At this time, I know of no solution that can do this in Motion. But, there is already MIDI communication going on in the app with parameter behaviors and the new FxPlug let’s see what happen 🙂

The animation codec is standard and should be available to you in the export options in Motion

If you’re going to Final Cut or Compressor, try using the Motion project file instead. Otherwise, try rendering to the animation codec which is better than NTSC DV. As long as your project isn’t too long, it shouldn’t take long to render in the app you import it into.
If that doesn’t work, let us know.

Yup.
They just released LiveType 2.0 with Final Cut Studio.

It may be due to your sequence settings in FCP. If you’re working in a DV codec (CompressorDecompressor), then all those spankin’ clean 8 bit graphics created in Motion are now been “tortured” with 5:1 compression when brought into the timeline of the FCP project.
This is one reason people work in an offline/online workflow. Once you have your edit down, recapture the finished sequence in a better codec. Then bring in your Motion project and things should be golden. Or, start with a better codec and just do the whole thing at DV50. Not the best, but certainly better than the DV codec.
Not sure if this is where the problem lies, but it is common enough that it may be your situation as well.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Ron!
Glad to finally be grazing in Motion forum. Looking forward to what’s coming up with Final Cut Studio and I have my Ozone keyboard ready for the MIDI intergration with Motion 2.
Should be fun!

Roy,
Pretty much anything in Motion can be keyframed if it has a parameter to change. Here’s one approach (albeit a little dangerous if you don’t watch ou!).
1. Apply your filter to the appropriate object in your Motion project. It will also load into the filters tab in the ultility pane on the left hand side (if you don’t see it, you can hit F3 to activate the Filters tab).
2. Set your playhead to the frame you want to start keyframing your filter.
3. In your “tape” transport controls (play, pause, loop , etc.). turn on the record button (left hand button).
4. In your filters tab, set your parameters to where you want them. Or, leave them at their default if you want them to start there.
5. Remember, EVERYTHING you change once the record animation button is on will be recorderd as a keyframe.
6. Move your playhead to the next frame that you want to chage parameters and then change them in the filters tab.
7. repeat for each change you want.
8. Turn of the record animation button, hit Home on your keyboard and now you should have keyframed your filter!
This is only one way to do it, but it is fast and as long as you remember to turn the record animation button off, you’ll be fine.
Hope this helps!
