Dave,
I would say a 5 minute export out of Motion is a long one! Try breaking the project up into chunks and reassembling in FCP.
I’ve always thought of the audio in Motion as a guide track.

The storyboard patent news has been around for few weeks already
Normally the first place to break stuff like that

There are a few ways of doing this.
1) Drop the movie into the media tab, then alter the in & out in the media tab of the inspector.
2) Drop the movie into the dropzone and then use I/O keys and slip media for timing

Yes, The I and O keys 🙂

SanMP, so Volume based?

Is it volume or file based?
Peter

That will be the reason they don’t show up in FCP!!!
Is it a pen pressure/opacity thing?
Peter

Yes, but if you toggle to the chequerboard it will show the transparency of the strokes better.

What does it look like in Motion over the chequerboard background?

The simplest way to do shared storage is to make one computer a file server and share out the media.
This depends on the data rate as the cheapest way to share is through a GigE ethernet switch which means forget uncompressed.I finished a job this year where we had a main MacPro connected to a XServeRAID that was used as a digitsing/edit station, a separate main edit MacPro and a playback Mac. We were also streaming EVS files onto the RAID via the MacPro. Quite a lot of traffic without a hiccup.
Granted, you guys have MacBookPro’s so no guarantee if it will work, but computers are getting so fast these days they can do a lot in the background.
Hope that helps
Peter
