Go to this page there are quite a few tutorials. Most of them s for After Effects but the process of making a 3d set is the same.

Are you having the problems with Motion or FCP. If you have a problem with Motion rendering, then try the usual deleting the preferences, I also find that sometimes copying all of your groups and assets from the troubled file and then pasting it to a new motion document helps.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for sharing. I don’t know what happened to your plugin, I am sure it is free for 15 days. Anyway you did a great job anyway.

July 5, 2010 at 7:59 pm in reply to: Motion will not show alpha in my 4444 file, I’m frustrated by motion….I found that sometimes on different computers I have different results with 4444. So my workaround is to render in Animation codec with Alpha + when this happens.
Yeas, I know the file will be bigger but, it will help you do what you have to do, without being IT technician….
I hope this helps… -
Motion does have tenancies to get the colours wrong. As per Mark Spencer turorial. Hex values are very accurate and it is something you should use all the time in my opinion.
Can you please try to export again, this time use Animation codec not Apple Pro Res 444.
There is a difference in codecses, As far as I know 4444 is compressed while Animation codec is not.If this does not work then copy all of your layers and paste them in a new Motion Document, save it, then re-render the animation.
You can also try as a last resort to delete Motion preferences, then render agin.Let me know how you get on.

Firs thing is, are you using hex values. Use the link from the tutorial I gave you to download the Hex for Apple Colour. Install it. Then use it to get the correct colours. My tutorial was actually explaining this in detail. Anyway, you also need to tell me what codec are you using to render your animation. If I am you, I wold use Animation codec. As this is a codec that is uncompressed, if you are using h264 (MP4), then what your client wants is not possible, as the degradation of colour will occur due to the codec limitatios of H264 codec.
Also read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
I hope this helps.
Let me know please.. -
