Re: FCP X constand jerky beach ball of death. Hard to edit - 12 years agoEvent Manager didn't seem to make a difference for me. I off lined several projects and events, but the memory usage started out a 800 megs. then shot up to 3.7 GIGS. Only working one project. I was adding some effects and maybe that could be part of the problem. Best suggestion is to quit and reopen FCP X periodically. I have 4 more gigs of ram and exact system I get the beach ball a lot tooby Scott_r - Café LA - X Re: Reconnect media in FCP X...anyone? - 12 years agoJude Cotter Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > There is a 'proper' way to move events listed here > > > > 277a3 > > Not sure how to fix it once it's unfixed, but I > guess this is the way to do it in the future. > > Or, could you move everything back to where it > was, then move the Event the way X wants you to, >by Scott_r - Café LA - X Re: FCP X and Motion 5 now in App Store - 12 years agoThanks for the heads up. I have it right now and am trying to find my way around. So far I see a limitation on where you tell FCP 10 to save files. The preferences dialog box is super spartan - it's got a few more options then Quicktime 7! FCP 10 has the same work flow as iMovie. The way my drives are laid out I need to get things saving on different disks and I see nothing to configure this, notby Scott_r - Café LA - X Re: Strange Chroma Key Issue - 13 years agoHi J, Will have to give that a try. I have played with clips in Motion and found it a bit tedious. I have Motion 3, so 4 might have some better ways of handling video(?). I just ran test with myself against a proper color green screen and now it properly keying out the green. So maybe it's an issue with the file.

But tried and experiment where I put my talent up against a wall that was green but not green enough. I had some holes pop in my subject. I cleverly (I think anyway) was to layered the same clip (but cropped) over the problem areas worked great. Next I rendered out the clip with a correct green screen back ground.

I have created the settings in the motion tab for one clip and want to copy and paste these setting to the other clips, just like we can do with color settings, etc. I've tried to copy these settings but can't get it work.

Screen is not totally square, so placed a clip over the top of it and distorted it slightly to get it to fit (all done in FCP). But the bottom of the clips has some stair step jaggies. Is there a way to soften the edges of the clip that's on top of another clip but not not totally covering the other clip (in my case with some sby Scott_r - Café LA Vector Graphics in Motion? - 13 years agoHi All, Is it possible to ad any kind of vector graphics to a motion project?

So did some experimenting trying to create swf files by using sorenson squeeze 6.0. The resulting file would not play properly. Tried some other utilities to create the swf and they would play, but they animation/video looked awful would only play though once and stop.

I've imported some AVCHD files in iMovie and then saved as MPEG4 and brought into FCP. When these clips render in the canvas, they color starts to shift (the wall behind me goes from off-white to a light shade of green). Not sure why? The original clips looks fine all the way thby Scott_r - Café LA Re: Looping problem - First section plays and repeats (fixed!) - 18 years agoOops, I found that I had set the first marker (Chapter 1) to jump back to the beginning. Once I changed "End Jump" to "not set", no more looping. I was checking the other markers, and had no idea that the culprit was at the very beginning!

Started to test it all it working fine except if I start it at the beginning it plays to the first marker/Chapter and then starts all over again! Plays correctly after I skip past this point. I nothing set on the buttons or markers that tell it to do anything like this. Anyone know what might be causing this strange behavior?
