    For mixed frame rates, set the Project timeline to the frame rate you are required to deliver it in.

  • Use periods in places where a colon or semi-colon would go. So 00:04:25:00 could quickly be typed in as 4.25. then hit enter, and FCP will fill in the zeros for you. Very fast.

    Yep, simple as that.

    Well, yes and now. Depends on the 3D model you’re using. USDZ (may I say the least used and hardest to find of all 3D model formats) is the only 3D model format supported by Motion which makes it super limited, and you can’t adjust texture or anything. It is what it is. If you’re using a real 3D model, you can do it. Just animate the camera movement, or animate the movement of the Group that cup is in.

    I’d test this out, but I can’t find a free empty cup model in USDZ format that Motion will accept. Seems there’s several variation on USDZ and Apple went with a confusing format.

    There was a plugin from MotionVFX called mO2 that allowed full 3D model support in a variety of the most popular 3D model formats, but Apple killed it with some updates. They are now working on mO3 that will work with the newer Apple macOS and Apple silicon. I used mO2 all the time, and miss it now. Can’t wait to get my hands on mO3 if it is ever released.

  • Deleting render files can clear that up a lot of times. Maybe delete pref files, too. If those don’t work, create a new Project. In your original select-all, copy, then paste into the new Project timeline. Sometimes that’ll do it, too. What percentage of your system drive is free space?

    Update to 10.7.1 and 14.1.2 and all should be good. After that, look at hardware issues.

    My feeling is they’ve not yet updated for FCPX 10.7.

    You’ll need to check with their tech support to fix their plug-in.

    Finish editing the game. Then duplicate the first clip in the timeline above itself (opt-drag). Change that clips angle to the scoreboard. Drag its tail to the end of your edit. Resize and position as needed. This way you keep everything in sync. Yes, the scoreboard will need to be a resized clip above the multicam edits.
