Ok layer based. I meant in lieu of node based. I just meant because something wasn’t node based didn’t mean it was obsolete or legacy. And that layer based is perfectly legitimate and used by AE which is a pretty decent app.

I think I saw that once and I remember thinking… “well that makes absolutely not the slightest bit of sense whatsoever.” Because it doesn’t.

Sounds like the same functionality that would bring color correction to Motion. Would be nice to have those tools in Motion. But I think more and more Apple is moving toward Motion and nothing but a plugin creation tool. There has been talk over on FB forums about Motion only being 8bit possibly. I hadn’t even thought of that. But it might make sense that they’re not worried about supporting codecs or color depth or color tools since they’re not expecting much video use in Motion anymore. They’re expecting you to use drop zones or video integration only through publishing and rendering through FCPX where those things are supported. Dropping video out was the first big sign to me.

Why does that make it legacy? FCPX is still track based. AE is track based. If you’re expecting there to be i sort of magnetic timeline rippling, that just doesn’t apply to Motion (or AE). A bit OT, but in many ways, the “tracklessness” of FCPX is akin to the way Motion and AE work. In those apps you drag layers up and down vertically and other layers just move out of the way. That’s exactly how FCPX works. So instead of having dedicated tracks, you end up with little piles as you go along the timeline. Each pile is akin to it’s own little motion (or AE) composition where you can drag the layers up and down and the others just get out of the way. Just seems so logical if you’ve ever worked in AE, PS, or Motion.

I guess I thought it worked the other way. New features are created in Motion, and then supported by the included motion “engine” in FCPX. Many new features of Motion that aren’t “in” FCPX like Fill and Overshoot but they can be published. Other newish features like Align to behaviors are only in Motion but utilized by plugins. I’d guess it’s a very small team or may simply be the same team.

Pond 5 has volume control. It’s right there with the playback bar when you’re looking at the individual item. Same with sites like audiojungle. But if you’re just on the quick preview results page usually no volume control.

If you’re using the A tool, then you’re pressing the wrong delete key.

Isn’t that a Thunderbolt Display? In other words you can loop thunderbolt through it. So you would need to connect it with a thunderbolt cable, not a mdp cable. i have a TB2 LG display connected to a MBPro. I just use a TB3 to TB2 single off the MBPro, or off the OWC TB3 dock.

Ok, so just the project means just that timeline and the media used. To do that, you want to choose file>create new library from project. (Or something like that). Choose to place it on the drive you want. Open it and select the library and go to the inspector and consolidate the media.
