Exporting
Hello-
I am trying to export my project from Motion 7. I am working on a 2×2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8 GB RAM., The project is about 45 sec. I am finished with it and am trying to export a high res quicktime. I’ve tried multiple times to export and everytime Motion crashes. I have tried exporting it in 5 sec intervals and it still crashes. Any advice?

This is obviously not normal. Take a look at this article: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1885
What happens when you export at Normal instead of best? Have you brought the project file straight into FCP and rendered it in FCP?

Would I still get high res quality with rendering it at normal? No I haven’t tried bring it into FCP although that was my next guess.
I set it to render again- 8 hours and 32 mins at Best. Does that seem normal?
-
I have found that in most cases I don’t need best. Best helps when you have text that is not as sharp as it should be. In motion toggle between best and normal and see what you think.
As for how long it takes, that depends on the complexity of your project and your computer. I’ve exported out 7 second segments overnight that took probably an hour or so because they had a lot of stuff in them.
Hope this helps and best of luck.

By the way Noah, the Cubs win the World Series in 2015. I learned that from Back to the Future 2. 🙂

Are you having the problems with Motion or FCP. If you have a problem with Motion rendering, then try the usual deleting the preferences, I also find that sometimes copying all of your groups and assets from the troubled file and then pasting it to a new motion document helps.

Motion. thank you, I will try that. what is the path to the preferences again?
Also- I tried putting the motion project into FCP. I rendered it and it doesn’t seem smooth. It’s jumpy.

Delete user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Motion back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files. To reset your Motion user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
Drag the “com.apple.motion.plist” file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.Stephen Smith
