that did the trick — looks amazing! Thanks….

I’m getting imported mov files coming in at the right height, but not the right width too — I am having to expand them manually which is a pain and might mean problems later when I try to reimport them to the main movie.

the mov files are all 1280 x 720 and that’s the size of my Motion project, but the mov files are coming in at approximately 960 x 720.

(motion 3.0.2)

what is the quality like for rolling credits this way? I usually create them in illustrator, convert to curves, import into flash to get the scrolling done, then export as a mov file. Time consuming, but great results.

I use illustrator to create the scroller, save text as paths then bring it into flash and export as quicktime — that’s the only way I’ve managed to get it right. I export to QT as an uncompressed file (creates quite the file too — 20-30gb!) then use compressor to get it the correct size and speed (It often imports into final cut as a different speed, but that’s fixable)

Trouble is, I can’t include motion or livetype effects in it as they tend to wobble when scrolling.

There has to be a professional scroller available for macs — I did find one, but it was really for home use, even though the author tried to customize it for me, the quality’s just not there.
