Motion and RAIDs

I have a post in the FCP forum but I wanted to get some insight from you guys as well. Here is my situation...
I've got a brand new Mac Pro and I want to talk full advantage of the expandability options this computer has to offer. I've got the Radeon 4870 but now I am looking to do something with my open HD bays. I've been tossing the idea of a software RAID0 setup with two of these...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284
The third HD bay would have another one of those drives and would act as a backup drive to my RAID.
Does this seem like a setup that would speed up my overall productivity?
Another dilemma I am facing has to do with my FW buses. Right now I have an M-Audio 1814 (plugged in via a 6 to 9 pin FW cable) powering my M-Audio BX5as. If I plug in any other FW peripherals to my computer, my speakers stop working and require a restart to kick back in.
With that said I have a G-Tech 1TB external hard drive that I used to use as a scratch disk on my old editing system. The drive has FW400/800, eSATA, and USB. What would you recommend I do with this drive?

Let me get this right - you already have an HD you use for the boot drive? or do you want to have the Raid0 setup as your boot drive? If the former, then I would say use the 3 remaining hd bays as a Raid1 setup, this will then mirror everything you place on it and, so they saying goes, keep everything safe! I would use the external drive, via the e-sata if possible, as the 'Time Machine' backup disk. Raid1 is slightly slower than Raid0 but, Raid0 doesn't 'mirror' the info placed on it. What you loose in speed, you make up in safety.
With regards the M-Audio issue, do you have the latest drivers for it?

  • Advise on dual 1.25 G4 graphics card upgrade to run Motion and Shake.

    I have a dual 1.25 GHz G4 PowerMac running 10.4.7 and would like to use Motion and Shake. Motion will not install with the factory ATI Radeon 9000 Pro card and Shake requests OpenGL support so I did not bother trying the install.
    I'm considering the Radeon 9800 PRO or the GeForce 7600 GT
    I'm also running an ACARD 6880M raid card for storage and hope to avoid any conflicts.
    Any advise is much appreciated.

    You should be able to get an AGP GeForce 7 series card. It's either a 7600 or 7800, but beyond that I can't remember. Of course, you'll have to flash it, possibly solder on a 128K EEPROM, tape or cut some pins, make sure you have a strong enough power supply...
    Your other options are a Radeon 9800 Pro or GeFroce 6800 (Ultra, GT?). You can probably find a PC Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB card (make sure it has 8 memory chips instead of 16, is not AGP Pro/Double-Wide, is prerferably DDR and not DDR2, and to avoid soldering try to find one with a 128K EEPROM - which would never be specified on a site or anything). Again, you'd have to flash it and tape some pins as they're meant for AGP8x slots. They also don't fit well if you try to change their fan/heatsink, or so I've been told.
    Definitely max your RAM, but maybe avoid PC3200 memory modules. ; P

  • "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:-

  • 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!

  • Is there a way to detect motion and set markers automatically?

    My video includes walking around with the camera.  I walk, then stop and hold the camera in one area, then pan, then continue walking (and repeat). 
    While panning, there is some annoying flicker of vertical objects (beams, poles, whatever).  I can use a horizontal fast blur to fix this, but I only want the blur applied when there is panning (not when the camera is relatively still).  Doing it manually is cumbersome.
    Is there a way to detect when motion is going on (over a certain threshold)?  I would like PP to tell me when there is significant motion, and place markers in the points where it begins and ends (when motion goes over a threshold and then when it falls below the threshold).
    Thanks, experts!

    One thing you can try is to bring your footage into Prelude - it will lay out the entire clip so you can see thumbnail snapshots for the whole clip at once - that might give you a good start to see where there is a lot of motion.  Then, you can add markers very easily at all of those points - and when you send it over to Premiere, the markers will show up on your clip. 
    Not automated, but a good workflow to achieve what you are looking for.

  • Advice on RAID Sets, Volume Sets, and RAID Levels of the Volume Sets using an Areca Controller

    I have read through a lot of information on disk usage, storage rules for an editing rig, users inquiries/member responses in this forum and I thank each and every one of you – especially Harm.
    In building my new workstation, I purchased five (5) WD 1T, 7k, 64M SATAIII hard drives and an Areca RAID card, ARC-1880ix-16-4G, which I plan to use primarily as my media/data disk array.  The workstation will use a 128GB SATAIII SSD as the OS/program drive and I will transfer two (2) WD Raptor/10k SATA 70GB drives from my current system for pagefile/scratch/render use.  I tentatively plan on using a mobo SATAIII port for the SSD and mobo SATA ports with a software RAID (level 0) for the 10k Raptors.
    In reading the Areca Instruction manual, I am now considering exactly how I should configure the 5 physical 1TB drives in terms of RAID Level(s), Volume Sets, and RAID Sets.  I must admit that I like the opportunity of allowing for a Dedicated Hot Spare as I am generally distrustful of the MTBF data that drive vendors tout and have the bad experience in the past of losing data from a mal-configured RAID array and a single drive hardware failure (admittedly, my fault!).
    In line with the logic that one doesn’t want to perform disk reading while trying to write at the same time (or vice-versa), I am thinking the approach above should work OK in using the mobo disk interface and both software and external hardware RAID controllers without having to create separate RAID level configurations within a Volume Set or further dividing up the physical drives into separate RAID sets.  I know in forum messages that Harm noted that he had 17 drives and I could envision a benefit to having separate RAID sets in that situation, but I am not at that point yet. 
    To some degree I think it might be best to just create one RAID Level on one Volume Set on one RAID Set, but want to solicit thoughts from veteran controller users on their workflows/thoughts in these regards.
    Anyone care to share thoughts/perspectives?  Thanks
    Bill

    Thanks for the speedy feedback Harm - I appreciate it.
    I was thinking RAID level 3 as well.
    Of course, it's always something!   I purchased the Caviar Blacks by mistake - which are non-TLER.   I will work with EggHead to return the ones I purchased and replace them with RE4 versions  as I'm not thrilled about the possibility of the controller declaring the volume/disks degraded unnecessarily and although I have the DOS utility WDTLER where one is supposed to be able to enable/disable TLER on WD drives  - I suspect WD is way beyond that now anyway with current builds.
    I agree with you about just testing the performance of the options for the raptors - on the mobo and then on the controller.  When I benchmark them I'll post the results in case others are curious.
    Thanks again....off to EggHead!

  • Windows 8 and Raid 5 (English)

    Looking for confirmation that Windows 8 does not have the ability to use Raid 5 even if it is presented a single logical drive by a controller.
    I have a SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 that makes a drive. All the docs say Raid 0 and Raid 1.
    The Windows 8 and Raid 5 question already posted looks to be in Spanish.
    With regards,

  • How to install the driver of the 'SCSI and RAID Host Controller'

    Hi,
    I have two Windows XP(32Bit) installations:
    •Windows XP SP2(32Bit) which is old and it seems as if it is infected by some viruses.
    •I have installed another fresh clean Windows XP(32Bit) SP3. However, I have found that there is no category named with ''SCSI and RAID Host Controller'. However, when checking out the old version of Windows XP, I found  'SCSI and RAID Host Controller'
    is there. (Screen shot below)
    The new Windows XP(32Bit) SP3, there is no 'SCSI and RAID Host Controller'
    My motherboard is:
    My Desktop Computer(Intel P 4, 512MB of RAM, and Graphics Card  with 256MB of RAM.
    ]I am seeing that most computer doesn't has the scsi / raid controller . in the old Windows XP on my computer that SCSI and RAID controller exists, and it it has not  a yellow mark on it.
    When I installed  a new windwos XP 32Bit SP3, no SCSI/RAID in divice manager .
    My computer sound on new Windows XP doesn't work , however, on old Windows XP SP2 works well. I have a buitl-in  sound card. SCSI and RAID controller category in the device manager on the old Windows xp SP2 is realted to sound card,I don't think.
    Thus, What drivers would let the 'SCSI and RAID Host Controller' added in the device manager?
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    If you open the case and shine a light on the motherboard you can usually see both the manufacturers name and the model printed on the pcb somewhere. You should also normally see this information on the first POST screen when you turn on the PC.
    Otherwise Google "775i65G" like I did.
    Here are the driver downloads (assuming it is an Asrock 775i65G R2.0 and not an R3.0)
    http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/775i65G%20R2.0/?cat=Download&os=XP
    You should install the inf driver first. Hopefully after you do that you will see your desired listing in Device Manager.
    With regard to the AMR driver and the HDMR driver, you can find some information about these here :
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio/modem_riser
    Unless you actually have something plugged into these risers, it is probably not necessary to install the drivers.
    However, the drivers for the integrated C-Media audio chip and the Realtek Lan chip may prove useful.
    It looks like the motherboard has integrated video but if you are using a graphics card it will not normally be necessary to install the VGA driver.
    You can download both the manual and the installation guide here
    http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/775i65G/?cat=Manual
    And if "SCSI and RAID Host Controller" is still not shown in Device Manager, don't worry - because these functions are not supported by your motherboard (again assuming it is an Asrock 775i65G)
    Thanks a lot,
    First of all, when saying that I have multi-operationgs systems, I mean there are two operating systems installed on my PC(SP2, SP3) both are 32Bit. The first Windows SP2(NOT installed by me) has all multimedia audio card installed
    well, and has SCSI and RAID Host Controller shown the device manager. However, only the VGA is not installed on Windows SP2. However, the second one Windows SP3(Installed by me) has VGA not installed, Multimedia audio NOT installed, and there is no SCSI and
    RAID Host Controller in device manager.
    First: Why did the CPUz, specy didn't detect motherboard name, and only detect the model. IF I need to  open the case and shine a light on the motherboard you can usually see both the manufacturers name and the model printed on
    the pcb somewhere, then what benfit would be there from hardware detection software?
    Second: Yes, my motherboard has integrated video, and integrated audio card
    However, this doesn't mean that I don't need to install them since the Vidoe controller is not properly installed (it is a default VGA ) Also, Multimedia audio controller is not functiong at all.
    Finally: if And if "SCSI and RAID Host Controller" is still not shown in Device Manager in Windows XP SP3,  because these functions are not supported by my motherboard, then why is 'SCSI and RAID Host
    Controller' installed/shown in the device manger in Windows XP SP2 on the same PC???
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

  • Motion and Field Order Stupidness

    I'll try not to rant too much.
    But what is up with Motion and working with DV NTSC video with fields? I have had nothing but headaches. I am a long time After Effects user, and I was glad to get Motion 2 (2.1.2), but I've just spent the last hour and half trying to get it to render DV NTSC video correctly without it getting field jitter on a project that needed to be over-nighted to go on the air. And it still doesn't look totally correct. (I'm not a happy camper)
    Here's the deal, I took DV captured footage from FCP using the standard DV/DVCPRO - NTSC preset I've used forever. That footage was imported into a Motion project that was using its own NTSC DV project preset (all lower fields -even). But every time I'd play it back in Motion, or render it out (still using the NTSC DV render preset), I get serious field jitter on DV output.
    Eventually I found under the Inspector-Media tabs that the footage was imported as Field Order- None (why I have not a clue). So I changed all the footage to Lower (even). That worked on any footage where size, rotation, or position was not changed. If any of those attributes was changed I get the field order jitter. It seems to me that Motion is not able to render out field ordered video properly and the quality looks poor or jittery.
    Now that might seem hasty to say that, but I've been doing the same thing in AE for years, never having to change the imported field order to get it to look right and I have always captured, imported, work with projects and rendered using the QT DV/DVCPRO - NTSC presets.
    Can someone help me because I can not believe I've had to change so many setting to try to get video to look right from Motion while using the same settings during the entire workflow.
    Thanks, and sorry for the rant.

    Hey, thanks for the replys.
    [....you might want to try using the animation codec..millions of colors...]
    I gave that a shot this morning, and I'm having the same problem. See what's going on now is after changing the Field Order to even for the footage media, all of it looks decent except for the ones on an angle, croped or resized and I see this in both Motion's preview and the final render when I play it back in FCP. So as per your suggestion I rendered with the animation codec (filed rendering) and it still has it. Its just odd to me that it does that, like I said before I've worked in the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec with FCP and AE for years with no quality degrade. The reason I have always do that is that's what I capture to and that what my FCP project is so to keep it all consistant. BTW, this is going network and cable, no different than I usually do.
    [...are you enabling field rendering in the Canvas or in the export settings?]
    Yes I am, sorry, I should have pointed that out. I have done combinations of different QT codecs with and without field rendering turned on to see different results. None of course resolves this issue.

    I recently updated my computer and went with the new Quad-Core Mac. I had to reload the Final Cut Pro Studio software, and I've got a problem that is vexing me to no end.
    I can import a Motion template (one that I've designed and even the Apple produced templates), but I try to view it in Viewer or when I place the Motion template on the timeline it won't work. Nothing visible on either the Viewer or the Canvas when I try to playback. I can right click and open the template in Motion and have the elements appear and work properly, but nada once it comes back into Final Cut.
    What gives?

    I find the roundtrip to Motion to be less than useful when there are a lot of layers involved. What works better for me is to export a movie using the same settings you're using in FCP and then import that. If the settings in Motion match the FCP settings, no rendering should be required. Unfortunately, you can't then use the "open in editor" function to fix anything... but must reopen the Motion project and export again.

  • When i install the new os my fcp,motion and many adobe software not working so please help me out.

    there are so many videos on youtube but i want know any solution from apple side plz my so many works are pending becuze i am working as Video Editor.

    You need to be more specific about which software applications you're using, the versions and what happens when you try to open them.
    It would also be nice if you could include which model MacBook Air you're using.

  • Working with Motion and FCP 6

    I have some footage of a presenter reading the news and i need to know the best way to create a lower third caption in Motion and incorporating it into my movie in FCP.
    So far i have created my lower third caption in Motion and then saved it as a template, when in FCP i then open the template and drag it into the timeline, but it was trial and error getting the lower third to position at the right place on the footage.
    Is there a better way ? should i edit my footage then export to motion and creae the lower third over the footage ?
    Help

    Do not worry, while you gain more experience in editing and motion graphics this non-issue will gradually disappear.
    However, there are several things you can try within FCP, one is to toggle on Image+Wireframe (FCP main menu>view) and swiftly reposition your lower third as you wish in the canvas by dragging the image center.

  • Workflow Qs: Using LT, Motion and FCP!

    Hi, getting all jumbled up on workflow. I am inserting motion projects direct on the timeline, but I want livetype titling in this project as well - the titles are part of the motion animation. I don't see where i can save a livetype style I have set up there to just use in Motion, nor a sendto click. What do I have to do to make the composite? Thanks!
    Bonus Question:
    I also need to creat this effect:

    Creating a Chalkboard Effect
    How to create a Chalkboard effect with text that writes on the board and is then removed with an eraser! Click the image to watch this tutorial.
    BUT, we can't afford 99$ nor do we have credit cards in Nepal to order. Can anyone tell me if this is possible to recreate by hand just using Motion and LiveType? Thanks,

    Import the LiveType project file as you would import it into FCP. However, my advice is to render the LT movie and bring the movie into the Motion project. You will save tons of processing and be able to edit your Motion project much faster. Try not to get hung up on precision with the LT stuff. In fact, I'd use proxies for the LT files with the simplest settings and minimum effects until you are much further along.
    Most of LiveType's effects can be easily emulated within Motion.

    The economics of effects are usually grossly misunderstood by cheapskates. The effort you will expend in faking this effect will cost you far more than simply buying it. Credit cards are not the issue, you can make this purchase in many ways, use your imagination.
    Find a bold typeface that you like. Apply any noise filter to a matte as a still image to create an alpha mask that will give some chalkboard texture to the text by removing some of the pixels. The same noise matte can be offset slightly and blended using ADD to give you some bright chalk highlights. You create the eraser effect using the paint function in Motion or buy using a grayscale and a procedural or gradient wipe. There is an eraser object in the Content of Motion. Animating the onscreen movement of the eraser and the eraser matte is challenging but a fun exercise in learning Motion's advanced functions. A chalkboard is a dangerously primitive anachronism. Be sure the metaphor is appropriate to your communication goal and not just some silly effect your creative manager insists on using.

  • Why is it in the Apple store in Fresno, Ca there are no scheduled one on one sessions in Aperture, Iphoto, Pages, motion, and several other programs. I purchased two for $200.00 and wonder what's happening

    1. I've purchased two one on one training cards in the Fresno Apple Store.
    2. For the past week and a half I've tried to schedule a personal or group in Aperture, Imovie, motion and the schedule shows to future times.
    3. What is going on that I cannot receive training in any of this popular topics. WHAT'S GOING ON?

    Hi,
    You've posted your question on the Apple-sponsored user-to-user discussion forum for Aperture.  Apple prepares for us this little clearing in the orchard, but otherwise is not here.  Your questions should be addressed to the Fresno Apple Store personnel.
