Motion slow to render simple effect
Hi There,
I just installed FCPS 2 and Motion seems to be taking too long a time to render what I would consider to be a simple effect. Basically, I have text on one side of the screen with an image on the other. they are both angled in at about 30 degrees with a slow growing behavior. The renders start off ok, doing about a frame per second. Then after a while they get bogged down to the point where it takes about 30 seconds to render a frame, despite it being no different than the first few frames. this happens regardless of whether i render in FCP or motion, or on my MacBook Pro or my G5 (Macbook Pro is running Leopard, the G5 is running the previous OS – can’t remember which jungle cat it is). Each have the required 1GB of RAM (Do I need more?).
I’m rendering the sequence using the DV codec. After a couple of experiments I have figured out that it is the text that is causing the slowdown. There are no effects on the text other than a fade and grow beavhior.
Does anyone out there have any idea what is going on?
Thanks in advance
Chris

By 30 degrees do you mean you have these layers in 3d?
