Use the CCow search engine to find more postings on this topic. I had the exact same issue and resolved it by trashing the quitime receipts and deleting and re-installing QT player. I am willing to bet that is the issue, but do the search for better instructions.

Here is a potential work-around; export a mono audio track from quicktime. you can find it under your file/export/audio/options setting in QT. Not the best solution, but if you are in a jam, this will at least get the audio in there.

Thanks, already tried that one

that agency should handle that. If not, at least protect yourself with a one-page release and have them sign it.

I have had very good success with the software doing composites similar to what you are describing and more complex. It sounds like you could be having an issue with what layers you have the masks applied to…not sure. you could try making sure that they are three distinct layers instead of 3 pieces of video in one. Having said that, there are definitely some buggy issues with the program, but many of these can be worked around or solved by quit/restart. Motion is only on version 2 and I think the kinks are still being worked out. good luck.

Livetype is good for the handwritten text, and you can do the video fill of letters in FCP…on V1, put your background, on v2 put the text you want to be filled, on v3 put the image you want filling the text and then change the composite mode of the clip on v3 to travel matte luma. good luck

you can also try drawing your own wipe and animating that however you want if you have Motion

Here is another option as well; in the User Preferences, set the multi-frame trim to 30, then use the ‘select all clips forward’ tool (tttt) and go through through the timeline selecting the clips in order and then hitting shift+end bracket. This will select everything after the clip and move it down a second and will do it in 2 quick strokes – one hand on the mouse and one on the keyboard and off you go… just one more way to do it, I am sure there are others.

Bret is right, Motion is most definitely the way to go and practically designed for things like opens. It is a very intuitive interface and the record button is extremely handy for the types of animations you are talking about – you can use it to rotoscope as well.

Motion can do a good job as well if you have the studio. You can combine the Primatte with several other tools like the matte choker for some pretty good results and great interaction with FCP.
