Epilogue:

Zak and I have been communicating privately and he’s come up with a solution so I’m just posting to let you know all know what it is.

The images forming the ‘background’ are stills that are animated in a FCP sequence. I exported that as a DVPAL quicktime movie to go in to Motion as my bottom layer. Zak suggested exporting as an animation quicktime movie instead and it worked. The Motion project and final Motion render remain DVPAL.

Thanks again to Zak.

All the files are RGB. I have contacted you via your website.

Thanks for looking into this for me, Zak.

Hi Zak,

The source images are all jpeg stills that I have animated using keyframes. The Motion project is DV PAL anamorphic. I export the final movie using DV PAL anamorphic quicktime.

Thanks Edward, that worked nicely.

Hi Ed,

That works great. Thanks, Ed. I think in my earlier attempts I may have got confused between ROTATE AROUND COMMON CENTRE and ROTATE AROUND LOCAL CENTRE.

When I animate my new ‘combined object’ successfully, only one component part of the new object is highlighted in red even though all the combined parts are moving as one. Is this correct?

I am unable to scale my new ‘combined object’ as one. I select the ‘combined’ pose in the timeline, then the scale button in the 3D Preview window, then I drag diagonally over my new combined object but only one component part will scale on it’s own…not the entire new object in unison. I notice in the OBJECTS tab that the 6 component primitives that make up my new combined object are still listed separately under their original names. Can you help me with scaling?

Thanks again,

Duncan.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jon. Unfortunately, I still can’t get it to work. I’m sure you know what you are doing…..I’m just not getting it at this end. I have been using Select>all so the object outline and the two outlines of the holes within are visible in blue. Then object>compound path>make which cuts through the black object to the background to make the holes appear. However, when I get the image in to Zaxwerks the holes are still not there.

Any ideas?
