I found the answer – and it was straightforward.

Imported the Photoshop file into LiveType, and rendered the movie from there.

Pull it into the FCP timeline and add the Old Projector filter – job done!

The customer wanting the film to look like a 1920’s scratched film makes the job so much easier!

Does anyone have any idea whether Motion will run well on the MacBook Pro? Whilst I wouldn’t expect comparable performance to a Quad G5 PowerMac (!) I wonder whether Motion will be useable on the new laptops?

OK, I guess we won’t really know until they are released, but do the specs look as though Motion 2 will run ok?

And did anyone get to actually play with any of the MacBook Pros at MacWorld? If so, can they comment on the speediness of the new machines?

I’ve got one on pre-order but don’t want to blow a huge ad of cash if they can’t run Motion with any degree of usefulness …
