Motion files exporting to all-black .Mov file...

I took a layered .PSD and animated the layers using standard keyframes over a stationary white background layer. I have done many projects like this, and for some reason this one will not export. Keeps showing up as all black... and when i try to play through it, it will not play at the normal speed but plays
1 frame = 1 second... Any thoughts on what the setting could be that i messed up?

These .f4v options are both in fact videos, which you can use in video player / editors directly.
If you want to convert this video to MP4, you can do it with Adobe Media Encoder which is installed free with Captivate 5. Inside the Adobe Media Encoder, you need to select H.264 as the format. The select one of the suitable preset to get MP4 output.

We can not see your computer, your settings or even know what your source files are because we are not in the same room as you are!
We cant see what you are doing wrong ...so you will have to tell us a lot more and show us some screen grabs of your settings.

How do I include Motion files in FCP "media manager" exports?

All files with a .mtn do not transfer correctly when I use media manager to duplicate a project: I get the red-dotted frame and even when I try to reconnect the frame, once rendered, remains black. I was wondering if there is a way to export Motion files there were created by exporting from FCP and "embedded" in Motion.
Thank you for the help!

~/Titles.localized/Show Effects/Show/Lower 3rd/Lower 3rd.moti“ is the Motion file that is being used. I was able to replace the file and when I open a project all of the lower thirds are there except they are all missing the names and titles. I
I parsed through the .fcpevent file and found the following which seems to set the title in the effect. Its pointing to an object with an id of 2. But how do you get the title in the new Motion file to be the same object so that it will fill in correctly??

Motion files render as black screen in FCP

I have a Motion file I want to put into a FCP sequence. When I drag the file in, the render preview looks fine, but when I actually render it, it comes out as a black screen. This problem extends to exporting the sequence too. If I export from Motion and drag the movie file into Final Cut, it looks fine, but this is extremely tiresome as I'm frequently updating the Motion file. Can someone help?

Did you have Motion set to output as Animation codec with Millions of Colors+ ?
You may have inadvertantly included a full screen alpha channel, which would produce this effect.
Go back to Motion and change the output file to Millions of Colors only (without the +).

Export motion file

I'm having a problem with a 2.5 minute clip I have produced in Motion 3. It is a notice board with picture on. The camera zooms in and then moves around the board looking a all the pictutes.
I can not get it to import into Final Cut Express 4. So I have now being trying to export it as a movie to import. Motion starts the export, it does a about 25 - 50 sec then rushes to the end. And closes the window.
Any ideas? If I upgrade to Motion 5 would this help. I would then still be able to either import native motion file or export movie for importing into Final Cut Express.
Thanks for any help
Andy

I have reduced the size of the pictures. Also I have reduced the number of pictures in frame at the beginning an end shots. Now I'm exporting using compressor as MPEG4. This is now importing into Final Cut Express and rendering without any orange blocks.

Indesign CS3 - Changing file from all black to a pantone color

Is there an easy way to change an all black file to a specific pantone color in Indesign CS3? I've ran into this plenty of times after setting up an all black job and then the customer decides they want to see on the laser printer what it would look like in a specific pantone color. I've always had to go into each photo and text block separately to do this.

One way is to build jobs like this using a custom black ink defined as CMYK 0,0,0,100 and then all you should have to do for all elements created in IND is delete the black spot and substitute with your new spot.
Check with your printer, but in general they'll almost certainly prefer a black file to a "spot" file. So if this is just one page you can always kick out a quick PDF, rasterize in PS and place into IND, painted as the new spot. I've never been burned with this workflow, but understand that the client signs off on a proof that is a couple steps away from the file that will go to press.
I'm sure you can also export to PDF and use Acrobat's convert color utility to get what you want, but I wouldn't know how to go about it. [ed] And fiddled, and still couldn't figure it out.

Error When Exporting Motion File To Compressor

I don't know if this is a Motion issue or a Compressor issue, so I'm asking in both forums, I hope that's OK. I have a short Motion file I am exporting to Compressor. When the file get's to Compressor I get an error message: "Error trying to open source media file". I've exported this file many times successfuly, now suddenly I'm getting this. I've checked the files listed in the Media tab of the Motion project (control click, reveal in Finder) and all the source files seem to be where they are supposed to be. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I've got to get this project out the door! Thanks

I got the same problem so I hope theres somekinda solution or something I overlooked

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Saved files in illustrator turn into all black when viewing

Hi All,
I've searched through the forums + google but haven't been able to get an answer on why this is happening. Sometimes when I save files as a pdf in Illustrator, or receive files from other people the image loses it's colour.
All colour is just black. I'm attaching a screen shot so you can see what I mean, the colours here are supposed to be a shades of a PMS colour, but instead they're all black.
Hopefully someone can help!
Thanks in advance.

You should never view any PDF in any other program than Acrobat or Reader. All other viewers support only a subset of PDF standards, so they are not reliable viewer program.
The Word thing has nothing to do with Illustrator or PDF. You need to know,
in which program the Word embedded graphic was created.
how the graphic was saved as. Not every file type, which can be imported on Word in Windows is supported completely on the Mac, like EMF, WMF, but also other file types. (The other way round is also true.)
How the graphic was imported. Some people copy an image or a graphic from a source and paste it via clipboard. Which is not a good way, because it needs several system ressources from the local computer to show up in the host application, in that case in Word. If such a document is opened on a different computer, often even on the same Operating System, those images show up black. The only correct and robust way to import images in Word is via the Insert-Command or button with a compatible file selected.
Another problem might be, that an image or graphic was inserted in a version which creates docx files, like 2007 or 2010.Those versions support more graphic file types than older versions do. But because some people think, it is better to save files as DOC than as DOCX (smae with PowerPoint or Excel) for compability those images get lost and are only represented as black boxes. In my experience it happens often with PNG-24 files. It is never a good idea to save DOCX back to DOC. I inerit only problems with that workflow. (Also when I import files into InDesign I get always messed up with footnotes with this method, several get lost, several change their reference with each other, I have got DOCs where not even 1 of 400 footnotes was on its original place after import to InDesign. But this is another topic, but it is also an argument to avoid this workflow!)

How best to save photos? I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting them on a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box. Is it better to export them all, drag the Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

I am a 'newby' to the discussion world. Hope I am doing this right. How best to save photos? I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting themon a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box. Is it better to export them all, dragthe Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

Welcome to the discussions! You can use Time Machine and I would also recommend for you to manually copy your iPhoto Library (on your Pictures folder) to an external drive/thumb drive so you can restore it from there should you loose your TM backup. Exporting them from iPhoto would not preserve the libraries' integrity neither your originals, should you choose to edit them in iPhoto.

Try a hard reset:- hold the home button AND the power switch - ignore the red "Slide to power off" and wait ubntil the iPhone powers down, and then restarts - at the Apple logo, release all the buttons and see if your contacts reappear.

Export from mov to m4v all black

When exporting .mov to .m4v in Quicktime the final video is all black with no sound.

Yep. It's slow.
The only way to get a faster conversion is to use a faster machine.
Avoid the H.264 video codec (if not needed) and use MPEG-4 settings as they are less demanding on the processor.
