  • Motion sound fade-out problem

    Posted by Alexander Calderon on February 18, 2006 at 5:24 am

    Dear Motion Users,
    I have created a short animation and brought in a sound clip(AIFF) that I keyframed to fade out. It works fine in Motion, but when exported as a Quicktime .mov file the sound doesn’t fade and stops abruptly when the clip ends.
    I am using motion 2, on a G5 with 2.5GB RAM and 800GB raid.
    Any thoughts?
    I have tried bot of my partitions one has Panther the other has Tiger, to no avail

    My suggestion- Motion is a graphics app. Sound is at the bottom of its abilities. Do you sound in FCP or SoundTrack Pro.

    Dear Noah,
    Thank you very much for your input, and truly, I was considering doing just that.
    I was wondering why that was happening and I kept trying over and over.

    Thank you!
    I will use FCP.

    As I understand it, the audio editor is effectively a separate app from the rest of Motion. It has its own play and pause button that operates independently of the canvas playback button so don’t expect its animation to be exported with the video component. As Noah suggested, use FCP or Soundtrack Pro to animate its levels.
