also changed from 59.94 fps to 0.00 fps or 0.01 fps. It shows up in Quicktime fine, and played in CS5.5 fine. I can only hear the audio, but all the video has turned green.
I am using:
Mac 0S 10.9.4
Adobe CC Premiere 8.0.1 (21) Build

Hello I just wanted to update and look for help again. For my previous project I just went back to CS5.5 and continued working from there since I was unable to solve my problem. I was able to start a new project after that without problems, but now, I have started another project from scratch, and it is showing up with the green screen after importing, again. The videos should be at 59.94 fps, but are showing up at anywhere from 0.00 - 0.06 fps, 0.37 fps, and 0.61 fps. I can still hear the audio, but am only getting a blank green image instead of video. Please note I started this project directly in Adobe Premiere CC this time as opposed to starting in CS5.5, and am still running into this issue. Could anyone please tell me why this is occurring and help me out?

Frequent interruptions when exporting to camcorder

When I export an edited movie back to the camcorder (Sony DCR TRV 240E; DV IN/OUT) I get small interruptions (freezing or vertical shaking) in the picture frequently (once every 60 seconds (approx.)). These interruptions are not there in the editing mode they occur on the iMovie screen when exporting and gets on the tape. I have tried with another tape with the same result.
Later on tape the interruptions also influences the sound.
Has anyone encountered this?
I would be very grateful for help.

iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) I use iMovie 4.0.1.

a) in your system prefs, there's a tool "File
vault".. that has to be OFF, editing video
b) is your project on internal drive, or on an
external..? is the ext. hd usb(2) connected? should
be firewire...
c) your internal drive should be "crowded" ~80% of
max. single-click on hd's icon, hit apple-i, have a
look....
Hi Karsten,
Vault is off and the project is on the internal drive. The internal drive was crowded; 93% used. But even after moving 30% and get 63% free space on the internal drive the symptom is still there.
The frequence is every 60 seconds. The magnitude of the interruption is varying.
Should I do something more after emptying the trash after copying/moving?

I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

If you were to upgrade to InDesign CS5 or CS5.5 and if you exported as Adobe PDF (Interactive), you could set the View settings for Page Layout and Zoom.
While, as Jongware points out, its possible for individual users to override that option (Preferences > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom), the number who will actually do that is actually very tiny.

Video clips black when viewed full screen or exported?

I'm just taking my first steps with iMovie - apologies if this is a real newbie question or a FAQ (I have searched for answers already without success).
I've imported some video from my camera (Pentax W90) without a problem. I've split it into clips, selected sections, and added some simple titles and effects - all seems quite easy. I can view my new movie with no problem in the preview window.
However, if I try to view the movie full screen, or export it, the video content is all black. The titles are fine, just none of my video footage. I've tried exporting in various formats and sizes and it's always the same.
Where did I go wrong and how can I fix this?

*edit
Found workaround for this problem on web.
1. right click on itunes on your desktop and go to properties.
2. click on compatibility tab
3. check box for "Disable display scaling on high dpi settings and apply.
You will get a warning when you open itunes now that display settings are now set to an older version or something like that but just hit ok....and now full screen video! Probably isn't quite as clear as it should be if apple fixed this problem (I mean come on I know there have to be a ton of us out here that use large lcds or plasmas as our monitors so why its not fixed beats me) but hey at least it works in fullscreen mode this way. The major problem with this workaround is that it makes it quite hard to see text and other things in itunes store because they are now quite small. So what Ive had to start doing is keep it on normal settings while I go into itunes, and do my searching and renting and buying videos, then close it, make the changes of the workaround and then reopen it so that I can watch in fullscreen. Yeah its a pain but it works.

What settings when exporting from motion?

What settings do I use when exporting scrolling credits from Motion.

Exporting to where?
If you are going back to FCP, save the Motion project and import that. It can be treated exactly the same way you would a video clip.

Imovie crashes when i try to view the video full screen or export it. How do i fix this?

iMovie crashes when i try to view the project full screen and export it. How do i fix this?

Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your camera roll again.
