Thank you EVERYONE! I knew there must be a better way. I was going nuts and now I don’t have to! Thanks again!

Thank you, Mark. I didn’t mention before that this has happened to me before and I deleted the preferences and things went back to normal for a while. Then it happened again.

I deleted preferences but when I added new keyframes it was still happening on the same clip. However, when I imported the clip again, I didn’t have a problem.

Thanks for your help!

I am adding a keyframe by going to the inspector and right clicking on a property such as rotation and choosing add keyframe. I have noticed at times on certain clips a keyframe will be placed to the left of the playhead and to the right of the previous “frame” line – in other words, in no man’s land – no where that my playhead can reach since it moves frame to frame.

Thank you, Mark…

Stephen,

I solved it but since you’re out there, I don’t want to waste the opportunity. My question is: how best to work with two monitors and motion. I understand motion is a lot slower with two monitors because they both draw on the graphics card. But apparently having two graphics cards is not good either.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the tip but I found that with my two monitors Motion was VERY slow and faster when I only used one monitor.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your reply – I bought your dvd but I haven’t had time to get to it since I’m always coming up with new questions.

So the Important note about “in order for a Motion clip to play correctly in FCP, all media files used in the original Motion project must be on the same hard disk as the FCP project” is on page 1218 under Importing a Motion Project into Final Cut Pro.

I would think most people would import photos from iphoto (which would be on the boot drive usually) and not a drive which you would have fcp media on. Maybe having all the motion and fcp media on the same drive is not as important as the manual suggests.

Thanks again.
