Post here to discuss "Motion," Apple's new Graphic Design Application.
Re: Something for the daring minds ... - 11 years ago
If you have some media in the original media folder inside the library bundle and you don't want it there, all you need to do is to use the Consolidate command to move it wherever you want - and the media will be automatically replaced with sym links so there will be no need to relink anything. As to FCP X forcing you to copy media, that should generally only happen if you are importing from aby markspencer - Café LA - X
Re: Motion 4 audio issue - 12 years ago
Steve, you need to make sure the phone is held horizontally when you start recording, otherwise you'll get a vertical video, which I'm vehemently opposed to:by markspencer - Motion
Re: Motion 4 audio issue - 12 years ago
Very strange, never seen that before. Also, the stabilizer in Motion is exactly the same as the one in FCP so you shouldn't expect different results...by markspencer - Motion
Re: So Motion 5 then - 14 years ago
Here are some other options that I've madeby markspencer - Motion
Re: Newbie Motion 4 - 14 years ago
Put your background in a 2D group at the root level. 2D groups at the root are not affected by cameras (or lights).by markspencer - Motion
Re: codec quality in Motion 3 clip - 14 years ago
You choose the quality level in Motion (if exporting directly from Motion) in your export settings; or if you embedding your Motion project n FCP, you choose sequence settings, go to the render control tab, and set the quality level there.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Vector Graphics in Motion? - 14 years ago
Absolutely, you can import .ai or .pdf vector files. The key to scaling them infinitely is to turn of "fixed resolution" by selecting the file in the Media tab of the Inspector after importing it, then in the Media tab of the Inspector, uncheck the Fixed Resolution checkbox.by markspencer - Motion
Re: interlacing issue - 14 years ago
Although FCP may incorrectly interpret the field order, I have never seen it "place a Shift Fields filter" onto it. That would surprise me if it were the case. Are you sure about this?by markspencer - Motion
Re: Question RE: How to create a hold out matte in Motion - 14 years ago
Best thing would be to look up Match Moving in the Motion help - it describes how to do this.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Photoshop element problem - 14 years ago
If you left it as a .psd, you need to make sure the color mode is RGB, not CMYK. Or, if you only need one layer with transparency, save it as a .png with alpha.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Lost grey scale - 14 years ago
1) Quit Motion. 2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences. 3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Mark can you tell me how to do those Kenn Burn affects on pictures - 14 years ago
If you are working in 3D, instead of using a drop shadow, try adding a "floor" and a light so that you are casting "real" shadows instead of using the drop shadow.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Is Motion 4 now 64 bit? - 14 years ago
Motion is able to access a lot of RAM, more than the 4GB limit, from my understanding.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Motion anamorphic settings - 14 years ago
You are welcome. Even if you "stay in the circle" sometimes FCP misses that flag....by markspencer - Motion
Re: Motion anamorphic settings - 14 years ago
Sometimes FCP misses the anamorphic flag on Motion projects. Just select the Motion project in FCP's browser (or timeline), press command-9 to bring up item properties, and add a checkmark in the anamorphic column.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Resizing HD Motion Template to SD - 14 years ago
Shelley, I would "open copy in Editor" from FCP and try the different Fit options for the dropzone in the Inspector.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Resizing HD Motion Template to SD - 14 years ago
Just drop it in. FCP will resize it to fit. Of course, it will be letterboxed since the aspect ratios don't match.by markspencer - Motion
Re: 4K in Apple Motion ? - 14 years ago
It's not Motion that is the limitation, it is your graphics card. Depending on the card, you can go up to 2K, 4K, or 8K.by markspencer - Motion
Re: 4K in Motion/Graphics Card/Export Settings - 14 years ago
Seems like you are mixing up codecs (e.g., ProRes) and resolution (e.g., 1920x1080). I can't tell what you are trying to achieve.by markspencer - Motion
Re: 4K in Motion/Graphics Card/Export Settings - 14 years ago
It's your graphics card. The texture limit on the 4870 is 8K so you should be ok. I'd export at 1920x1080 using ProRes HQ.by markspencer - Motion

I'll toot my own horn:by markspencer - Motion
Re: From 720 to 1080 Text commercial - 14 years ago
Make a new 1920x1080 project and copy your groups into it by copy-paste or dragging.by markspencer - Motion
Re: Layers window: Check mark greyed out... - 14 years ago
Option-clicking the Activation checkbox of a layer will solo the layer - turning off all other layers. Option clicking it again will bring the others back on. If you can't tell which layers have been solo'ed, select them all, go under the View menu, and select Active - there is probably a dash next to it, indicating some layers are active, some are not.by markspencer - Motion
Re: OT: font question - 14 years ago
You need to make sure you limit the highlight to just the letters you want to affect.by markspencer - Motion
Re: OT: font question - 14 years ago
In Motion 4, use the Adjust Glyph tool to select and modify individual fonts (or words). In Motion 3, just highlight the font (or word) you want to modify.by markspencer - Motion
