I’m using Motion 3. And I’m rendering direct with the ‘Export from motion command’, since I’m only exporting Animation compressed b/w mattes to AFX.

FCP shows nicely waving green bars at all processors, when rendering. So i tried placing my Motion project in a FCP timeline and render from there. Funny thing: first thing in the timeline is a simple slomo effect from FCP: all processors work. As soon as it starts rendering the MotionProject part: boom only one processor, completely maxed out.

Looks like I’m missing the ‘use all processors for Motion too’ button somewhere.

I’ll try the –Export via compressor– tip, but it seems to me that the processing of the ‘real’ pixeldata probably still will be handled by one proc, while the encodingpass that compressor puts on it will be handled by multiproc.

I’ll keep you posted, thanx so far.

N[Scott Witthaus] “if you hilite and delete a clip from the browser, is it truly and totally deleted?”

No it’s not. Only the references in the project will be deleted. Th QT files will still be on your disk. The safest way to completely delete the files is, choosing make offline while Control Clicking the clip. (moving them to the trash or deleting them immediately) after that you can delete the clip from your project. Any subclips made from this QT (wether that be segments in edits or in different bins) will loose their reference to their video-files as well.

Same problem here, Trying to reduce and recapture an old FCP4.5 project in FCP5. Media Manager doesn’t seem to delete the unused footage. I took the project back to one of out other machines that’s still running in FCP4.5 (my luck that I didn’t have the time to upgrade all the machines..) And MediaManager works perfectly.

I tried the https://www.lafcpug.org/FCP_4_trim_dang_it.html workaround on FCP5 but that doesn’t help me out either.

Any thoughts? or is the Mediamanager in FCP5 crooked?
