Motion Bug in FCP
Hello,
I am experiencing a bug that when I bring in a .motn file in to my Uncompressed 8bit timeline, some of the graphics don’t show up. When I open it in Motion, it is fine, but when I look at it in FCP, those layers aren’t there, usually it’s just the background.
I’ve tried, re-saving, reconnecting and a few other things. Sometimes when I close FCP and re-open, the files will update fine, but not all the time.
The problem is system wide and not just project or file specific.Any Ideas are welcome
FCP 6.0.5
OSX 10.5.6
3ghz quad
Kona LHe 6.0.1
6TB HDOneHave a good one,

Are you roundtripping the motn project? Are your Motion/FCP project settings the same (resolution/frame rate)? Are you using cohesive versions FCP 6, Motion 3? Done all your Pro App updates?
Try creating a slug in FCP, same time duration as your current motn clip, send to motn project, copy your layers from the original motn project into the new “roundtripped” project, save, and see if that works…
If it still gives you issues, consider exporting Animation + Lossless from Motion and import into FCP.

Yes, but sometimes I bring in 720/30p and scale it to the SD project.
It happens with stills as well though.Are you using cohesive versions FCP 6, Motion 3? Done all your Pro App updates?

I’d just re-boot to try and get it back before I’d do this, it really doesn’t solve anything.If it still gives you issues, consider exporting Animation + Lossless from Motion and import into FCP
But, this defeats the purpose and doesn’t help fix the problem.Have a good one,
