  Apple Motion Problems….Is it my computer or Can I just render?

  Posted by Gattoka on April 3, 2007 at 2:53 pm

  Hello,
  I have been in video production for a long time, however i am somewhat new to Apple Motion. I currently am running the latest version of Motion on my Intel Macbook Pro 2.16GHz with 1 GB of Ram, 120 GB hard-drive, ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB SDRAM.

  I don’t seem to be doing anything that would be considered out of the ordinary for motion to do… Yet during playback is is extremely slow and studery.

  So my question is, does the problem lie within my computer, and HOW CAN I JUST RENDER my project to give me a smooth playback. I’d rather wait for my footage to render than watch this “realtime” preview.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi,

  Motion always plays the timeline jumpy at first, but on looping should play smoother.

  There are a variety of ways to do this:

  AppleJ will give you project properties, enter the length you want

  or tap in the length in the bottom right hand corner of the canvas and then drag out that little triangle on the mini timeline.
