Very choppy footage when trying to edit a clip in motion 5

Hi there, I have just recently got Motion 5 and have wanted to use it to add some tracking points to some of my footage to add some effects.  However my problem is that even importing footage into motion of a very simple 10 second camera pan shot, I can't even play it back with out it stopping a bunch and skipping frames and essentially sputtering to try and play the clip.  However the exact same clip I can pull into FCPX and edit it no problems completely smooth with no issue, even after color correction and added audio ect.  I can't figure out why it does this but Motion does this to me a lot.  Any ideas?  It's very frustrating, but if I could fix this problem I could continue experimenting with visual effects to see what motion can do for me.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

What codec is the clip? FCPX is designed to play well with some compressed codecs that Motion will struggle with. Depending on your system, if you are working with H.264, it may cause  Motion to play back at reduced frame rates and/or inconsistently; it will work better if you first convert it to some flavor of Pro Res.
Otherwise, consider adjusting the resolution and quality in the Render drop down menu. You could also do a RAM preview for real time playback, although you'll have to render each time you make a change.
FWIW, I'd transcode and adjust resolution if necessary.
Good luck.

    I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

    At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
    When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
    - If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
    - If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

    Hi,
    We need more information of the issue page. As suggested by Mokhtar, you could check if the issue is related to permission.
    The issue might also occurs to the page which is developed based Ajax registration. Then it might be caused by AAM configuration.
    And you could also refer to the link below if the issue is related to SSRS:

  • After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos

    After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos. How do I fix this as this is the latest update?

    If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library. Do I have to import all my thousands of photos into the new library?
    In his original post the poster referenced the following. As to the new Library, see the end.
    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. *Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. *Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *If none of these help*:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Java error when trying to edit file - access denied

    We have been running Vibe 3.0 for a couple years with no issues but suddenly users have begun to get java errors when trying to edit a file from Vibe. When a file entry is opened and the "Edit this file" link is clicked, a dialog pops up that says :
    Error from command:
    java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)
    Has anyone else seen this? Could it be related to some windows security update perhaps? Any ideas how to resolve would be appreciated. This happens with regular users as well as admin.
    Vibe is running on SLES 10 with mysql. We are using IIS Windows Authentication.
    Thanks

  • When trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

    After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines.

  • Elements 11 organizer has stopped working when trying to edit an album?

    Has anyone run into this?
    The only place I've had the problem is when trying to edit an album.  After it stops working, elements 11 just shuts down.
    Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate. 
    Thanks...

    Great.. you figured that out
    Just a thought, if you want to continue using Roboform as well as PSE and the two conflict.. you can Add PSE to Roboform's blacklist. That should stop the interaction between the two.
    Steps to do so-
    If PSE is running, close it now.
    In Roboform 7, go to Options / Applications Integration.
    Select Add to the Black List (the list of applications RoboForm will not attach to).
    Browse to the location of the PSE executable <Organizer in your case, possibly Editor too>
    Thanks

  • Black Screen When Trying to Edit Photos

    I have the same problem as many others: When trying to Edit a photo, double clicking it creates a normal enlarged screen but this screen is all black. The problem has been raised by many for some time but no solutions have been identified. Should I be surprised that Apple has not yet addressed or even recognize the problem?

    what does it mean to right con it?
    Sorry - right "click" - fat fingers here
    when i try to view photos on full screen, i now get a black screen with a white exclamation point. i view these pictures earlier this year with no problem. please help!
    That indicates that iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnail and the full photo - if you have not been messing around inside the iPhoto library (you NEVER should do this) then backup and rebuild your library - depress the command and options keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your library form the last automatic database backup - if that does not fix it use the other options - as a last resort use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to rebuild your library

  • Ipod restarts when trying to edit photos

    when i go to edit a photo my ipod restarts itself

    Many users notice this bug -- it happens when trying to edit a screenshot taken on the iPod. It seems to only apply to the iPod touch, as it works on iPhone or iPad. This bug has been reported.
    If that is the case, the user should submit another bug report for it again via this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

  • IPhoto goes black when trying to edit photos - help!

    iPhoto has suddenly decided to go black screen (where the image should be) dark when trying to edit photos.  Permissions are fine (read & edit) so that's not the issue (has been offered on mac forums as a solution to this problem in the past).  I am on a MacBook pro 2.53 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, running OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53).

  • How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    Try this:
    Select a small portion of the clip in the event (Above the timeline)
    Click and hold and drag that section into the timeline, it should snap into place but if you drag it above another clip, it will not replace it but will be placed on top and the sound from the other clip will still play. Also this will allow you to use Blue/Green screen modes as well as picture in picture.
    The best way is to drag it to the far right

    what can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips in Imovie 09 "the operation could not be completed.  *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil"  I use to get these type of error messages when trying to delete unsused clips from a large event 60 minutes or longer, but now I get this message when trying to reduce a 4 minute event.

    Thanks for any help

    Zachy,
    It goes something like this...
    Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
    Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.
