Hey Jim,
Thanks for your idea of installing the driver… the only problem is: I don’t know where to look to uninstall it. It is a Tempo SATA driver.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi Arnie,

The timeline setting is XDCAM HD422 1080p30 (50Mb/s). As is majority of the footage. So yes, I am trying to send a progressive video to Compressor. (Well actually I have made a reference movie and imported that into Compressor).

Thanks for your help,

Hey Boogie,

Thanks for your reply… What would be the exact path of the Motion pref. file. Is it in the user’s Library or just on the disk’s Library folder.

Really appreciate your guidance,

-Phil

Hello,

I have the exact same problem– with a bit of a twist. When I launch Motion 3, the large window that pops up displaying ‘MOTION 3 UPRGARDE’ never actually disappears.

The next bizarre occurrence is the arrangement of Motion’s main window. It is offset slightly to the right, as opposed to fitting perfectly in the screen.

Lastly– and this is the real kicker… I cannot access my Library, File Browser or Inspector windows! I have tried all my custom window layouts + Motion’s default, cinema, etc. Nothing I do let’s me bring up these three windows– which, as you can imagine makes FCP a better option for motion graphics, since without the inspector, you pretty much can’t exercise any precision on parameter changes.

The only time I receive the Ozone message conflict is when, in an effort to find the windows, Motion 3 will crash.

In the past, prior to Leopard + Motion updates; occasionally the Inspector would be hidden. But with some fiddling around with layouts and re-booting, things returned to normal.

All in all, Motion is currently unusable for me without access to the Inspector window– not to mention the Library & File Browser. I was thinking of re-installing, but now am wondering if (as with the poster who began the thread) it would just be a waste of time.

The bizarre thing is… from one day to the next this problem popped-up. Not even after updating any software. Mid-project. A real nightmare.

Any takers on this problem?

Thanks,

-Phil

All’s well that ends well

Thanks very much Ben! Just what I was looking for!

Hi Arnie,

Thanks for your reply…

I am aware of the record animation feature. But would there be a way to apply a behavior like I outlined above and achieve a grow to start followed by a static value for the layer’s remainder?

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply. What kind of throws me is that (it seems to me, anyways that) in previous versions of Compressor, the presets in the DVD folder, contained a setting for MPEG-2 AND aiff. But now, the DVD-presets show only AC-3 for audio encoding… David posted that Compressor 3 now only offers AC-3 in the DVD-presets. Are you manually selecting aiff audio from a custom preset?

Either way, I want to use Toast 8 to burn my DVD since its one-track, short show and do not want to fuss with all the extras in DVDSP.

My AC-3 asset file is slightly shorter in duration than my MPEG-2 asset file… Does this make any sense? It seems to me that Toast will only apply the AC-3 file as the audio track for the MPEG-2 file if the two are the same duration…?

Thanks for your input.

-Phil

Arnie,

When I wrote about the speed comparison between QT and Compressor 3, both programs used the exact same, self-contained QT movie for transcoding. Not from FCP

Hi David,

I called Apple Support and they had no idea
