Sorry we’re doing a 15 minute daily show with a crew of 6 in Canada. The motion files were created on a macbook pro and we’re finishing the show on a new 2x 2.66 GHz 6 Core Intel Xenon wit h16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 with the 5770 card. The templates created on the macbook show black where the drop zones are when opened in a FCP sequence or in Motion on the Mac Pro.
Update to post. I’m running 10.7.1 and have the ATI Radeon HD 5770. I am having issues with Motion 4 templates created on Macbook running Motion 4. Any ideas will be appreciated.
You can’t use firewire. There is a specific cable that connects the camera to the usb of the computer when the camera is in pc mode. The port for the cable is on the side of the camera. Read the manual.
Change the name of the h.264 file from .mov to .flv. Adobe Flash adopted h.264 as codedec of choice some time ago. I have been doing this and posting to the web for months. It seem too easy to be true but it works. Try it.
I export QT reference file and use Compressor to encode to h.264.mov. Then change the .mov to .flv and it plays fine in a flash player. Flash adopted the h.264 codec some time back. All the video posted on our web site is encoded this way and it works great.
