Working with "Replace Here" background

hello - I just got Motion2, but I am already needing it to finish a video project. I haven't had time to locate the answer to my issue on the manual, so I ask anyone on this board to help. I am trying to use a motion2 template for a FCP video project. How do I replace the "Replace Here" background so that when i import the file into my FCP timeline I am able to use it as an alpha key and overlay onto video. When I try to bring the motion file into FCP, I portion of the graphic that is supposed to key through to video is not keying.
I hope I am explaining this correctly. Anyone?

One: use the replace media button for the "Replace" placeholder graphic. Two: Import your .motn project file into FCP and overlay your clip with it.

  • Do user-created recovery disks work with replacement HDD of different capacity?

    The original Seagate 250GB SATA HDD in my Pavilion G60-214EM notebook has completely failed (BIOS and other Windows machines cannot even see it). I replaced it with a Samsung 160GB SATA HDD but Recovery Manager on my user-created (DVD-R) recovery disk consistently fails at 2% of "Reformatting  the Windows partition of your hard disk drive". If I look at the resulting partitions from another machine I see a 10.61 GB NTFS 'RECOVERY' partition, an empty active primary NTFS partition of 37.12 GB and 101.31 GB still unallocated.
    Should the user-created recovery disks work if the replacement disk drive is smaller capacity than the original?
    Should they work with a larger capacity replacement drive?
    If not, can HP provide recovery disks that will work with a different capacity HDD?
    Thanks,
    --A

    Hi, I am the same predicament as you are From my experience thus far, the replacement disk drive space needs to be bigger or equal to the original HD space. (e.g.. I had a 640 gb OEM HD, I cannot install or factory reset the new 500 gb WD HD because it says its too small...)
    As for question 2, I am going to try to get a 1TB hard drive, though I don't know due to the prices and such. Will post back if I do.
    Question 3: I do not know, someone else may be more knowledgeable:/ 
    Hope this helps!

  • Sudden motion sensor not working with replacement harddisk?

    I replaced the original harddisk of my Macbook pro (500 GB, 7.200 rpm, model no. HTS725050A9A362) with the retail version of the same harddisk (model no. HTS725050A9A364).
    Now I'm missing the typical "click" when the sudden motion sensor parks the heads and I'm afraid it's not working - although "pmset -g" shows "sms 1".
    Is there anything else I can check, e.g. enable head parking at harddisk-firmware level?
    Thanks
    Juls

    For future reference, here are a couple of kb articles on the sudden motion sensor:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1935
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1934
    As has been said, Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor is not actually built into the hard drive. In fact, some hard drives with their own version of a sudden motion sensor like Seagate's G-Force Protection actually will set up a conflict with Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor.
    I installed the same WD in my Mac as you did, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been enjoying mine.

  • Macbook Pro not working with replacement logic board

    Hello everyone! About two months ago, someone spilled tea over my macbook pro. Upon taking it to the Apple store the representative told me that it would cost me over $1,000 to repair it and that I would be better off getting a new one (I know most of you have heard that many times). I inspected the Macbook and I realized that when I tried turning it on the keyboard would not light up and, but the sleep light was on. Furthermore, I heard the hard drive and the fans spinning. The tea only spilled on the right side of the Macbook so I figured that would help me narrow down the issue. The apple representative told me that I needed to replace the logic board so I went and bought a replacement one that was the same model. Before I screwed all the pieces back in, I wanted to try it out and see if it would turn on. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. It seems that the logic board is not the problem, but I am not sure what it might be. I'm pretty sure the CD/DVD drive is damaged, but I don't see why that would prevent the Macbook from turning on. I did a little research and I notice that most people test the graphics card to see if it is working, but I don't know how to do that. I have an older Macbook Pro, the motherboard is model 820-1993-A and I believe the model of the Macbook is A1150. Please help, this macbook was a gift and I don't want to throw it out!

    Well I would like to find out what the piece is that is causing me the problem so that I could replace it! I already replaced the most expensive piece and the hard drive seems to be working fine so it doesn't leave many things. I just would like to know how I would be able to check to see if the video card is damaged.

  • Working with airplay and background

    Hello,
    I am using Iphone 5 IOS 8.1.3 and apple TV latest version.
    I have a very weird behaviour when i am using airplay.
    Sometime i can use airplay from youtube or even safari and in the same time using another app and sometime i can't.
    While i am switching to another app, video stops playing. I cannot figure what can cause it and why once to work and once not.

    No, i am not using a mirror. Mirror is displaying what's on the screen and i am streaming.
    So i can't figure out why, once i can put the streaming content such as youtube or video on safari to the background and once i can't

  • Working with Characters and Backgrounds in Captivate 6

    Hello,
    I'm trying to insert art from E-Learning Art as a background for the characters in Captivate 6, and I'm having two problems:  
    1) I added one picture (.jpg photograph) and it shows up on every slide.   It is not in the master slides, and I do not want it on every slide.  How do I remove the picture from the slides where I want to put another background? 
    2) When I preview my slides, the characters have an obvious white line around them and in some cases a glow.  Any suggestions for correcting this? 
    Thanks in advance for your help! 

    Hi,
    Please check :
    1) Select the Charatcer on your slide-- Properties -- Timing, make sure the timing is not show for rest of the project, that way it will show up through out.
    2) Please check the properties have you applied a shadow or reflection, that could cause a possible glow to the character
    Thanks,

  • Why EL doesn't work with custom tags ?!

    I don't know why expression lang. doesn't work with me.
    here's an example, and please tell me why :
    --- the jsp page with EL ==> doesn't work :
    <%-- In the name of ALLAH most gacious most merciful --%>
    <%@ page language="java" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="/cartlib" prefix="cart" %>

    <cart:showCatalog productCatalog="${product}" addToShoppingCartUri="<%= response.encodeURL("AddToShoppingCart.jsp") %>" />
    </html>
    when using expressions instead, the page works .
    the new page is :
    <%-- In the name of ALLAH most gacious most merciful --%>
    <%@ page language="java" %>

    Other potential things to check: make sure you are getting the right value passed in
    productCatalog="${applicationScope.product}"
    ${product} by preference would take a pageContext, request or session attribute before the application level one (it uses pageContext.findAttribute).
    What do you get if you just print out ${product} on the screen?
    It should call a toString() on it for rendering purposes.

  • Working with Background images

    HI. I have a project which contains a few slides with the same background image...an image that was caught with Snagit and then merged onto the slide. I anticipate needing to replace this image with an updated one in the near future. Is there a quick and easy way of replacing that image (which contains a number of captions, highlight boxes, etc) without having to recreate the entire slide from scratch?

    Hello again,
    Please save the image (p.e. as a PNG) on your PC, do not copy it to the Clipboard. The workaround I described would work, but here is even a shorter way:
    Open the Slide Properties (righ mouse click menu)
    Use the button 'Change background image' and point to the image saved.
    The background image will be replaced, you will see both of them in the Library in this case
    But there will be no problem to delete the old image (right mouse click on the image in the Library)
    Try it,

  • ThinkPad X60 Replacement Hard Drive - Will free fall sensor work with Active Protection System?

    I plan to replace the OEM hard drive on my ThinkPad X60 with a Western Digital Scorpio Black drive. I found a board posting on Scott Mueller's Upgrading and Repairing Forum site that seems to indicate that APS will work with this drive. Here is my question: Is there any point in purchasing the drive with the free fall sensor option? (This is more expensive than the drive without the sensor.)  Will this provide any additional protection above and beyond the Active Protection System. Will the internal free fall sensor in the drive be compatible with APS?  In other words, should I buy a Scorpio Black with or without the free fall sensor?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum!
    If I were buying a replacement drive, I'd get one without a sensor, but that's me.
    Having seen way too many laptops that have gone through a real "free fall" I'll say that a damaged hard drive in such an event is usually the least of one's problems...
    Good luck.

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • I need to replace firefox 4.0.1 with firefox 3.6 because my add ins don't work with 4.0

    Question
    i need to replace firefox 4.0.1 with firefox 3.6 because my add ins don't work with 4.0 but will work with 3.6. How do I accomplish this?

    Any particular add-on? Maybe there's an updated version or substitute?
    If you can't find a solution with Firefox 4, here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • Green screen doesn't work with Apple's own animated backgrounds

    Aloha--
    I am putting together some greenscreen videos for a class, and I cannot get any of the Apple animated backgrounds to work.  I've tried several of the spinning globe options, but when I drag my video onto them, I do see the "+" symbol, but the options are always to replace the clip, never to apply the greescreen.  If I use one of the Apple plain still clips, or a video I record myself, I do see the "greenscreen" option and I can make them work with my greenscreen videos, but I'd really like to get one of the spinning globes to work, especially as the Apple help indicates that they were designed for greenscreens.  How can I make this work?  Thanks.

    Susan Jaworowski wrote:
    … How can I make this work? 
    The problem with the Spinning Globe is: this is no 'video'
    Create a New Project
    Add just the globe you like
    Export this 'Project'
    re-import resulting video into your Events
    you notice the difference in my attached example?
    globe#1 was ex- and imported = Dino applied via green-screen
    globe #2, 'interactive' generated graphics = no green-screen optional
