Where Motion 5 work even if I do not have Final Cut X?

I do not have Final Cut Pro or FCP X. If I buy Motion 5 can I still install and work with it?

It' heavy on memory so that is important, but it works independant and you won't regret it. Not easy in the beginning but don't give up, worth every cent.
Good luck.

Can i use pro res files in iMovie even though i don't have Final Cut Pro?

Hello,
I'm expecting some film footage to be delivered to me thats being delivered in a Pro Res format. Since my request to the company I've realised that it seems that I might not be able to import the Pro Res files into iMovie on my iMac if I don't have Final Cut Pro (FCP) installed. Is this correct? If so, is there a simple way I can import the format without having to go to the expense of buying FCP?
Thanks
Steven

Hey Henmans,
Thanks for the question. Apple ProRes is a format developed for high-quality, high-performance editing in Final Cut Pro X. To gain access to this codec, you’ll want to purchase Final Cut Pro X or a licensed third-party product:

Additionally, you may want to learn about unauthorized codec implementations:
In some instances, unauthorized codec implementations have been used in third-party software and hardware products. Using any unauthorized implementation (such as the FFmpeg and derivative implementations) may lead to decoding errors, performance degradation, incompatibility, and instability. If you're using or considering the purchase of a product that encodes or decodes ProRes but is not on the list below, please contact us at [email protected]

Select all the cells you want formatted that way (or the entire table if that's what you want)

Set the format to "number" with 2 decimal places

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution? I'm using it for a taser sequence.
Thanks!

Open Motion, look for lightningin the generators. From there, it's a question of figuring out how it works and what you need to do to make it work for your sequence. That's about as free as it gets and it will ony be as good--even if someone else did the work for you--as the amount of time you're willing to invest.

Do I need to have final cut pro to use motion?

Do i Have to have final cut to use motion or can i use imovie?

You don't need Final Cut to use Motion but you can't create transitions/effects for iMovie either. You can use Motion to create to composite effects on/with video clips and export the finished work as clips for use in iMovie. So in that respect, you can use iMovie. Motion should make most of the work convenient. You'll need to make sure that the clips you import and the project length are the same (or shorter if you intend to trim the clip in Motion). For transitions, titles, and effects, you can drag clips into the provided "drop zones" for the project type (if you were using FCPX, you would generally leave these "empty" as those drop zones are filled automatically by what exists in the fcpx timeline.)
You'll have to adapt your workflow modestly, but I think you'll find that Motion will be a big help to you. I know people who edit entire (short) videos in Motion. It's an outstanding deal (just expect a bit of a learning curve - but there's a lot of free tutorial material around on the net.) I personally don't recommend that you use Motion to edit video in exclusively, it isn't designed for that (and typically will not play video with a lot of special effects at full speed...) It is a video *compositing* application; more like a "photoshop" for video.

Can I not install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new Mac Mini?

I just purchased a new Mac Mini - it's time to retire my G5 Power Mac.
FCS 2.0 is unverisal - so why can I not loan the software..???

I am having a major problem, I have an old mac purchased 7 years ago and my hard drive got problems but is still working, I got a new mac having OS X system, I have final cut pro 6 and I installed it on the new os X but it didn't work, I also used the conversion method mentioned on the net in order to work on final cut pro x because final cut pro 6 is not supported on OS X, with the conversion the final cut pro X was only able to read the original tapes but was not able to read the edited material, am really stuck and I need help, can someone recommend a helpful solution? when i went to mac technical support office they said that for old macs we can only offer to change the hard drive and RAM and replacing the old hard drive for OS with a new hard drive does not gaurantee that final cut pro 6 will work also, and if something later on doesn't work in the old mac OS we can not fix it or replace it because apple does not provide any other spare parts besides the RAM and hard drive.

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.

I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I have final cut studio 6.0.6. The compressor aps won't load. I get a compressor not loaded properly pop-up. I have loaded twice and still no compressor.

I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I have final cut studio 6.0.6. The compressor aps won't load. I get a compressor not loaded properly pop-up. I have tried reloading but still no compressor.

Start by repairing permissions. Then remove Compressor using this utility:
FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools
Then reinstall and try to load Compressor. If it fails, post the error statements here.
Good luck

Why does final cut x copy events even when the copy files to final cuts events folder is unchecked

When I import iMovie (v 9.04) events into Final Cut Pro X (v 10.0.2) it always copies (duplicates) the events even though the "copy files to Final Cut Events folder" import preference is unchecked. I do not want to duplicate 1 TB of data for no reason. Is this a bug or is the feature badly mislabeled? Can I impot iMovie events without duplicating them?

You shouldn't expect the FCP events folder to be twice the iMovie events folder. While the .dv files (or whatever the media are) are duplicated, the iMovie Movie Cache and iMovie Thumbnails folders are not. Instead, FCP creates a Render Files folder and a CurrentVersion.fcpevent file.
To compare one event, iMovie had a Thumbnails folder of 681.3 MB and a cache folder of 587 KB. In contrast, FCP created a Render Files folder of 45 MB and an CurrentVersion.fcpevent file of 2.1 MB. So, the FCP foder is 634 MB smaller than the iMovie folder for the one event. But don't take my word for it, just compare pairs of events yourself. You will see the media in the Original Media folder and it will be exactly the same as the media in the iMovie folder. Since you have the media, there is no reason to worry about deleting the iMovie folder.
Now I have no way of knowing if this is true, but is it possible that FCP duplicated events until it ran out of disk space? While the FCP events folders are a bit smaller than the iMovie events folders, it may not be enough to have made everything fit. And keep in mind that it takes a while for the Render Files folders to be generated. After I imported 50 events (about an hour of video each), it took a few hours for FCP to finish generating the Render Files folders. I watched the entire Final Cut Events folder grow by several GB while that was going on.
In short, just compare pairs of events to reassure yourself that the media are in both places.

You have to choose – one settigf or another.
The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
Good luck.

Where can I get replacement media or download for final cut 3?

where can I get replacement media or download for final cut 3?

There is no download for any install of Final Cut Pro before version X.
For physical media, try contacting Apple Care support. Otherwise, ebay or alternative resellers is your only recourse for acquiring install discs.
x
edit: If you want Final Cut Pro 3, you'll need a PowerPC computer that can run OS9. If you mean Final Cut Studio 3 (aka FCS 2009) you'll have better luck finding something out there that will run on contemporary machinery.

Downloaded latest Firefox version but cannot open as say another version is already running even if I do not have it open. What is wrong?

Downloaded the latest version of Firefox on my Mac and it won't open as keeps saying that Firefox is already running. This keeps happening even after I log out and re-boot the computer. I don't understand why if I do a download to an existing operation it doesn't piggy-back onto the old one and function. Please help as I have looked at all your Q & A and did not find anything to address download won't work because older version still "running" even when closed. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.3. Thank you.
