Modify the resolution settings to 960x540 (custom) and ProRes 422 Proxy. I recommend creating a duplicate project for this purpose. Use the Range tool, which will snap to the markers and Share/export your segments (Audio only will do.) Whatever you export, you will be deleting it from the Motion project before you save so you don’t duplicate the footage. Use markers to set up your segment divisions and turn Snapping on. In FCPX, it’s easy to split video into shorter segments with the Range tool. Don’t try to subtitle a full length motion picture with a single file. So, simply, reason two takes care of reason one automatically. One, there is a limit to the amount of text that Motion can handle with the File text generator (it’s been a few years since I calculated that and cannot quite remember but somewhere around 15000 characters seems familiar - it doesn’t matter because) two, keyframing the File generator is more difficult if there are too many lines per file. Longer projects like full length motion pictures or an hour broadcast, depending on the density of dialog will probably need to be broken up into smaller 15-20 minute segments or clips. A short project, 20 - 30 minutes or less can be handled quite easily. Subtitles are quite easily accomplished in Apple Motion and in my opinion, easier than any other type of subtitling software available. However, in this article, I’d like to discuss a more practical application: subtitles. He's also one of the top producers of 3D models using fonts in Motion and FCPX, so please make sure you check out his YouTube page and store. (Worth a look just for his awesome recreation of a 3D Gibson Les Paul in Motion)Īfter that introduction, it's over to Fox.Īpple Motion is just a lot of fun and I enjoy using it on a daily basis for all kinds of illustrations, 3D modeling, exploring ideas, etc. If you have ever built a plugin using that method then you can thank him for doing the hard detective work of figuring the process out. Just to give you an idea of Fox's FCPX, Motion and plugin knowledge, he was the first person to work out how to convert onscreen control points into corners for shapes. His first tutorial is building a custom Motion generator to automatically generate subtitles in Final Cut Pro X. He probably knows more about fonts and 3D in Motion than anybody outside of Cupertino, so we are very happy that he has agreed to let us in on a few secrets. We give a very warm welcome to Fox Mahoney as he joins our roster of talented writers.
