Motion clip disappears while working in 3d

In Motion 4.0.3, I'm working in 3d mode with a clip I've dropped in a drop zone. I have also applied a False Color Filter to the clip. When I rotate the camera angle, the clip disappears. I think this has something to do with the filter. How can I get the clip to remain visible the entire time? I'm about to try to apply the filter before I export from FCP, which I think will work, but I would like to know if I can use the filter in Motion and make it work. (The clip is exported from FCP 7.0.3 in .mov format.)

Tried it again and applying a filter before exporting from FCP did fix the problem. Still would like to know about the problem with applying the filter to a video clip in motion when changing camera angles in 3d though.

Project file disappeared while working!!!!

Hello, l work on a double dual core 3ghz intel mac, 8 gig of ram and a load of disk space (2 tera). Good machine. I've been editing on a network drive (full of space and very quick, far enough for sp DV, wich is the format I'm on). Now everything is working fine, no problem of anykind, files where captured on a local drive so no problem with a 2 gig file limitation. So all cool... but then suddenly while working, I choose to save my project (save) and the system tells me "file error". Impossible to save on the original location on the network. When I browse to the folder where the project is, the file has disappeared... Now the funny part comes: if I look at the same folder on an other machine, either mac or
PC, I can definitely see the file!! It's there (good to know it's the old version, before the save and error message, so it wasn't saved at all when the problem occured). It's there but on the machine from wich I had the problem it isn't!!!! It's the second time this arrises, first time I thought "that's odd", but now it seems to me as a major issue. Hopefully when the problem came, after the "file error" message I could still save the project in another location, so I didn't loose any work - if this happens to you.
Did anyone experience this very annoying and worrying situation? Is there a solution?
Many thanks!

PS almost forgot: if I disconnect the network drive and then reconnect it, the file is available again...

Hello
I think I am in the middle of a similar problem and I am not on a network. This was also going aon a few months ago.
I would save the project and it wouldn't show up in the finder (even though I was sitting there using and working the project) or I would try to save and I would get a warning such as Unknonw file or general error.. So I would save a new version which would be fine, then that wouldn't save, and so on.... And yes if I closed the finder window and reopened it the file I saved would sometimes appear. I really couldn't figure it out. It happened on a few projects but I couldn't see any rhyme or reason.
Eventually I reloaded FCP and all the updates again. Everything was going fine. Until last night. First I couldn't save (got the unknown file message) and then.... (arround the same time) One of my Hard drives lost all but one locked (Indesign) file!!! 148GB of media (FCP,quciktime,renders, etc) files, no warning! poof! gone! The drive was still there and passed all verification and didn't need any repair (using disc utility), all the info was gone! And I never touched it! Interestingly, I don't believe the project I was working on at the time had much to do with the Drive that lost everything. But the project I opened up just after the save problem occured did. When it opened with all of it's media "offline" (which had definitely been there earlier in the day)I discovered the disc issue.
OK, don't know if that helps, yes I've experienced similar but don't have the answer, yet.
Good Luck!

Prores renders disappearing while working in project. Please Help?

Hi There,
I am having a problem when I render a sequence, creating all the video preview files and as i continue to work on the sequence, or task switch and come back to that sequence, the render files are disappearing (ie. going from green to yellow or red) and having to be re-rendered before export.
General
Editing mode: Custom
Timebase: 29.97fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 1920h 1080v (1.0000)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second

Footage being rendered and going offline is prores422 1080i60 from an EVS XT-3 with a three way colour correction, and brightness/contrast filters on it
I am trying to work in an end to end prores workflow with the EVS XT-3 (hence the necessity for prores all the way through)
Preview files:
Prores422
I am running Premiere Pro CC on an AFP connected NAS over gigE (jumbo frames enabled on all components, Mac Mini running OSX server 10.8 fibre connected to a Sonnet RAID)
Have tried with projects set on local drive and also on NAS.
It appears to be something with the generation of peak files that is throwing the renders off each time? Even when you re-render. They then appear to go back offline.
Any help or ideas would be great!
Thanks
Chris

Hi smith,
Something tells me that the files are getting confused. If new times are written into the regeneration of peak files by the server, then those files cannot be relinked. I'll look around for some answers, I know I have heard about this problem before somewhere.

Current project disappeared while working in PS Touch ...

Today i started a project on PStouch and suddenly all disappeared and the tutorial side opened. And there is no access to my old projects.
I try to upload them before on the cloud but this takes to much time and there are format problems.

If you are in a Tutorial you might just advance through to the end and then choose not to save.

While working in iMovie, computer shut down and all imported clips from that project disappeared. The project still existed, with titles, but all video clips were gone from the movie as well as the computer library.

Clips were imported from SD card into iMovie project. While working on the project, computer shut down. When restarted, all clips from that event were no longer in the project, or in the computer library. Project existed, with titles, but blank spaces exist where clips had been.

OH MY GOD! This EXACT thing just happened to me! It didn't save my event and didn't show the date in the iMovie library but if I look under all projects, the project is there. Except that there are little blank place holders where all my clips were. Also the title of the project has a little yellow "!" symbol next to it which I can only assume means that the file is corrupted.
I can't believe it destroyed like 8 hours of work!
I have a 15" mid 2011 MBP and Mavericks OS.

Send to motion and clips disappear

I was putting together a video and had an edited multicllip sequence. I changed the multiclip sequence into a series of edited clips as I was done with the editing portion. I needed to send a few of the clips to Motion to do some effects work and it worked fine.
When I opened Final Cut Pro up the next day, my sequence only had one clip in it, the one that I sent to motion. The clip's name was renamed with the .motn suffix and all of the clips after it are now gone.
I don't think that I did anything out of the ordinary. I tried to 'restore project' and when I restore it to a save that has all the clips, it says that they are offline and has renamed the whole thing thing with the .motn suffix instead of a lot of .mov clips edited together. Is there anything I can do besides start over?

When you send a bunch of clips to Motion from FCP's Timeline, you will see the behavior (i.e. motion clips being automatically put in your sequence) I'd suggest that you only send one clip at time there if they are not adjacent to each other in the FCP Timeline window.
You also should be able to go back further than you are by selecting an auto save from your Autosave Vault... there are backups made there at the rate you have set them to be saved in your User Prefs.

While working on FCPX project, power failed. Power on, restarted, opened FC, Project Library shows blank icon, no clips. Click on icon, nothing happens. Haven't done back-up. Can project be recovered?

While working on a FXPX project, there was a power failure. Power back on, restarted FCPX, project name in Project Library is a blank icon, nothing happens when I click on it. Believing back ups were automatic and continuous, I made no back up. Can the project be recovered?

Years of fine internet use via WIFI then randomly it starts dropping then one day (weeks later) it is no longer accessible at all and even saying "No hardware installed" when I click on WIFI icon at the top right on screen. Here is how I finally fixed it!:
For six months I wallowed in this problem and had to connect my macbook pro to the internet via ethernet cable which as you can image was very restrictive :/
I have had numerous laptop technicans befuddled by this WIFI problem and most concluding with how my WIFI card must be broken and that I will need to buy a new one. The last suggestion I had on the matter was to buy a USB wifi dongle.
So I ended up buying this one, http://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/USBN10_NANO/Unfortunately my macbook pro didn't want to read the install disc and it didn't autorun so it didn't work. After reading more forums I saw that you could download the program from the net and sure enough it worked.. BUT STRANGER when I took the USB dongle out the WIFI was still working!! The program appears to have reminded my four year old macbook pro that it is indeed WIFI capable.
So to find this miraculous program its located herehttp://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/USBN10_NANO/HelpDesk_Download/
Same link as above just under SUPPORT>Driver&Tools
You then click on a file when its downloaded and a file called MAC will appear, then click on install. Within 5 minutes you should have your WIFI back. My macbook pro crashed again today but without having to get the shortest ethernet cable you've ever seen out again - I was able to install the program again and WIFI was up and running once more. Moral of the story - didn't need to spend any money to fix this and not even using the USB dongle.
So happy!! Hope it works for you too!
This also worked on a MacBook that lost its WIFI when a user accounts password was changed and the keychain password wasn't known to them - another random way to lose WIFI apparently

Effects with clips no longer work

After a few days with FCP X, all transitions and templates that use video clips as part of the effect, stopped working. Skimming the effects in the browser results in a blue screen.

I believe your suggestion is exactly right. I ended up tossing the whole Motion folder - which was probably empty except for those presets. I realized that some miscommunication between FCP X and Motion was involved, when the generators began reappearing in FCP X, once I opened a copy of one in Motion, but disappeared again, when I closed Motion.
I believe Apple was quite right to recommend putting the new versions on a separate startup volume, but getting rid of those presets was enough to get everything working again for me.
Thanks!

I can't get clipping mask to work

I'm adding stars to the sky. I did this by making a custom brush and painting on a blank layer above my image layer. To make it look more realistic I want to add a bit of color. So I add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and colorize to get the desired hue. This is where I run into trouble. I only want the adjustment layer to affect the stars I painted on and not the rest of the image so I apply a clipping mask to the Hue/Saturation layer (which is directly above my stars layer.) When I do this the color disappears completely and does not affect any part of the image. Any ideas why this isn't working? I also had the same problem when I applied a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer. I have Photoshop CC (same issue is present in both the 2014 and previous versions) for Mac.

This is my desired end effect. I worked around it by creating a layer mask from the stars layer but the clipping mask not working is still an issue.
I created new Hue/Saturation layers and put them above the stars layer. The adjustment layer changes the color of the entire image including the stars.
Once I clip the layers none of the image is affected, not even the stars, when it should be affecting only the stars.

Web Clips Doesn't Work

I recently purchased a MacBook, running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. One cool feature I've discovered is Web Clips. I began using this feature right away. I made a Web Clip of the Apple Main Page, used it for a while, then deleted it. After this, I was unable to get Web Clips to work again. I'm not sure why. I did install the 10.5.1 update between these instances, and I don't have any Style Sheets, as other posts indicated. Any Help Would Be Appreciated. Thanks.

Web Clips has stopped working for me too. Now I clip the web page, the Widget screens come to the front but no new Widget appears on screen. If I click the Widget set-up cross (can't remember what it's called - sorry) at the bottom left of the screen I can the close X for all the normal Widgets plus one for what I assume is the newly-created web widget, but that's all there is: a close X; no frame or anything else visible.
I created a new user account and tried it there and it works fine. I tried deletling the web-widget plist file as described elsewhere but this made no difference. Puzzling.
Thanks.

Clips disappeared in iMovie - how to get them back?

I've had a number of clips just disappear from my events in iMovie 9.0.8.
In the Event Library, the thumbnail still shows, the sound plays, but there is no video.
When I click on "Reveal in Finder", the source files shows but only as very small (e.g. 150KB). The clips which still work are all in the many MBs when I do the same and reveal in finder. The source files themselves don't play video (nor do they have sound), whereas the source files for clips which are still ok in iMovie will play just fine in QuickTime. What's even more mystifying is that when I go back in Time Machine, the source files for the missing clips never show up as large or playable, even though I know for certain that these clips worked in the past. I have not recently done any software/system upgrades, moved or deleted files or done anything unusual that I can think of.
Any ideas? Has anyone seen this before?

Your original media files in the finder are obviously too small and since they are the same on Time Machine copies, they must have been like this for some time. If your earliest Time machine versions are too small I don't see any way of recovering them.
Were they from a different source or imported in a different way from the clips that still work?

How to get Motion Tracking Mode to work?

How do I get "Motion Tracking Mode" to work? I click the icon and nothing happens, its like greyed out.

scouterbsa
Here is my check list for you to review regarding using Motion Tracking Mode in Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.
1. You need a video and with enough motion in the object in it to track it. Color contrast between the object and its background can be important to success.
I created a DV AVI 4:3 in which I have a circle moving, and I have used a butterfly Clip Art from Premiere Elements 10 to track to track the circle as it moves in the video. In this example, you see the object only at 0 time.
2. Select/highlight the clip on the Timeline. And then click on the Motion Tracking Mode icon above the Timeline.
You should next see the following Motion Tracking dialog asking for a Yes or No to the question "Run
Auto-Analyzer to track moving objects?" Click No.
3. At this point, you will see a bounding box on screen. That bounding box should be placed using the mouse cursor on the object
that is going to be tracked, in this case, the circle. Resize and position the bounding box accordingly.
4. Once you have the bounding box on the object and resized, click on Track Object at the top right of the monitor.
The screenshot below shows only the before clicking Track Object at the top right of the monitor.
When that action is finished the bound box edges will be an orange yellow color. I have skipped over a screenshot
for the latter.
5. With the orangel yellow bounding box in place, next drag the Clip Art (in this case, Butterfly 02) from the Clip Art display area toward and into the orange yellow bounding box frame. The orange yellow bounding box frame will turn blue. That is the first sign of success.
Hit the Enter key of the computer main keyboard and watch the results. The Butterfly should track the circle's
movement in the clip. The duration of the clip and the continuity of the object's motion in the clip can be other factors.
If you do not succeed, try again with a different video clip (one with more movement and color contrast.
The above is a best case scenario. If it is speech bubbles that you are having problems with as well, we will deal with them next.
Right now it seems like you are having problems getting started rather than having a problem with a specific Clip Art that you are
using to track the object in your video.
We will be watching for your results.

Searching for a low-cost plug for doing better slow motion clips.

Where can I find a low-cost or free plug-in for doing better slow motion clips? I produce alot of sports videos and use FCPHD but am looking for better quality. I am not necessarily looking for time-remapping (it confuses the ** out of me). Just want to simply slow down clips and not be as choppy as FCP turns out.
Thanks for any help!

Crashing while working with inventor drawings.

I have a user who works with Acrobat Standard X, and uses redlining to markup inventor drawings. While working the buttons across the toolbars near the top of the window will sometimes start to disappear(black box appears over them). When that happens if the users notices he can sometimes use a keyboard shortcut in time to save the drawing before work is lost, but shortly after the application crashes with no error messages.
Is there a log or other process I can monitor to find out what is happening.
Desktop is more than adequate specs wise.
