FCP6 with Motion 3 Not Upto Snuff

[Nate Weaver]

[lasvideo] “…which is why I am spending a year working with it before we decide whether it will be able to fulfill our clients expectations”

You know, in my neck of the woods, clients look at it this way:

Avid: The gold standard. The way it should be done when budgets are easy, and everybody gets to work the way they want to. Hang out in the edit, make ridiculous executive creative suggestions, get to see everything happen while they wait. Old school. Sign offs happen in the edit suite, online happens right away, has to air tomorrow.

FCP: The reality of lower budget work, and what happens when director/editor works from home. Cheaper. Web approvals. Headaches for the online because everybody knows how to edit, but nobody knows how to prep projects from the beginning correctly. Clients don’t expect much, but the job does indeed get done, eventually correctly. No client sits in the edit suite bitching about rates or how long this is taking because they know better!

[rene hazekamp] “final cut 4 didn’t have subpixel rendering, newer versions have it”

hello rene
thanks for the response.
are you sure about that?

i have not seen any documentation saying fcp5 or 6 use sub pixel rendering and someone i know who alsu uses PP says this is the only reason he is not working with fcp.

if you know of any place i can read that coming from apple, i would love to see it.

thanks,
mark.

Excellant thought, but I checked both the Motion 3 file and the FCP6 file where the Motion 3 file is embedded and motion blur was not activated in either. I sure wish it had been the culprit!
