    Hello,

    01. I need to export one of the Motion’s snow particle emitters to Quicktime.

    02. If possible, I want a photo in the background.

    Can someone please drop me a link or help me out?

    I’m a Motion noob, (coming from the audio world)

    thanks!

    To import an photo and place it in the background do: Go to the File Browser and find the photo. Click on the Import button,

    To export the clip: Go up to File, Export. Set Export to “QuickTime Movie”. Click on the OPtions button and set the codac (Compressor) that you like. I prefer to export it out as an Animation clip. And then compress in compressor.

    Hope this is the answer you are looking for. Best of luck.

    thank you so much for the quick reply! is there any way to loop the particles effect so that the particles do not jump when starting the loop over???

    I put together a really quick example of a video looping 4 times.

    In a nutshell I created a particle and then keyframed it’s life so it would go off the screen. I then layered the particle so it would appear as if it is looping if you cut part of it out. I think it is easier for me to give you the project file and let you take a look. Please take a look at the attached project file. 418_particleloop.motn.zip At 3:04 and around 9:17 the particles are the same. I just looped that 4 times in FCP and this is the results. Hope this helps.
