Motion Effects projects slow to load/save

Pro-apps-dev mailing list (Pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/pro-apps-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a… In order to work around some of the time-remapping problems, we're setting up markers in the project to create a loop. This seems to short-circuit the time remapping and we get 1-1 frame numbers. To prevent the user from seeing a pop where the loop repeats, we're making the projects very long -- 10 hours, which is hopefully longer than any clip the user will apply it to in FCP X. Unfortunately, when we do this our projects take ages to load or save -- 10 minutes or more in some cases. The time seems to be proportional to the duration of the project, and the render speed of our effects. During this time, Motion is using 100% CPU, and when I look at stack traces from the performance monitor app, it seems to be rendering. Is it trying to render out the whole project or what?

Re: image/points orientation in Motion 5 vs FCPX

Re: image/points orientation in Motion 5 vs FCPX

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.18) Gecko/20110617 Thunderbird/3.1.11 There seems to be a difference in image orientation between FCPX and Motion5. I noticed in Motion 5 that both point controls and images seemed to be interpreted up-side-down from the way I was doing things (in my stuff the top-left pixel is point 0,0). So I reversed the y axis for points and began walking images from bottom up and now my effect matches up in Motion 5. However in FCPX something is now backward - it's either the points or the images, but I can't tell from the image row data pointers where the image origin is. Anyone have any clue about each is supposed to work, and how you're supposed to tell which way the origin is? - Nathan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Re: getInputBitmap in FCPX - giving me the drop source arrow icon instead of image?

The timeline rendering makes workarounds difficult, i.e. you can't just cache a frame from the last renderOutput call. You might able to do your processing from parameterChanged in renderOutput (if the output data is small and the process is fairly fast), and store a map of render time to output data that you can access during parameterChanged. For the currentTime bug, the best workaround seems to be storing the time passed to an OSC. Okay thanks for the clarification. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I also hit the "custom data not getting saved" bug, which pretty much kills about 6 of my more advanced filters. Hopefully we'll see an updated version of FCPX with all of these fixes this year so we can support it. As it is now it would be a support nightmare for us.
