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.

Camera roll not saving pics

my camera roll not saving any pics at all. I can take pics from the Phone when it comes to see the pics in camera roll its not going or saving there. Any sololution reply me here plz. thanks

Well, I would try restoring it as a new iPhone rather than from a backup (as the backup could contain the issue) and if that does not solve the problem, then I suggest you take it to a Genius Bar for evaluation.
Before you do that, make sure you have your data synced to iCloud or iTunes so that you can get it back afterwards by redownloading and syncing, rather than from a backup.

Pictures taked with Camera are not saved.

When taking pictures using my iPad Air the app functions normally but the pictures are not saved to the iPad. Am I missing a setting somewhere in Settings?

Yes, they are on the "Camera Roll".
When I had iPad (the original) these are saved pictures from various apps (Facebook, Wikipedia, emails, ......)
When I up graded to iPad Air everything transfered over. Thus pictures are stored in "Camera Roll".
This still does not explain why pictures taked on the iPad are not saved anywhere.
Thanks for the response.

User color choice not saved in export preset?

I'm currently writing my first plugin and still in a learning curve.
My export plugin has a color_well control to choose a color. I have defined a default value of LrColor(1,1,1) which works well.
However, the chosen color is not saved so every time the export dialog is used, it comes up with the default color value and the previously chosen color is lost.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mario
Code snippet:
myPlugin.exportPresetFields = {
    { key = 'borderColor', default = LrColor(1,1,1) },
    ...more keys
function myPlugin.sectionForFilterInDialog( viewFactory, propertyTable )
    return {
        viewFactory:row {
            viewFactory:color_well {
                value = LrView.bind('borderColor'),
end

Many thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay. It took me DAYS to figure out how to save the r,g & b components.
Finally, I succeeded with this method:
myPlugin.exportPresetFields = {
    { key = 'color_r', default = 1 },
    { key = 'color_g', default = 1 },
    { key = 'color_b', default = 1 },
function myPlugin.sectionForFilterInDialog( viewFactory, propertyTable )
    return {
        viewFactory:row {
            viewFactory:color_well {
                value = LrView.bind({
                     key = 'borderColor',
                     transform = function ( value, fromTable )
                          if fromTable then
                              return LrColor(propertyTable.color_r, propertyTable.color_g, propertyTable.color_b)
                          else
                              propertyTable.color_r = value:red()
                              propertyTable.color_g = value:green()
                              propertyTable.color_b = value:blue()
                              return LrBinding.kUnsupportedDirection
                          end
                     end
end

Slit Scan looks fine in Motion preview but not when I Export to Movie

I have a project that I finally got to look exactly the way I wanted, but when I export it to a Quicktime Movie, it's all messed up. I used the Slit Scan filter on a PSD image for the background, and it looks great in the preview in Motion, but when I go to export it, the top half and the bottom half alternately drop out to black. I've tried every setting I can think of but nothing changes it. I've tried several different export options as well, but no luck. I'm up against a hard deadline and I just can't get it to work. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your reply, Ben.
The render settings are:
Resolution: Dynamic and Full
Quality: Best
Lighting on
Shadows on
Reflections on
Frame Blending on
In the export settings, I typically just leave everything as current settings, and use canvas settings, but I've tried changing everything and nothing makes any difference. I posted it to YouTube if you'd like to see what the problem is. The link is:
http://youtu.be/oL3Mx5yGKVs
You can see at about the 3 second mark that the Castle logo with drop shadow is on a black background. The background isn't ever supposed to be black, and isn't in the canvas window. It's supposed to vary from light gray, to yellow and white, but never black. There is also supposed to be a white horizontal glow that spans the width of the frame right about the center, and that has just dropped out completely. The top also drops to black and shouldn't. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Trying to move avi files from iPad - already deleted from my camera so not saved anywhere else

HI
i stupidly imported movies from my camera directly onto my iPad and then deleted them from my camera. So now the AVI files are on my iPad but I can't view them on the device. And all of the apps I tried seem to use itunes to "locate" the files. This is not an option as I imported them straight to the iPad. iPad wont let me email these files to anywhere as I guess they are just not recognised. Can't access them via iCloud etc. Is there any way I can move these files from my iPad to a usable source?
thanks

They're probably also too big to e-mail. Video files are normally huge and e-mails often have a 10-25 meg per message limit. I have a 3 minute video that's 300 megs.
Have you looked to something like dropbox? Upload them there, download them to your computer? You'll need the dropbox app but it should work.
Also, do you have a PC? have you tried using windows explorer? If the videos are in your camera roll (not sure if they will be since you imported them) all you need to do is plug your iPad into a PC, ignore the open iTunes part and use 'my computer' and windows explorer to gain access to your iPad. Go to 'my computer' see if you can see your ipad, double cllick on it, you'll see a DCIM folder. Inside that will be a myriad of folders created by the iPad. My suggestion would be to just drag everything over then go through it and see if your AVI's are in there.

Camera Keyframes not saved correctly in Motion.

Hey,
I'm currently working on a project in motion with a complex camera-movement which I have created using keyframes. However, every time I close Motion and open the project up again, the bezier curves have all disappeared - leaving very jagged edges. I have absolutely no idea why the keyframes won't save correctly - I'm locking the camera track but nothing with work... any ideas please?!

I've actually discovered that the bezier information is only erased if the camera track is locked - if it is left unlocked all the data remains unchanged. Is there any reason for this??

Weird Behavior not saving correctly

I have a JSP page that uses the <tiles:insert> . Every time I go to save it, it takes the contents of the definition file and INSERTS it at the bottom of the JSP I am working on. I can therefore, never save this file correctly. This appears to be a major bug.
I am working with preview-366

It is indeed a bug that happens in the case of a jsp:include or c:import in a tiles:put tag. For example:
<tiles:insert definition=".layout">
<tiles:put name="body" type="string">
<jsp:include page="/body.jsp" />
</tiles:put>
</tiles:insert>
This is fixed for the next build (>= 367).

Changes are not saved in Exported file

I am using the trial version of Lightroom 5. When I do a Lens Correction and then export the file, the new file is the same as the original before my corrections when I open it in Photoshop or another program. Help!

Lr & Photoshop both have the potential to use tiny (xmp) files for storing changes (and never save any other files), and both can save/export big honkin' tiffs, or like-sized jpegs...
If you save files in Photoshop with layers and such stuff, the files can get pretty big.
So, to answer your question: "It depends..." - which files, how saved/exported...
Try some stuff and inspect the file sizes!

Why my videos recorded with the camera are not saved in the video app? It is saved like a photo.

Like the title says, why when I record a video, it is saved like a photo and not like a video. I mean that if I go in video app, I can't see my video that I just recorded, I have to search in my photos, but this is a video. I don't understand.
Thanks

Pictures and videos you take on the pad are saved in the camera roll. That's just where they go. If you select it, it should show with a play button to play the video.
If you sync it back to your computer, edit it and change it, then save it as a video, it will sync back to the pad as a video.

Motion tween created not works after exporting,but works in TEST MOVIE(ctrl+enter)

I am using adobe flash cs4 and actionscript3
my project consists several different layers using classic motion tween option available in flash cs4
my project works fine when I test the movie using Ctrl+Enter
but after exporting my animation remains stationary
If any one knows how to solve this please do reply me. It will be very helpful to me
Even it is a simple setting please do reply me .
It is very urgent.
thank u in advance

Are you using any ActionScript at all or is it all just motion on the timeline?
If you're not using any AS then you can try to add a little to force it to play. Just add a new layer at the very top. Click on the first frame (which shoudl be a keyframe - if it's not make it one) and press F9. This will open your Actions window. In the window type "play();" (without the quotes). Not sure if that will work or not but it's worth a try!
If you are using AS make sure you don't have a stop(); action anywhere that's not being controlled.
Good luck!

WVC210 with Motion Detection does not stay in the correct position

When I set the camera in a specific position (setting it as Home) and then I enable Motion Detection feature (setting area and sensibility using the home position); if i have set the "Disable Motion Detection while position is incorrect" with "Go to Motion Detection position if idle" option the camera will reset the tilt after the time set has expired.
Is it a known bug (I have not found anything about that here)?
Is there a way to set which is the motion detection position to be held?

Hi M.Bordoni,
I will pass this onto the wonderful folks at the Small Business Support Center to get their opinion.
Just out of interest, I'm guessing you are utilities built within the camera to send a image somewhere ?
Are you using the free Surveillance monitoring application to store captured video on your NAS/PC or server ?
regards Dave

IPhone IMAP Gmail mailbox behaviors not saved

I setup Gmail as an IMAP account so I can send mail from my own domain. It works, but I cannot get the mailbox behaviors to be saved. I go into Advanced then under Mailbox Behaviors I set Deleted Mailbox to All Mail (on the server), but it will not save that setting. It keeps defaulting back to Trash. I want to be able to delete a message on my phone and have it archived on the server.
I'm running OS 6.0.1 on an iPhone 5

Yes, good question about not playing nice with gmail.
Regarding your iPads, if you do backups to iCloud from them, those backups may occur at random times (e.g., middle of the night). Maybe the thing to do is record your iPads' (plural) gmail account settings, overtly set them the same as your iPhone's, and see if that works.
