motion master templates on FCP 7.01

[Tom Wolsky]

Works for me. Are the templates in the standard location? Is the viewer set to RGB or alpha?

All the best,

Tom

thanks a lot for you help,
but i does not work…
it seems to load the template ‘cos i can work on the controls of template
but it gives me only the white screen.
another think i notice is that when i was working with FCP 6 it was not a problem
and i could even open the .motn files with Quicktime!!
now i can’t?
how do you explane that?
when i try to open motn files it gives me error, i think it’s abug of quicktime X

Did you do a clean erase and install of the OS?

Try opening the templates in the QuickTime 7 player, not the QT X player.

All the best,

New operating systems need a clean erase and installation and full reinstall of the software. You should not update to a new operating system with the pro apps.

All the best,

I’ve seen this problem on a friends Quad Core macpro. 10.5.8, QT 7.6.4, FCP 7.01. Template opens fine in Motion but is always a white screen in FCP. Video is fine, only Motion Templates are a probIem. I suspect its to do with either not enough memory, only has 3GB, or the graphics card, ATI 2600 in this quad core machine. 8 core machines don’t seem to have any issue. Another quad core with 1900XT is also ok, but it also has 11GB of RAM.
