Nice work using the sequence replicator this!
If you want another ripple to come out from the centre before the current one finishes, simply duplicate the sequence replicator and trim the behavior to start before the first one finishes.
Keeping duplicating the behavior up as many times as you need. So you end up with what looks like a staircase in the timeline made up of your sequence replicators.
Just remember if you trim the sequence replicator shorter, if there are a number of loops set in the sequence controls it will get through them faster.
So set each replicator to one loop perhaps and overlap the sequence replicators as needed.

Hi Nicholas,
Unfortunately motions retiming behaviours cannot be published to FCP X as a “Effect”. If they could it would be simply a drag and drop to apply the effect.
This is why I have published it as a generator, using a bit of a cheat in motion I was able to publish the strobe effect across.
I admit this is hardly ideal at all. I have been playing with trying to get motion publish it as an EFFECT, I have been able to save the preset but it crashes FCP X everytime you apply the effect.
According to Apple’s motion manual it is not supposed to be able to publish retiming behaviours across to FCP X, well at least they are half wrong 😉

Another way to approach this in Motion, is to use the “Set Speed” Behaviour, found in the re-timing section of behaviours.
Add the behaviour to your clip, then from the behaviour inspector panel / or HUD you can animate the speed in percentage terms.
There is even nice controls to animate the ease in / ease out time.

Hi Nicholas,
This effect is a “Generator” effect.
Drag the generator effect to the timeline. Select the generator clip in the timeline, then in the inspector you will see a dropzone that enables you to choose a clip. Adjust settings to taste.

Just tried them and got the same result as you did leo.
Temperature and tint nothing, and Tone curve all white.
Though reading the description for temperature and tint it says…
“Adapt the white reference point for an image”
Perhaps this works in conjunction with other image units, unsure really.
Though the fact that not everyone has them suggest it’s not designed to work with Motion.
Someone will have an answer I’m sure.

Haven’t had a chance to check these yet, as on Motion 4 at work…But I also have FXfactory installed like yourself….but that’s weird as like the email you received from them already ruled them out as being part of their package.
Do you have FXfactory installed Robbert?

Glad it was of use to you 🙂
As you are probably aware, drop zones in generators seem to be a bit problematic at times.
I have noticed quite often when you select the dropzone, and the box comes up prompting you to choose a source…it can freeze quite often.
All together now … “Bring back ‘send to motion’ please”

I’m running Motion 5 / Lion and I have these Image units installed on my machine at home.
At work running Motion 4 / Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and those image units aren’t in there.
They have to be Lion core image units I’m thinking.

This filter preset from a few days ago does the same as what the blink filter in FCP 7 does.

Stack up 2 layers of video, apply preset to top layer, and adjust rate to suit.

Not like the blink filter this one.
You tell it how many frames to hold the motion.
Some call it a frame update.
Set it 5, it holds frame 1 for 5frames, then it holds frame 6 for 5 frames, then frame 11 for 5 frames….etc
