Sending final cut clips to Motion

I did this just yesterday, and it worked fine, now all of a sudden when I go to send a clip to motion, it just shows up black in motion!! The clips not there!!
Suggestions??

Be sure the clip is set to 'read and write' in FCP.
Along these lines, when I try to send a clip to Motion, I am getting a clip open in Motion , but the wrong one. Same thing in Shake. What appears is a different segment of the original captured video, but not the bit part that I have edited into my timeline and tried to send. What am I missing?

  • Sending FCP 7 Clips to Motion 5

    Is anyone else having an issue sending Final Cut Pro 7 clips directly to motion 5? Whenever I attempt to do this, it opens in motion 5, but doesn't show up. It's in the timeline, but the window is just black. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how to fix it.
    Thanks.

    well it depends on the precise nature of the job in hand, but if there is a lot of multi layering, I might export as many movies as I  have layers. Or if there are only a few extra bits and pieces I might add those to the end of the layer and cut it back up and reposition in Motion. Its not an exact science, and as yet there is no official integration between fcpx and M5 yet. There may be some third party xml solution, but to be honest most of the time its just as easy and more robust to export movies from fcp.

  • Final cut generator in motion 5.1

    I can't save the category in final cut generator in motion 5.1?
    Is posible to lock and unlock publish?

    A Motion project can also be "Published" as a FCPX Generator.
    When working with a Motion project, select "Publish Template"
    In the sheet that appears, you'll need to enable "Publish as Final Cut Generator"
    Also you need to create a new category for it to reside in.
    Once you do, the Motion project will appear as a generator within FCPX.

  • Missing Final Cut X and Motion from my purchase history.

    My old laptop died. Apple was kind enough to replace the computer, but when I log into the app store, my Final Cut X and Motion apps are missing from my purchases. I haven't encountered this before, and I'm not quite sure what to do. Help!

  • Final Cut working with motion

    I am used to working with final cut express and livetype where I would do the following:
    - edit my videos
    -export to livetype
    -create edit my animations / text over video
    -import livetype files to my final cut project for final editing
    I have just purchased final cut pro x and Motion 5 and cant understand how to acheive the same sort of workflow. I want to be able to edit my videos together in final cut and then take that into Motion to add my animations etc over the top. Is there no easy way of doing this? i.e can I export final cut project to motion or open the 2 together?
    In Livetype it used to export final cut markers which was essential to adding animations at the right points in my edit?
    Thanks
    Alistair

    Not sure why you're responding to me BenG (loved your movies by BTW, woof), but since you have responded to me I would agree ripple training is grand.  Whether it's a more powerful workflow is certainly subjective.  If someone is intimately familiar with LiveType, it's beautifully archaic GUI, and it's roundtrip features (not offered in Motion 5) then in practice for specific types of graphic compositing, LT is arguably a more powerful workflow.  It all depends on your goals and your point-of-view.

  • Final Cut Pro to Motion 4

    Is it possible to send pre keyed footage from final cut to motion and have the filters stay?

    Yes.
    No.
    Maybe.
    What format? What filters?
    Generally, I do not think using the roundtrip feature is a good idea if you are doing filters. Apply your filters and render. Export the rendered footage as self-contained movies to Motion. Or do you keying and then apply your filters.

  • Sending Final Cut Project to Another editor

    Does anybody know what's the best way to send a Final Cut Project to an editor in another city? I need it to include all the clips, the audio, and the sequence. You're suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    MAC book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Try using Media Manager to completely copy all the project's media to the firewire drive. It's easy to miss imported files or images which might not be in your capture scratch or render folders. Media Manager should make a complete copy of the project for you on another drive, so they'll have access to everything.

  • Exporting final cut clips on disk

    Hi all, I'm a new Mac user as well as well as a learner on Final cut express 4. The problem I have is when I export a finished sequence by burning it to disk the footage freezes when I open the clip up straight of the disk, if I copy the file off the disk to the desk top it plays back fine. Is this normal or should it play back straight off the disk. I am working in HD apple intermediate codec 1280 x 1080, I think I have the export settings correct. If I do the the same process with i movie it plays back fine. I need to be able to export the file to clients for use on there websites and other areas so I need to get the recipe right, I just don't want to waste time sending out clips that they cant open properly, can any help before I pull out what's left of my hair.

    Hi thanks for your reply, I just burnt the file off my scratch drive to a dvd so I'm guessing I have created a data file, I'm not the most computer savvy punter in the world. To create an mpeg 2 file I would have to go through iDVD to export, is this correct? All i want to achieve is to be able to deliver a clip to a clients IT department so they can can arrange it to suit there needs. Am I on the right track? Thanks for your help, the web is a wonderful thing.

  • WHAT IS THE BEST VIDEO CARD FOR FINAL CUT PRO and MOTION?

    Hello folks,
    I have found a lot of posts regarding all kinds of troubles with ATI READEON X1900 video card.
    When I talked to people from Apple, trying to decide which videocard to install in new MAC PRO, Ati Radeon X1900 was the one they did recommand for FCP and Motion. So are there any other cards which would actually suite better for Final Cut Studio2, or is Ati Radeon X1900 really the one to go with?
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Kootenay

    Techreport has some more information on the new 55nm Radeon (X3000) which should be another "mid November" releases, as well as an updated 8800 GT that still is under wraps.
    So seems Intel and everyone else is trying to get new products out before the end of the year, if possible.
    Drivers for graphics controllers may or may not need the work that sometimes seems to plague companies.

  • Do I need to have Final Cut to run Motion?

    Hello guys,
    I understand that I can purchase Motion 5 (and Compressor 4) as stand alone applications, but I was wondering:
    Do I need to have Final Cut installed in order to run it?
    Just use it to create animated graphics, then export it as a self contained file and use it in any editing program.
    And I was also wondering if Motion 5 would run OK on a new iMac (27 inch one with NVIDIA GE FORCE GTX 775 card).
    Thank you so much for your feedback,
    Paul

    You do not need to have Final Cut installed to run Motion or Compressor.  Each app can run as a stand-alone. Some functionality is enhanced when running them in combination. Motion will run just fine on any current hardware.  You can always check the system requirments to know if the applications will run on a particular computer.

  • Final Cut Express 4 motion keyframing

    I'm thoughly famaliar with FCP6, but haven't seen Final Cut Express since FCE Version 2.
    I've been asked to teach FCE4 to a friend, but haven't seen it yet and am trying to prepare.
    Is motion keyframing (scaling, cropping) handled the same way in FCE4 as it is in FCP6
    (ie. in the motion tab of the Viewer), or do you have to do it in the timeline overlay area?
    Thanks.
    Message was edited by: brvideo

    Yes, FCE4 handles keyframing the same way as FCP6. You can do it in the motion tab of the viewer or by clicking the keyframe button in the canvas to add a universal keyframe to all motion parameters. You can do the scaling, cropping, etc. in the motion tab or in the canvas if it is in Image+Wireframe mode.
