  Imported objects appear transparent ?!?

  Posted by Andrew Pasternak on February 27, 2009 at 6:27 pm

  I have created an .avi file from a powerpoint project, and imported that into motion. There are two moving objects within the file, and when I throw it into my project all of the other assets within the file appear to be fine. Only I can’t see the two moving objects, instead they appear transparent. I have tried everything I can think of (hardware acceleration off during recording, color background, lighting off, and even converted into a flat .mov file) and still the same problem…

  Any ideas?

  Avi and Powerpoint are both not exactly 100% compatible with Motion. I’d open the AVI in QuickTime Player and re-export to QuickTime.mov ProREs or Animation instead.
