Motion project to Compressor - changes font with render

I have a project that is a simple opening title using Frutiger Black Condensed as the font (isn't everyone using Frutiger today?)
The font is not in my user folder. It's located in the main Library Font folder. I had this issue before and it was because the font was in the User folder. You guys helped me with that one!
The font has been validated.
There are no duplicates.
Motion sees the font and lets me set text to the font.
I export it to Compressor and the Preview in Compressor shows the correct font.
I render it using the Animation codec and the resulting QT movie has a different font.
Rendering directly out of Motion works fine, of course, but I want to use Compressor because I want to set up several to render and walk away.
Thanks for any help or tips.

how very strange I had exactly the same issue today. The .mp4 export via compressor from motion had a substituted font. I didnt have too much time to explore the situation.
the work around for me was to bring the motion project into fcp and then export it via compressor from there. Why this should be different I have no idea, but it worked.
thanks

  • CHANGE  FONT WITH JTEXTPANE

    I am using JTextPane and want the user to be able to highlight text and change font styles. How do I do this? I tried setFont but it does not work. Thanks.. Sarah

    Hello,
    did you try something like this :
    javax.swing.text.MutableAttributeSet attr = new javax.swing.text.SimpleAttributeSet();
    attr.addAttribute(javax.swing.text.StyleConstants.FontFamily, fontName);
    yourJTextPane.getStyledDocument().setCharacterAttributes(yourJTextPane.getSelectionStart(), yourJTextPane.getSelectionEnd() - yourJTextPane.getSelectionStart(), attr, false);

  • Changing Fonts with a Pre-made Template

    I am trying to change the font of the words in the premade template titled "Float." Is this even a possibility? I am having a hard time figuring it out.
    Thanks for any help.

    it's all grouped according to the dropzone...hit f5 and in your layers tab, right before the name of the group is a little arrow, click it to reveal 3 other groups, repeat the process till you see the text layer.... New to motion? Read the manual and do the tutorials.

  • Compressor changing FONT of titles???

    I'm working in HDV. The spot has numerous title cards all done in Optima Bold. Looks great. I export using Compressor to an H-264 for the web ... and the 'font' has changed slightly, no longer Optima (but I have no idea what it is.
    I noticed this happening once before. That time I did another export and the 2nd time around the font was correct.
    Have you ever heard of this? Any help would be most appreciated.
    Ben

    I have experienced this as well - I think what is happening is that when you export directly from the FCP timeline, Compressor will not interpret the DISTORT setting correctly on TEXT items. I've noticed this when exporting from Anamorphic DV sequences - the text will become squished in the resulting QT. I imagine you're seeing the same thing working in HDV.
    The solution is to export a self contained quicktime, then take THAT into Compressor. OR - use a different title generator, other than the deafult FCP TEXT - do you titles in Photoshop, or I think the Boris Title 3D module will work as well.

  • Change font with a bottom.

    Hi,
    I couldn't find an answer for this but: Is there a way to chnage the font in the front panel by pressing a button?
    As you can see, I am building a farily simple starwars-theme-application, what I want to to is to use that funky starwar font ( like the one os top of the siganl inputs), but when a button is press the font goes back to a readable font (ie; arial)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can create a property node for each of the controls you want to change.  Write the font name to the property Label.FontName.

  • Cannot quick change font with arrow key / mac

    I have been using illustrator for years on windows and just recently switched to mac.
    On the windows version of Illustrator CS5 you can preview different fonts on the desired text by just placing the cursor on the font selection bar and then simply press the up/down arrows keys. On mac it does not work that way.
    Does anybody know how i can fix this?

    I'm having the same issue on:
    PC
    Windows 7
    Adobe Illustrator CS5
    Also, at certain times I click in the font selection bar and type in the name of the font I want... or part of it and it shows up and when I hit the enter key it does not change the font but rather switches the selected font back to what it was originally on. Effectively doing nothing.

  • Rendering issues with imported Motion project in FCP

    I have various titles for a DVD prepared in Motion that are imported as project files into Final Cut Pro.
    When playing back the rendered timeline in FCP to a TV, the animation on these titles (scaling and moving of text and untextured, 100% opaque rectangles) looks fine. When I render the timeline to a QuickTime (DV PAL) they still look fine on a monitor, though obviously not a great test on a progressive display.
    After using Compressor (and a suitable preset for PAL content) and burning to a disc from DVD Studio Pro, the animation is jumpy. Some elements in the project with a Fade In/Fade Out behaviour with Fade Out duration set to 0 suddenly disappear for a short period (looks like one frame) - these objects end on the timeline in the same frame that their Fade In/Fade Out behaviour also ends.
    If I render the Motion project to a QuickTime file with transparency and overlay that in FCP then follow the same route through Compressor and DVD Studio Pro everything looks as I expected... smooth motion and no disappearing elements.
    Any ideas? Should I just keep rendering Motion projects out to separate files to overlay in FCP? That seems a bit of a waste of the integration between FCP and Motion.

    This gives me pause: AEManager::scanForPluginsInDirectory(PCString) + 1011
    I'd check for any third party plugins...

  • Rendering problems with a motion project

    Hi there,
    can anyone help?
    I have a fairly simple motion graphic which i am trying to use in an FCP edit. The Motion project is some moving text with a simple background. The project renders fine in RAM in Motion.
    The problem is that when I try and render this in FCP, the background becomes very distorted-the graphics are fine but the background isn't.
    Is there anything I can do to rectify this? Any settings etc?
    Any help would be very gratefully received!
    thanks

    You need to give the exact specifications of your Motion project and of the media in your FCP sequence and of the sequence in which the clips and the Motion project are being assembled.

  • How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being cop

    How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being copied?
    I've highlighted my sequence, opened Media Manager, and copied it to another drive. When I open up the sequence in it's new project, the rendered Motion Project plays within my sequence but it won't let me go back into this Motion Project to make changes. I tried starting over. This time I highlighted the actual motion sequence and clip that is created within FCP after sending something to Motion and copied those to the new drive. When I went into the newly created 'media' folder and double clicked on the motion project it launched. It looked liked it was going to play but while my crops moves and borders were there, the filmed material is shown as a freeze frame for the duration of the motion project.
    I did this with and without 'including master clips within selection'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is there anyone who knows the answer to this? Thanks.

  • [SOLVED]Change font issue

    Hi, im new to Arch , im happy with it so far! But I want to get my favorite font "terminus" to work. I've read the wiki and i've also checked the FAQ for urxvt how to change font with no success. Im using latest Arch and I use urxvt as my terminal and awesome as wm, and i want the font to work on those both and in luakit if its possible. I've setup my xinitrc to make terminus work i've also resintalled it ones cuz I thought the font was broken or something. I used "URxvt.font:terminus" in my $HOME/.Xdefaults with no success. Ive also tried to add it to my rc.conf but it didnt make the font work in X(i havent checked if it appears on the commandline with no X up and running).
    I hope i could get some help

    I use this for setting the inconsolata font as default in urxvt and it works just fine.
    The .Xresources didnt work for me for some reason so thats why im using Xdefaults.

  • Rendering Motion project with compressor?

    Hello,
    I've got a MacPro with MacOS X 10.5.5 and the lastest FCS2 update (so Compressor 3.0.5).
    I want to use virtual cluster to speed up the rendering of Motion project because by default, only a few part of the power is used.
    I've created a virtual cluster who works when i want to compress a QT file but no way to use it with Motion. The project appears in Batch Render but disappears after a few secondes...
    As somebody a solution?
    Thank you

    Hello Patrick...I have posted a sample video of the "layer strobing" effect I was originally referring to:
    http://gallery.mac.com/reelmagik1
    I also just heard back from the apple store, and they claim they can't find anything wrong with the Mac Pro. I have exported this project from my macbook pro with no strobing at all. The project was even opened and exported by mounting the drive from the Mac Pro on my Macbook Pro, so there was no chance of anything being changed if I had copied the project. I argued with the repair guy from Apple for quite a while, but he could not give me a definitive answer as to what might be wrong, only that their hardware tests showed nothing wrong with the Mac Pro. He went on to suggest that it may be a software problem, maybe something went wrong with the way I installed the OS or Motion...however, he also said that they tested the project on other machines in their shop, and it also rendered incorrectly on those machines. Wouldn't that mean that their machines had bad software as well? He contradicted himself many times and I was losing my patience with him. I am not saying that their tests were wrong, but I'm sure it is possible they could have missed something. What else can I do? Is there anyone else I can contact from Apple? This computer is my main source of income and I need it to function correctly.
    I have posted quite a few problems with Motion 3 on this website in the past...quite a few of which you personally responded that you had never experienced those types of problems or errors that I was having. This also leads me to believe that my problems were hardware related, specific to only my Mac Pro perhaps...
    I would appreciate any suggestions that you or anyone else may have. I don't know where else to turn. I have also posted the project and media on my iDisk:

  • Motion 5 and compressor 4 with FCP ?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use motion 5 and copressor 4 with FCP 7 ?
    Thanks
    Ivan

    Sort of – by exporting and reimporting as clips. There is no round-tripping. For example, you can't send a clip as a Motion project to Motion4, save and have the clip update in FCP. You'd have to export a clip (or sequence) as a self-contained movie and bring it into Motion (or Compressor), make your changes, exporty and reimport as a clip, see how you liked the result, etc. Much easiier to stay within FCS.

  • Compressor encoded speed change clip with echo as motorboat sound

    Took me two days to troubleshoot, through trial and error and process of elimination, why Compressor encoded an audio clip that had been speed changed and echo applied to it -- as rapid MOTORBOAT sound! Project is a 5.1 mix. Since STP3 won’t accept speed change clips, after I completed mix in STP I placed speed changed clips on FCP timeline below the exported STP 5.1 mix with the FCP audio tracks for that clip assigned to channels 1 & 2 for the fronts and channels 5 & 6 for the rears. The clip on 5 & 6 was duplicated and identical in every way to the clip on channels 1 & 2. Only the dupe clip on 5 & 6 did Compressor encode as motorboat. The identical clip on 1 & 2 encoded correctly. Both clips were set to play at same time since I wanted the effect to be on fronts and rears simultaneously. I could not get the motorboat sound to play back from either FCP timeline or Compressor preview window. Only after encode and burn to DVD did it show up. Why would Compressor introduce such artifacts on one of the clips and not both – if it’s going to do it at all – which it shouldn’t? Any ideas? I have other such effects throughout the project where I duped a speed changed clip with an effect applied to it and set it to play on fronts and rears simultaneously and Compressor encoded those correctly.

    Well, it's a little late, but this is one of the reasons to have your startup drive cloned so you can restore it to a working state if an update, upgrade or install sends things south.

    Have you tried resetting your fcp preferences
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
    If this doesn't fix the problem, you could try sending the shot to motion.  You could aslo try changing the speed in the motion tab of the viewer.

  • Motion project with inverted dominance

    Hi all,
    I'm working in PAL DV, and I have a credit roller saved as a Motion project, to be added to my FCP sequence.
    It needs to be field-based, but I notice when I import the project the fields are in the wrong order (inverted dominance)
    I've checked my FCP seq settings (standard DV PAL preset, with lower first)
    and my Motion project settings (standard DV PAL preset, with lower first)
    I can fix it with the "shift fields" filter or by changing the Motion project settings to Upper first, but why do I need to do this ????
    Can anyone else duplicate this problem, or is my system in trouble?
    cheers

    Hi David,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I created test projects for FCP and Motion, and (as per my orig. post) I still have to change the Motion project to Upper to make it work correctly in FCP
    You said there was a bug in Motion1 where the field setting was reversed?
    I would say that is what I am experiencing in Motion2...
