Well, yes, there is one directional light pointed at the wall where the TVs are, plus a few spot lights.

OK, so proving into this issue, I have found that if I go to the Group containing the 2 TVs which dim when the camera crosses the X axis… if I go into the Properties of the Group and choose, under Lighting / Sahding, and lave it OFF, I do not get this use… I guess I solved it, although it really baffles me that such a sudden change in…

Motion 5.6

Big Sur 10.6.1

I have a 3D scene made up of a camera, a few lights, and some 2D planes making up a virtual room (gallery) with some 16×9 videos on the walls (as if they were TVs).

<font face=”inherit”>This </font>issue has happened three times, even when I start again and create a new camera.

My camera has keyframes which take it up to one…

Thanks for staying here to help me! The first paragraph makes sense, I’ll use this to research some more what is happening. The last line is also intere4sting, I would have presumed the keyframe needed to be selected.

<font face=”inherit”>One thing which might be interesting to say (and might hint at what is </font>going<font face=”inherit”> on) is…

So yeah, I tried that several times again and no avail. One things which seems to be a hint (which I do not grasp yet) is that these keyframes which do not have handles, when I right click them and try to choose interpolation method, they show 2 methods are being “shared”: – Linear and – Bezier (they have dashes in front of them, see attached…

Thanks, Robin! I’ll read the link you sent me. Although I must say it seems awfully limiting, considering that in AE it’s been a matter of turning on a switch, at least since 2003 when I started using AE. I guess it has to do with how Motion deals with 2D layers in a 3D space. Thanks for the link, will read it ASAP, because I am bound to need…

Thanks, Robin!

I tried that, after reading a comment on someone else’s post about the same issue, but it did not work for me… I’m still baffled here, it seems like such a basic thing that I am starting to think there’s a bug in this version of Motion (or more likely, a bug in the guy behind the mouse, hehe)

Thanks!

Motion 5.6, Big Sur 10.6.1

I am unable to see and thus adjust the keyframe handles (3D layers) on parameter such as Rotation, even though I have selected all keyframes and chosen them to be Bezier type… Any input is much appreciated!

(See attached image)

Thanks, I’ll try that. BTW, I’m a fan of your tutorials!!

I am somewhat new to Motion (5.6 currently).

Project: UHD resolution

Imported video footage: UHD as well

Render resolution: Full

Quality: Normal

I have a 3D composition made up of flat layers positioned in 3D space and lit with some lights. It’s a virtual gallery, so its basically a room with some lights. On the walls I have placed videos, as if they…

I recently purchased the BlackMagic UltraStudio Monitor 3G, so that I may monitor my AV output correctly when using DaVinci and FCPX. I have successfully done this within DaVinci Resolve 16, which has its own hookup to DisplayCal, allowing one to calibrate specifically for the Resolve AV OUT.

Until recently, I have done color correction mostly in…

Thank you again, Jo! Saw your post on fcp.co.

Here’s what I replied there, for other Cow users:

Thank you Joe for the rundown of so much sound advice. I have been using 90% of those procedures you mention, so it’s also good to know I am on the right path. It’s very strange, for me, how it takes SO long to rebuild these waveforms. I have left FCPX…

I am running FCPX 10.4.6 on a MacMini 2019 16gb running Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

My issue is that FCPX is VERY slow to rebuilt waveforms, even though its a large project (maybe that is all this is really?). Clips have audio alright, I hear it upon playback or skimming, but in the browser the audio track appear as dark red, with no Peak data. I took…

I agree. I am back to 10.4.6 and also Mojave, never went up to Catalina due to older ClipWrap footage I still need to use. 10.4.9 is buggy, for sure, to say the least.

Same here. Luckily I had done almost nothing in my long term project since upgradfing to FCP 10.4.9 so I just went back to 10.4.6…

Update: I have deleted all other cameras, and still it seems to be deafulting to some odd camera angle, similar to one of the ones I deleted, even though now the only remaining one is the intended angle… A shame we cannot post videos here, ad also a shame the new format makes it almost impossible to search within a specific forum… am I not…

I am running Motion 5.4.5 in Mojave 10.14.6 on a macmini 2019

My issue is that I have multiple cameras, for different parts of the project (3D), and when I choose a specific one to use when rendering, I get some weird angle that is nothing like any of the cameras. This is only when I share, because when I preview, or just when working, what I see…
