Motion files wont render properly via qmaster

I have created animation in motion including some psd files. I have set up the render farm on two computers and its working just fine except one small issue. When the animation is being rendered(using compressor) on another computer the place where psd files suppose to be is empty. There is a hole in the animation and everything else is just fine. When the render is being done on the computer where the animation has been created everything looks fine at the end. I think the problem is that the other computer needs psd files and since psd files are on other machine the animation comes out strange.

I have solved my problem with the rendering of the motion templates in fcp
You can now select the render quality of motion templates in the preferences. I did not know this and the settings by default are set at normal. You can choose draft, normal, or best. Best so I set the quality to best and bingo. problem solved.
Setting Render Preferences for Motion Master Templates and Motion Projects
Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 is preset to render Motion templates and Motion projects at Normal quality. If the render quality is not adequate, you can change the render setting for Motion templates and projects in the Render Control tab of the User Preferences window.
When Motion master template and project rendering is set to Normal, Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 renders your templates at the same quality seen when rendering the templates at Normal quality in Motion.

  • Motion files wont overlay with my fcp file

    I am having trouble getting my motion file to integrate with my fcp file.
    I would like to import it without the background so that it has a transparent background.
    I have read a few others comments on this but i still cant figure it out...
    please explain this to me as you would a 4 year old...so i can get it:)
    thanks
    mac book pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    hey man,
    thanks for helping me out...i am new to this program...
    i have a fcp file and i want to place an element of motion over it...i would like to be able to have the element to be transparent with no background.
    i have browsed through project properties and didn't find anything there that would help(that i know of)
    i have tried to adjust the "color" to "alpha overlay"(found in the upper right hand corner next to "view")
    i have tried to just import the motion project into fcp...
    so as you can see i have no idea what i am doing:)

  • Imported project File wont render!?

    My editor has given me my film(15min) on a hard drive which he edited on FCP. I open the project fine on my computer but it needs rendering. I wait the 2 hours for it to render when - at 98% - it kind of does nothing. Stays there forever and when it eventually says it's done it - it isn't. It plays back with 'unrendered' logo.
    On the same hard drive the original media files are there.
    I am new to FCP - I may be doing something obviously wrong so please stae the obvious.
    Cheers

    Done that which partly worked but it lead me to realise that not all the media files were in the same location - hence it would only render what was there.
    Now I've got the media files all is good and working. Can at last work on my edit.
    Thanks

  • Oracle service wont stop properly via net stop

    Hi all,
    A bit of advice required please!
    We have 2 Oracle instances running on the same server, and every night the services are meant to shut down via a scheduled task from a batch file using net stop.
    Most of the time, one of the services fails to stop. The command line says oracle service could not be stopped. Sometimes, this seems to crash the service, ie: it appears started but doesn't work and needs re starting.
    To combat this, i am in early every morning to restart the services before people arrive! if someone could point me in the right direction as to what co6uld be causing this i would be gratefull!
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: user10873866 on 30-Jan-2009 00:06

    Well, for me the best way seems to contact with third party who installed everything and ask for their help.
    If You don't have knowledge regarding what is running and how it's running, then probably don't touch it.
    And by the way explanation for net stop failure could be this:
    When you do a "net stop" windows tries to stop the service. The default behaviour is to shutdown the related instance in immediate mode. But, there's a timeout defined by the ORA_SID_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT registry value. Till 9i it was 30 seconds. On 10g it's 90sec default. This means that when Windows tries to shutdown the service, in mode immediate, if in 30/90sec the instance isn't stopped it'll be shutdown abort.
    And fo rproduction database shutdown abort is probably not the best what You can perform each night.
    In alert.log You could see what exactly happens during net stop. alert.log is under bdump directory, if You can do sqlplus "/as sysdba" to the database and execute
    show parameter background
    then You will see there bdump is located on Your system.

  • 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 +).

  • Files wont copy from Server via AFP to local Drive

    Hi All,
    I'm having trouble copying iMovie project files from an xServe to a local drive. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.9, and what happenes is when I open the mount and find the file, I drag it accross the the users home folder-> movies folder and copy it. Problem is the source file is 3.14 gigs, and when it copys it copys a file thats 997KB is size, everytime and says its done sucsessfully. Obviously the file wont open.
    Can anyone Help?

    I guess your having some permisssions lingo. iMovie projects are folders that are presented by the Finder as if it were files.

  • Kerning Caution! It can kill your Motion file.

    Kern carefully. There is a bug that can render your motion file un-openable!
    I will describe it in detail here to see if anyone else can reproduce it. I was able to reproduce it consistently, even with a new file.
    I wanted to adjust the beginning of a text line to closely line up to another text member. There are many ways to do this. In this instance I chose to kern the space before the first character of the text line in order to shift the entire line.
    Don't do this! It will kill your motion file.
    When I tried to render a movie  (Share/Export Movie...) after making this adjustment, here is the error message.
    I saved the file, hoping that restarting Motion would fix the problem. But the project file will not open.
    Luckily I had a backup of the file. I did a bit of trouble shooting after this and found that this type of kerning would consistently kill the project file. This is a very nasty bug. There may be more like this so proceed with caution when kerning.

    Hope you have reported this to Apple Tracy via the Motion Help menu to http://www.apple.com/feedback/motion.html
    I will stay away from kerning for now, thanks for the heads up!

  • Premiere Elements 11 wont render work area???

    Hi, I'm having an issue with Premiere Elements 11.  I'm workng on a video project, and I need to render my timeline for smooth preview playback, but everytime I hit render, it just plays the timeline, without rendering anything.  That little box doesn't come up or anything.

    For the couple that do have the orange line and rendered, that is normal. And, you are saying there are those with orange line over content, that will not? And, they are all supposed to be the same footage?
    No, the ones that have the orange line as normal WILL render as normal.
    There are several clips for this video, all recorded with the same settings with the same camera, but only 1 or 2 that will render properly. The others have no orange bar at the top like they should.
    There are gray tabs in the WorkArea Bar above the Timeline. They should be spanning the content on the Timeline. Is any of your Timeline content no being spanned by the setting of these gray tabs of the WorkArea Bar?.
    I'm afraid you lost me there. I'm not sure what you mean by "spanning'". 
    As for your workaround, what is your export choice and settings so that you get footage for a subsequent project, footage that performed better than the original?
    720P 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz  in quicktime format.
    It renderd pretty much lossless (or if there is loss its so subtle that I can't see it)  But apperantly my system can handle it better that way then it can footage right off the iphone.
    Have you taken the time to look at the properties that you are putting on the Timeline, such as, video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, progressive or interlaced, file extension, pixel aspect ratio and such? Your App needs some looking at. Does that iPhone have a variable frame rate? Lots of questions that may or may not have anything to do with this specific rendering issue, but probably do as regards the prognosis for your overall project.
    The setting on my app is "1280x720" resolution, and 30 fps.  I can adjust fps down all the way to 1fps if I want to (idk why I'd want to do that, lol)  but I normaly shoot at 30, and thats what these where shot at.
    If you have a screenshot of the Timeline track content that will not render (with the orange line over them), please post in your next post. It would be helpful to review your overall Timeline setup.

    Hope that helps.
    Iphone won't edit easily because it uses a variable frame rate
    - A possible fix in message #22
    Well, the app is set for 30fps.  Besides, that fix wont work cuz I don't have quicktime pro.

  • Some pages don't render properly after Java update for OSX 10.6.8

    I can't seem to get T-mobile.com's website pages to render properly anymore. So far, this is the only website I'm having this issue with, though there could be more I'm not aware of.
    I go to www.t-mobile.com and this is what I get:
    I think I might be missing a plug-in, but not sure; if so, I don't know which one or how to get it.
    This only started happening after the latest Java update for OSX 10.6.8, which I installed on Feb. 24, 2013. All of T-mobile's pages look like this, except if I go to www.my.t-mobile.com's home page. Then I get a normal page, but after I log in, I get more wierd rendering issues again. So here's the page that appeared normal today:
    And after I log in successfully, I'm back to the wierd rendering issues again:
    I was so lost but then I decided to try a work around to get my online bill and managed to get it, but I don't want to see the pages like this. So help please?

    So, here's more on my point...
    I put in the 3 captured screen shots in my original post above. I used Grab to copy the web pages, saved them to my desktop as .tiff files and dropped them in for others to view. This morning, I went to look at my post and instead of seeing the screen shots, I see 3 tiny blue boxes with question marks. When I left click on the boxes, nothing happens. When I right click on them, I get options that are not helpful:
    Open Image in New Window
    Open Image in New Tab
    Download Image
    Copy Image Address
    Import Image
    Capture Selection from Screen
    Convert Selected Traditional Chinese Text (why the frack is this an option?)
    Convert Selected Simplified Chinese Text (or this an option?)
    I checked my Safari Preferences and I see I have checked, under Security, Enable plug-ins, Enable Java, Enable JavaScript.I have to have Java enabled to run a few things.
    Did something get corrupted in Safari?
    Am I'm missing some plug-ins?
    How do I get them back?
    I'm going to search the internet. Well, after doing the search, I still don't think I've got what I need. Thinking I might need to reinstall Safari. If this is the case, will I loose all my Bookmarks?

  • 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.

  • Blurring of text once motion file is imported to FCP

    I've been experiencing this problem for a while now. I guess this could have been posted in the motion forum as well. When I create a simple text screen (black solid background) in Motion it looks as it should, but when I import that same file into FCP the text seems to lose a lot of quality and becomes blurred. Sometimes the quality is so bad that the crosses on T's and the dots on I's are not visible!
    Both motion & fcp projects are set to 25fps. When I open Motion to start a new project I normally leave it to default (pal dv i think)
    I'm sure this can easily be corrected so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
    Alex

    Still receiving a number of Motion to FCP problems.
    Not only is the text blurring when imported into FCP but motion files with for instance a particle emitter/behaviour (such as stars moving towards frame) is taking nearly 2 hours to render & even then when i go to play the file in fcp the timeline freezes with a 'dropped frames' pop up appearing.
    Help?!

  • Sending Motion files to Color?

    I'm trying to send a clip from fcp that was previously manipulated in Motion, to Color. When I send the clip into Color the sequences that were worked in Motion show as red empty boxes indicating the need to be "reconnected to media". I cant find the media. In FCP the clip "sequence 1.motn" renders properly. Is it possible to send a .motn file to Color or am I just missing where the .motn file is stored. Am I not understanding a technical point.

    You need to export the motion project to QT, place in FCP timeline then send to Color. Color is unable to import motion files. See Color User Manual page 84 for a list of compatible QT codecs that are allowed to be imported into Color.

  • Why can't I File-export-render video into a mpeg 4 rendering into a small .mov file format in cs6?

    I create short videos using the PS frame animation panel. I used to be able to FILE-export-render video- and choose MPEG-4 Video in the settings panel which would render my file into a small .mov file. Now in CS6 the new render video panel does not have that option. I tried the QT options in the export window and my file is hugh! The H.264 option gives me an .mp4. I put the .mp4 into my web page via Dreamweaver and my video does not play when uploaded into the sever. The video plays fine in Dreamweaver before I upload to the server. After I upload to the server I just get a Q and no video on my web page.  If I render the same file in CS5 I am able to view it in my web page.
