I agree Chris, I too am not prepared to invest in funding Apple’e developments.

I keep wondering if there is any relationship between this Bug being tied to the fact that there is no copy of Motion 5 loaded (Separate purchase) In my opinion there shouldn’t be because this Trial version ought to run as a stand alone product and I would hope it is exactly the same as the full paid up version but with a time period.

If there are any of you guys out there with the FUL PAID UP version of FCPX and are having this same problem could you post please.

Also could you say if you have Motion 5 installed too.

Thanks Mark, it seems it is your book I have been working through, excellent I must say.

I got confused by the inset paragraph on page 156 where it refers to importing into DVDP and using it as a menu, I was under the belief that I could just go ahead and use this direct in DVDSP as a normal Template..

Also I was saving as a Template in Motion and then trying to import through the Template TAB in DVDP where I could see the files but they were Greyed out.

Next mistake was to then import the Template file as an asset but when I tried to “Open in Editor” it would just play as a QT movie.

I have now saved the Motion file as normal and imported as asset into DVDSP, applied as menu background and can now ctrl click and open in Editor which then opens in Motion. It imports as a .motn(video)

Do you concur this is the correct workflow Mark

Once again thanks for your assistance.

Hi Peter, could you elaborate just a little more upon the steps you suggest I need to take please.

Do you mean take an effect from the Browser into the timeline then save the effect ? But how do I re-save into the Browser. Sorry to be a nuisance.

Why do I get a message “Exception: PMM_INSUFFICIENT_MEDIA”?
Why do I get a message “Exception: PMM_INSUFFICIENT_MEDIA”?

There can be several reasons for that message:

The message appears when trying to playback a sequence:
The sequence contains a bad edit, effect or master clip.
Using the normal open end play function will trigger the error when playing back any part of the sequence because Avid is looking at the entire sequence.
To find the problem area, mark a short In/Out point at the beginning of the sequence and use the Play In/Out function instead (may need to be mapped from Tools/Command Palette/Play)

Using this function, if the marked section doesn’t include the problem, it will playback normally.
If it does, the error will be triggered. After determining the point in the sequence that is triggering the error, rerender the effect or match frame the clip.
If unable to rerender, the effect will need to be removed and redone from scratch.
If it is a clip, match frame the clip.
If it plays back without error, lift the clip and redo the edit from the clip.
If the master clip does not playback in the source monitor, unlink the master clip and redigitize or reimport the clip.

You might get this message when opening footage digitized in a film project in a video project.

XDCAM files import, but produce an error on playback.
XDCAM footage shot using a variable framerate will not play properly within the editing application. When XDCAM footage is shot at a variable framerate (overcranked or undercranked), the camera places flags on the footage to let the editing application know how to play back the footage. The application reads those flags on capture. Since XDCAM is file based and the footage is imported, the editor can’t read the flags and therefore doesn’t understand how to play back the footage properly. Thus XDCAM footage shot at a variable framerate (i.e. half speed, two-times speed, etc.) is currently not supported.

To see if your XDCAM footage was shot using a variable framerate, try using Sony’s XDCAM Viewer, the Sony PDZ-VX10. You can download it from Sony here: https://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/markets/10014/xdcam_license2.shtml
