  compressor, Motion and FCP

  Posted by Rob Tobin on May 29, 2008 at 4:10 pm

  I’ve posted this in the motion forum as well.. I didn’t see a seperate compressor forum.

  Maybe someone can help to tell me if there is a “known issue” using compressor as a Batch render for Motion.
  Here’s my work flow. I create clip shells in After effects using animation and embedded alpha channel. Then I use this clip as a background and add titles (50 of them) to the graphic. If I export the clips one by one using Lossless and alpha from motion everything is great. If I import the .motn file into FCP it also works but with 50 of them it causes FCP to crash often. If I export a batch to compressor and export using the animation alpha preset I get “compression artifacts” on the clips. I tried every combination of settings in compressor but the problem is consistent. This workflow worked using FCP5 Motion2 and the older version of compressor… Also I was on a Power PC MAC. Now with FCP Studio2 and an intel Mac this problem has been around… Anyone else have this issue?
  Thanks
  Rob
