Apple Motion 1.0: Late-Breaking News - Manual (Page 4)

4 Late-Breaking News
NFS Volume
If you browse to an NFS network volume in the File Browser, select an object, Control -
click and choose Move to Trash, the item is deleted immediately, bypassing the trash,
and without displaying the Finder’s “The item will be deleted immediately” dialog.
PDF files
In the Media tab of the Inspector, the Fixed Width and Fixed Height parameters do not
function for imported PDF files when Fixed Resolution is turned on.
QuickTime
When a QuickTime movie containing fields, and has different sizes specified in the
Movie and Video tracks (for example, the Movie track is 486 and the Video track is 480),
is imported into Motion, the fields may be lost. This is because QuickTime automatically
resizes the file, and the fields become corrupted. Such movies can be created, for
example, if you export SD video to DV without first resizing the project to 480.
Templates
(French version only): Audio is not previewed with a saved template.
Motion Known Issues With Workarounds
Audio
• Cache corruption occurs when playback starts before the drawing of the audio
waveform is completed.
Workaround : Choose Mark > RAM Preview > Clear RAM Preview to clear the cache.
• If an audio file does not start at the first frame of a project, creating object markers in
the Audio Editor is problematic. They are either not created, or created in the
incorrect position (not at the playhead location).
Workaround : Add object markers in the Timeline rather than the Audio Editor.
Exporting
When exporting an NTSC D1 SD project that contains fields to NTSC DV, the fields are
scaled, and therefore do not match the original NTSC D1 SD fields.
Workaround : Convert the NTSC D1 project (for example, any built-in Templates) to
NTSC DV.
To convert an NTSC D1 project to an NTSC DV project:
• Choose Edit > Project Properties ( Command+J ).
• Click the Preset pop-up menu, then choose NTSC DV.
• Click OK.
