If my post was confusing, what I mean is that you have to use the text sequence filter. You can’t simply select certain sections of text and adjust it that way. You have to use the Text Sequence Filter to create text with mixed sizes.

September 11, 2007 at 8:30 pm in reply to: Seeking advice on Motion

I have to agree that I’m still disappointed in the performance of Motion (still using 2.1.x) though I’ve never really used AE. I’ve used Motion on 3 completely different machines – 2 G5s with Radeon 800XTs and my Quad Core Mac Pro with the x1900xt – and Motion is achingly slow on all of them. Mine does perform the best, but it’s still super slow, even when doing broadcast SD work. But when I get down to it, I attribute this to my young age, and impatience born out of being a product of an increasingly impatient group of youngins more than the program itself. After all, I’ve not been doing this long enough to really appreciate the increase in speed that Motion now has.

How are you trying to change the font sizes? Motion handles this very differently from LiveType or Final Cut’s Title 3D.

It’s funny. I’ve got a quad-core Mac Pro, with 4gigs of RAM and the X1900 XT. I still get crazy slow downs with Motion. Granted I’m still using 5.x of the studio suite, but come on! I should have very simple SD Motion projects, using 8 bit color, slow down my computer so much that I have to leave, and come back 5 min later and finally have Motion respond to me again. And HD projects? Forget about it. Unless I’m sticking to text only with less than 3 groups (layers) HD projects are almost unusable. Maybe I’m expecting too much, as I never used anything other than LiveType.

BTW, I consulted the Cow before I installed anything, and followed a very strict guideline for installing applications AND hardware.

PS I’ve noticed that when my Mac Pro gets bogged down, especially with Motion, I get strange, empty folders in my Preferences folder, with nonsensical file names.

Having said this, this doesn’t happen enough to deter me from using Motion. Overall, it’s faster, and I can achieve things I never thought I’d be able to.

I’m not sure what’s going on, but it looks like the FCP pic has been resized to make it 716×300, while the Motion version is 683×347. It’s not a huge difference, but it will effect the quality.

I’ve tried everything I can think of (re-importing the still, re-exporting and then re-importing, saving in Photoshop and then importing) and nothing works……. I don’t get it. Oh well. Guess it doesn’t matter anymore anyway, cause the client want me to just cut out the brush all together…
