Optical Flow - Work Flow for Project Tips?

Hello, I have a 45 second sequence in FC and all of the clips are in Slow motion.
I sent one clip to Motion to add the optical flow to get the super smooth slow motion. The clip looks 100 times more professional.
But I have several clips. How can I do them all at once while away from my computer?
Do I export the movie as self contained, then import into Motion or is there a better way with exporting.

Andy, so I finally got it rendered on a Dual Core. I did as you said and selected the clips I wanted to send to Motion. I analyzed and when it went back into FCP it was all one long clip instead of individual clips and between two different shots there was 10 frames or so of black throwing off my time line and timing to the beat. Does anyone know what step I may have skipped??
Also,
I'm trying to render this simple triple stacked text with a light ray keying from left to right in V1 via filters tab.

But my comp gives this message: "The effect"Light Rays" failed to render: Your hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth"
REALLY???
Just plane confused. Is it a preference thang?
Thanks.

  • Does motion 5 have optical flow for slow mo?

    Hey
    Does motion 5 have the optical flow option to create a slow motion effect ?
    Cheers

    Thanks for the help,
    I am also wondering can you apply this in motion 5, then render/export the clip to be edited in imovie '11 or do I also need FCP X ?

  • Optical flow for speed change clips

    Im just found out about optical flow. what speeds is it worth using it on?
    Ive got some clips that I want to play between 40% and 80%.
    just asking because in the tutorial I saw they where using it on a clip at 10%
    thnaks for any advise

    I see two issues.
    One is that your source footage is 15 frames per second. Most video that iMovie sees is 30 frames per second or 25 frames per second.
    Second issue is that you don't appear to have the Apple Intermediate Codec component installed on your system. When the footage can't be speed adjusted natively, iMovie will convert the footage to Apple Intermediate Codec at 30 frames per second so that the speed adjustment can be applied.
    So, you need to reinstall iMovie from the original iLife 09 disks. If iLife 09 was preinstalled on your Mac, reinstall it from the Leopard Disks that came with your Mac.
    You are missing the file called AppleIntermediateCodec.component in the MacintoshHD/Library/QuickTIme/ folder.

  • Optical flow equivalent for slo-mo?

    Hi all...
    I have been very interested in discussions about really amazing slo-mo footage, and I did post here recently about my 60fps 7-d footage and how to work with it. I did a test and it worked out well.
    Here is my query;
    Instead of paying thousands for a Phantom camera... ---amazing really... you should check out Tom Guilmettes new site and see his "locked in a hotel room with a phantom' video.. awsome results-- I have seen that with a Final Cut Pro plugin called 'Optical Flow' I saw 7-d footage slowed down to 1% of original speed!!!! and it looked great!!!
    Admittedly, that is far too slow for any useable purpose (for me) but it would open up all kinds of great possibilities.. without the humoungous expense of these pro cameras..
    Is there a similar plugin like Optical flow for Premiere pro6? Or any other workflows (programs) to get my slow-mo's down as if I had shot at say 120FPS instead of only the maximum 60 FPS of my 7-D?
    Thanks all...

    Timewarp in after effects is almost as good as twixtor (it's got few tweaks for difficult scenes but does pretty well).   Unfortunately you do have to drop in to After Effects to use it
    I was rather hoping it was going to be in CS6 like Warp Stablizer is, because those were the two effects I used most. 

  • Hi, I'm doing a poor man's morph project on my motion 4 . It works perfect while on motion , but when I try to import it to tcp it will transfer the photos but not the optical flow fx. what am I doing wrong?

    Hi I don't know if I was able to send this question before but here it goes again. I'am doing a poor man's morph project on my motion 4 program, and it works great while in Motion, but once I try to import it to fcp, it will import the photos but not the optical flow fx, what am I doing wrong? I appreciate you help

    Decided to use cmd A to select all the icons on the desktop and then looked for a right click option.   There it was - the option to move to a folder.   I now have them all in this folder which tells me it holds 157 items.   Now you know why I needed to know LOL
    Thought it might be of help to someone.

  • Anybody got a better work flow for backing up multiple shoot day projects?

    Many of my projects are shot over multiple days. I import media at the end of each day and back up the event to another drive before deleting media from cameras/cards. So on day 2 I have one of three work flows for updating my back-ups.
    1. If I'm feeling lucky. I delete the previous back-up project from the back-up drive. And then make a new copy of the original event and add the date to the title after the word copy.
    2. I make a new copy of the event to the backup drive and date it. When it's done copying and been verified I delete the back-up event from the same back-up drive.
    3. I've just started copying new clips from the original media folder in the original event to the back-up project. It's more work keeping track of all the newly added media files and there is more chance of making an ommision.
    Anybody got a better work flow for backing up multiple shoot day projects?

    What you need:
    You will need two identical external drives and a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner. CCC is free. The drives could be USB 2 if all you are doing is backing up. If you plan on editing with the drive(s), you'll want firewire. Each needs to be large enough to contain the raw card contents for the duration of your gig.
    The Process:
    At the end of the first day's recording, connect the two drives to your computer (if firewire, daisy chain them / if USB, you'll need two USB 2.0 ports)
    On the first hard drive (Drive 1) create a folder - call it BigDealLecture
    Inside of BigDealLecture, create a folder and use the nameing convention  "BDL_Date_card number for that day" - so if you used 2 cards today, you should create BDL_2012-02-15_01 and BDL_2012-02-15_02
    Attach your card reader or camera to the system.
    Lock the cards so they can not be erased
    Insert Card 1 into the reader
    Select ALL contents of the card and copy them to the folder you created for the first card for today
    When it is complete, eject the card, insert card 2, copy its contents to the folder for card 2
    eject the card
    Launch CCC and do a clone of Drive 1 to Drive 2. You can set it to do a complete block by block clone or an incremental backup. Either will work.
    When finished cloning, test a random sample of the clips on both drives to make sure they work.
    When satisfied the copies work, put Drive 2 in the hotel safe.
    Put the Drive 1 in a place where you can grab it if there is an emergency in the night and erase the cards to get ready for the next day.
    Take Drive 1 with you to the lecture site the next day.
    Rinse and repeat daily.
    When the conference is over, send one of the drives via FedEx or some other same day service to your office. Pack the second drive in your bags for the trip home.
    A note: If you have enough downtime durning the conference between obligations, you can do the transfer from the cards to Drive 1 on site and do the clone when you get back to your room. Don't unlock and erase the cards until you are satisfied the copy/clone process was without incident.
    Have fun.

  • Optical flow retime not working

    i am using a backup library and event for a project and now the projects retimes with optical flow with 24p photage are really stuttery, they where not this way in the original project ... any idea why? Ive tried different thinks but i am still getting the same results.

    This problem has also crippled my normal workflow for the past few months, but thankfully I think it's been fixed. I ran the latest OSX software update 3 or 4 days ago (I think it's at 10.8.2 now), but was relulcant to check if optical flow was fixed because the notes about the update mentioned nothing about it. Yesterday, however, I dared to try using Optical flow on a clip just to humour myself, but it worked! Try running Software Update and see if that works for you.
    I'm still a little upset though that thoughout the past few months where FCPX users on Mountain Lion complained about this problem, Apple never said a word about acknowledging the issue, that a fix was on the way, or announced that the issue was fixed. I for one sent about 5 feedback bug reports every 2 weeks about the problem and never received a single response.

  • What is it best to feed Motion for good slow motion with optical flow?

    What I mean is: what type of footage does the retiming work with best? I shot some footage in 1920x1080p using a shutter speed of 1/1000 under the assuption that having each frame as sharp as possible (little to no motion blur) would improve the vector analysis of optical flow. Unfortunately, the resulting slowdown isn't very smooth. (50% slowdown is decent but not great and anything slower looks choppy). I don't know if this was due to the shutter speed and progressive frames or simply the nature of the material (A swimmer doing the butterfly stroke, i.e a lot of splashing water) My first test for opticalflow retiming was 1920x1080i at 1/60 shutter (pouring water in a glass). Results were a bit blurry but a lot smoother. Any tips? (interlaced or progressive? slow or fast shutter?) Thanks.

    Thanks for tip David. I work at a middle school, we shoot a lot of district functions with three cameras then use the multiclip function of FCP. If I bought three of these cameras do you think they will work well in that environment? here is our workflow:
    1. Sync cameras with a clapper at the start of show.
    2. Import into FCP
    3. Mark inpoint at the sound of the clapper
    4. Create the multiclip sequence and edit
    We have done 50 or so shows like this with 14 year olds as the editors and the results are very nice. I would like to move to the hard drive based camera. Being in education we are on a tight budget. Think three of these camerass would work in this environment?
    Thanks so much for your expert advice.

  • Exporting variable speed slo mo to Motion for optical flow, how?

    Greetings,
    I have FCP 7 and Motion 4. I am new to using Motion. I want to either export a variable speed clip from FCP to Motion and add the optical flow feature, or build a variable speed change in Motion, but I can't figure out how to do either!
    The 20 second clip is in reverse-slow-mo, and progressively gets slower (from -38% to -4%) as set in FCP using keyframes. When I "send" the clip & it opens in Motion, the in-out points aren't recognized, (the whole unedited clip shows up) and when I set the timing to "variable" in the inspector, (under "timing", for time remap) the clip disappears in the timeline altogether.
    I've also tried to create a QT of the clip as 100% but in reverse (just to have less to build in Motion) but I cannot figure out how on earth to use the graph in Motion (under time remap, variable speed) to create a variable speed change to progressively slow down. This is the key issue for me-- how to create variable speed change in Motion??
    I tried one other thing in Motion, the "add behavior", and added "Speed Change", couldn't figure out this method either-- how to make clip progressively slow down, and also how to apply the optical flow to that speed change (seems optical flow only works with time remap method?) Any help would be greatly appreciate.
    AKJ

    Although it does occur, the media isn't ALWAYS mangled... did you try workflow 1 above?
    As far as I can tell from your description, baking the speed change in before sending to Motion is not going to work as the clip will already be retimed.
    I agree, changing versions mid project is a bad idea. When faced with this recently, I bought a $50 500gb hard drive, installed Leopard and the new version of Final Cut Studio onto it, booted into that drive, opened up a COPY of my project in the FCP7 and did what I needed.
    I found no issues, so just continued in FCP7. However, if I did find issues, I would have done only what I needed the new version for, then rebooted back into the drive with FCP6, opened my original project, then imported the results.

  • Work Flow for Manually Disabling Account and Reporting on Disabling Account

    Hi All
    THis is my First Time To Create Work Flow for Idm Project Please Help me
    i want Work Flow for Manually Disabling Account and Reporting on Disabling Accounts
    Please Tell me How I will have to start, to create the code, I know how to configure but may be I will use BPEL or Through Netbeans and plugin I will use.
    please provide me sample code, so that I can start workflow work

    Thats configurable buddy ! ! And possible in 10G and 11G both versions.
    Functional Roles : These are the groups/roles in OIM 10g/11g with access policies attached at the backend.
    - Create a dummy resource and name it Request Role or anything as you like. Attach an Object Form to it and have form field for Role Name, this would be a lookup type field linked to all OIM groups (leave system values using lookup query). So a user can select any OIM Group in this request as per configuration. Have approval workflows defined on this dummy resource Request Role and in its Provisioning Process make user/s a part of the requested group.
    - Now once the user is made a part of the group, the associated access policy would be invoked automatically and thereby provisioning. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that create the access policy without approval (there is a check box). If you do this the approvals would never be invoked even if you assign a group manually to the user coz it suppresses all the approvals in this access policy.
    IT Roles : These would be linked to the resource and you can define individual approvals on the resources as required.These approvals would be required if someone raises a request for these resources individually.
    Thanks

  • Speeding up footage: Best in FCP or does Optical Flow work better?

    Quick consensus guys: I have footage of a woman rolling a burrito, but unfortunately she did it verrrrrrrry slow! I know in FCP I can simply change the speed there, but I was wondering if Optical flow also works better for "Fast-motion"?
    I know optical flow is more for simulating a smooter "over-cranking" effect or ramping, but what about for my application here?
    As always, thanks for your time and advice.
    -Mike

    And I forgot to imply, using optical flow would be in Motion.

  • Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

    I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
    This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
    How can this be achieved?

    Tyr to do like this,
    1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
    2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
    3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
    4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
    5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing  assign the multiline container element name in the   for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
    &COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]&   -------->     &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
    Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

  • Trigger of Import Declaration (Work List) for SO based inbound flows in ECC

    Hello Experts,
    I am running a feasability study for GTS Customs managment Import. My client is using SO based flows for the return flows (SO-Delivery-Mtrl Document). In order to use local clearance (to avoid VAT and Customs Fee) we need to set this flow up in SAP and enable the doucment transfer from ECC to GTS.
    We have come up with a few high level alternatives for the trigger for the GTS Import Declaration. It would be great if you could have a look on them and let us know your thoughts. What is feasible and what is not? Any recommendations?
    Alt 1: Create Z program for the RFC call to GTS which basically is a copy of the standard program but it modifies the SO to be perceived as an PO in GTS and the Delivery to be perceived as an Inbound Delivery.
    Alt 2: Use the SPL check which is set up in GTS Compliance management. Might be an alternative since the SO and Delivery is transferred to GTS for the SPL check. We should be able to find some user exit or BADI in the SPL check from where we can trigger det SO and Delivery to the Work List in GTS Customs Management.
    Alt 3: Integrate the feeder system with GTS as an external system. This will require that we have IDoc outputs from the SO and Delivery on the feeder side and that we activate BAdI for Mapping External Data with or w/o Document Reference in GTS.
    Alt 4: Treat the SO import flow as an Export flow in GTS (triggering it through a proforma document on the feeder side) but configure the activity sequence according to the Customs Authorities import specification.
    Another question that we have is relating to GTS Inventory Management which we must use in order to use local clearance procedure. Is it possible to set up GTS inventory management without a Customs Warehouse and without configuring the Customs ID on the feeder side? Could it be used with the any of the alternatives above?    
    Any input is welcomed.
    Thank you and best regards
    Andreas

    You mentioned that you are looking  to use local clearance (to avoid VAT and Customs Fee), I read this as using the customs warehouse functionality in GTS. 
    If you have the customs warehouse set up, you may want to check out the returns order movement type (651)  This is what the GTS library says: u201CThe system treats returns orders with returns deliveries (651) in the feeder system just like a receipt posting from a regular goods movement, because you post goods receipts in the feeder system by choosing a goods issue based on an outbound delivery. The customs warehouse handles these postings just like goods receipts, however, and therefore analogous to regular goods movements for customs warehouse receipts, with movement type 101.u201D
    So if you have a goods receipt, you can create a entry into the customs warehouse. To get it out, youu2019d need some type of outbound movement. GTS would see this as an issue (reduction) of the customs warehouse. This outbound does not necessarily need a connection with a specific PO.
    Also, for customs warehouse, this outbound movement, if it is customs cleared in the country where the customs warehouse is located is a u201Cdomestic movementu201D. 
    If a material is flagged as batch relevant, you can add a batch reference at the time of PO, or inbound delivery.  For sales, you can add at time of SO or goods issue.
    This batch number serves as a link for the transaction data.  This number allows you to track the materials in a transaction through the purchas/mfg/sale process.  Attached to the number can be a great deal of info on the material in the transaction. Through the batch reporting, you can track forwards or backwards all the follow-on transactions associated with the batch.

  • Regarding work flow for credit block release in sales order

    Dear Experts,
    Kindly help me with work flow-
    my scenario is if customers credit limit of 5000$ exceeds in sales order it should be blocked and notification should go to authorize person through simple mail to release this block.
    for this i have done settings in out control i have used output type krml and determined partner as employee responsible to release block in customer master but mail is not triggered to authorized person for credit block and how i can create work flow for this so that authorized person should get notify for credit block as well he releases block also.
    Regards
    Supriya

    Dear supriyaparimal,
    Please find the below points to fix your issue.
    1. Configure the out put determination by using the condition type KRML.(Hope oyu have done it already).
    2.Maintain the condition records in VV11 for condition type "KRML"
    3.Then select the condition record and click the communication tab .
    4. If you want to give any information you can use "Note for recipient".
    5. If the information has to be sent to relevant person you recipient name in the recipient column.
    Save the documnet.
    If you raise the sales order and if it is blocked then system automatically send the information to respective person.
    You can get this in formation in ""SBWP" transaction code.
    Check the in box, the information what you have mentioned in the condition records will be appeared.
    Please let me know if you have any clarifications
    Thanks&Regards
