Since supoosedly its 25psf and not reAlly 50i, the temporal would be better in the 50p, but at half the data rate per frame. Sounds suspicious. Or a horrible trade off. And then there’s the question of what to do with 50p. If you’re editing 25p, you have to throw away half those frames and the increased shutter rate without the extra temporal info is likely not the look one would be going for. Especially on pans or fast subjects.

Is it possible the 50p is actually 720p? That would make much more sense with the quoted data rates if it were 50i 1080 and 50p 720. Should be roughly the same like they are.

They need a reason to get people out of CS6 land. Most online templates for AE are CS4 or CS5 compatible.

Motion 4 and Mavericks should be fine. I’d check the usual suspects, trash prefs, repair permissions, etc. try a new project and see if it’s just the one project causing the problem.
Why not drop the $50 on Motion 5? Or are you still using FCP 7?

You described my project. 6 people. A days with of interviews. Takes quite awhile to listen to all those interviews and log them. I’m not saying you should do that stuff. Just found it funny that my wife did it as old school as possible and was done editing before I was done logging!

I have it. I play with it but don’t use it much yet. It really is as cool and easy to use as they make it out. And it’s fast! Especially in Motion. Pretty cool you can import .obj 3D models right into it or a client logo as .svg and add texture, bevels, environmental lighting, etc.
It will eat RAM for breakfast.

I understand that. Armed with the basic knowledge of how navigating through a history list works, the answer is to have only 2 things in your history. If that’s what you want. – Navigate all the way back to the first project in the list. (Hold down the left arrow to get the menu and go all the way to the bottom. ) Now open a second project. There. Just like the safari browser (or any browser or finder window for that matter) now you have 2 items in your list.
BUT it’s ridiculous to get caught up on what is in the “previous project” history list. Do you worry about how many web pages are in your web page history list? Of course not. If you need to flip between 2 projects simply open project A and open Project B and then use the back and forward arrows or keyboard shortcuts to flip between them. Don’t worry about all the other projects in the list. They’re of no consequence.
Make sense?
And yes, tabs would be better.

X navigates through projects just like safari navigates through web page history. Left arrow goes backwards in the project history list and right arrow takes you forward in the list (assuming you’ve gone backward at some point of course.)
