Image Units not working on Motion 5 ???

Posted by Leo Hans on July 25, 2011 at 12:52 am

I tried “Temperature and Tint” but nothing happens changing the parameters.
“Tone Curve” turns the image white and then nothing change with the parameters.

Any Idea? Maybe a bug?

Where do you see those image units? I checked in Generators and in Filters and I don’t see either one.

I do not have those filters installed – they must have been some sort of custom install. Does anyone else have them?

Could it be from FxFactory? I uninstalled it. Maybe was part of it and that’s the reason why doesn’t work?
mmm :S

Could be but those two filters don’t appear to be part of a standard install.

Mark, are you using Lion? I found this in the M5 user manual:

Image Units (Generators)
The Image Units category appears in the Motion Library if you are running Mac OS X v10.5 or later. Motion supports the operating system’s Core Image Units (generators).

Maybe they are core image plugins. And bugy ones.

I am not using Lion. The ones I have are the Core Image Units from the OS (there are Image Unit Filters and Generators) – I really think you got yours elsewhere somehow, I don’t believe they are part of the standard install. Are you on Lion??

Yes. I am using Lion since I don’t use my own computer for work.

And that was a missunderstanding (perhaps becouse here, in Argentina, it’s 0:15hs). I saw Mac OS X v10.5 and I thout “Lion” (Lion is 10.7).

I can not find how to remove that. I used FxFactory uninstaller, and was the only add on I installed.

Thanks for answering.

Well, now I am lost:

I sent an email to NoiseIndustries and they replied:

Those effects are not part of FxFactory. Image Units are not video effect plug-ins in the traditional sense. They are a more “primitive” graphics plug-in, and Mac OS X ships with hundreds of those out of the box.

I have got them on my machine too. And on my 2006 macbook pro as well (running motion 4).

Kind regards,
