Ah yes, sorry. You can probably get close using a sequence replicator behavior, animating opacity and setting the traversal to random – you’ll need to keyframe the opacity. You should also browse the presets – if one comes close, you can use it as a starting point and modify it.

All your LiveType fonts are available directly in Motion, why not just use them there?

Motion doesn’t care about codecs so just pick a preset that matches your resolution, frame rate, and pixel aspect ratio – if you don’t see one, create your own.

Hello – the Audio parameter behavior will do exactly what you want – it’s almost exactly like soundkeys. Here’s a little movie about it:

By the way, if you are using C4D 11.5, you can export your 3D data directly to a Motion project:

Select the image sequence in the Layers tab and press Shift-F to bring it up in the Media tab of the Project pane and the Media tab of the Inspector. This action selects the underlying media file. In the Media tab of the Inspector, you can change the frame rate.

Yes, open the color gradient controls in the Emitter tab of the Inspector and add opacity tags to the opacity gradient (white stripe) over the color gradient. It represents the opacity of the cells over their lives – add black tags to reduce opacity at specific times, e.g. have them fade in and fade out.

No, then you’ll just end up with a low rez clip optical flow. You want to work with your final resolution for that. Thanks for the compliment on the book!

And you didn’t have to resize or adjust any of the SD elements in the HD project? I don’t see how that’s possible.

You can’t take an SD template and just change the project preset to an HD preset and expect the template to work correctly – it won’t. What you can do is go ahead an embed one of the existing Motion DS templates into your HD project and then scale it up in FCP to fit – of course, it will be soft. You may also need to change the way FCP renders Motion projects for best results: Sequence > Settings > Render Control tab.
