  • Imported Motion file – puzzling flash

    Posted by Peter Wolsey on April 29, 2007 at 8:14 pm

    Constructed a simple animated name strap in Motion and imported it into FCP. When rendered on the timeline there is a single frame flash a second or so in. Damned if I can find the reason for it.
    Project is in 8bit uncompressed PAL. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I’ve had this problem myself with odd frames (and fields) that appear when imported into FCP. It had to do with an effect (in my case, shadow) applied to a layer with several tracks inside or an effect applied to a single track within a layer. I can’t remember which. I discovered that I could export to a Quicktime Movie as a work around. It’s not as elegant as importing the Motion project files.

    I’ve had a few puzzling experiences round-tripping/importing motion files in the timeline..
