[peter dunphy] "lighting
field rendering
motion blur
frame blending"
These are options you need to use when you know why you want to use them.
If you have lights on in your scene, you want to render them....
Re: preferred Workflow for lower thirds

I like Justin's approach, read his post several times so you understand the nuances.
I don't use CS4 for editing, I use Final Cut and we do all of our lower thirds using a collection of templates created in Apple's...
Re: Ideal RAM for Motion 3?

in the Apple Motion Forum
Motion's performance is mostly not about RAM and your research is contradictory to what all of our brains tell us should be happening.
The card will give you the most muscle for this rev of Motion and this OS. But...

They are capable of seeing and using different types of font files. Yours does not adhere to some weird Apple-specific (one might say Apple-snobbish) file construction. Boris is more lenient and will vectorize almost any typeface you can load into...

There's even a section int he manual on how to move between AE and other external systems.
You don't need Animation except to carry alpha.
You don't automatic duck unless you expect to move the entire FCP sequence to AE. This...

Phooey.
I want Motion to live up to its promises on MY machine NOW.
We wasted almost $2k when we fell for Apple's marketing BS about nvidia 7300 SLI cards. My machines will drive 8 (EIGHT!) 30" Cinemas but I...

the 3780 (or is it 3870?) seems to be the to of the heap at the moment. It is not sold by Apple nor is it available as a custom build form Apple, which is either silly or a sublimely...
Re: make text move on curved plane

I disagree with the need to go to AE but that decision all depends on your need for realism and your competency with tool sets.
Your reference image shows only a slight bit of curvature, easily accomplished with basic distortion....

Charts require careful design in order to work well and to be legible on television. Using Excel and Powerpoint are certain ways to get terrible charts for two reasons: the graphics were never intended to be shown as rasterized pixels...
Re: FCP Footage inexplicably has speeded up

I think the first thing to try is trashing your FCP prefs, the .plist file.

Major Bug in Motion 3.02
by Collin Alexander on Feb 27, 2008 at 12:31:24 pm
in the Apple Motion Forum
I'm convinced it's not me. Motion has a major defect. Paint and Particle emitters do not exist correctly in the 3D environment. They will appear either in front of or behind other objects depending on layer order, not depending on...
