Joseph,
Thanks for your help. I don’t have or know how to use any 3D software like C4D. I wanted to place a person on a building that was shot on a green screen so I would need to be able to key them out. I was hoping for some sort of way to attach them to a null object or something so their position would be the same as one of the buildings. Is that even possible?Stephen Smith – Follow me on Behance

Geoffrey, I need to do the same thing. Have you figured it out yet?

For a Lens Flare plug in I think it is the best one out there. I would check out this page which has samples of the product in use: https://www.videocopilot.net/products/opticalflares/

Actually, I think the reason for it was that they were getting rid of 32-bit support and making it a purely 64-bit app. Most of those older codecs are 32-bit only which is why Compressor has remained a 32-bit app (for compatibility).After Effects is a 64 bit program (And has been for a very long time) and it still will let you export out the Animation codec. After Effects gives you a lot more options. This is where Adobe Shines, you can import basically any RAW codec into PPro or AE and you get more options for exporting out videos.
[Andy]
In my opinion, if AE isn’t supporting alpha in ProRes4444, then that’s on Adobe. ProRes isn’t a new codec, it’s been around for years and is a topline codec for editing and gfx.Adobe does support ProRes. It is PC that doesn’t. (Once again, I don’t think Apple plays nice with the other kids in the sandbox) I’m on a Mac and I work with ProRess all the time in Premiere Pro and After Effects. It is my codec of choice when I’m not working with RAW files. If Christopher was only working on a Mac this question would have never come up.
[Andy]
For the OP, I’d suggest outputting from Motion using the Send to Compressor function. Then use an Animation codec setting in Compressor.That is what I think would be best and have recommended.

Some more details:
The original footage was shot on a DSLR. The raw footage mov’s were transferred from the SD card directly to the hard drive which I then imported into FCP.
The sequence preset is set to HDV 1080p30You have to log and transfer your DSLR footage into FCP you can’t just import the clips. Shane has a great tutorial on this and I’m sure he will be willing to post a link to it.

From Motion 4 to Motion 5 you lost codec options. I was under the imprison that was due to Apple wanting you to use Compressor. I don’t use Motion a lot anymore these days and this is one of the reasons why.

Do PC’s play ProRes? I thought they could only read them but not work with them. If I’m wrong do a ProRess 4444 and set to millions +. If you are on Motion 4 just export out an Animation Codec set to millions +. If you are on Motion 5 I believe you can send your project to Compressor and export it out as an Animation codec set to millions +. You have to have it set to millions + since the plus part is the alpha channel. Hope this helps and best of luck.
