Q: Help with Motion 5, frame rate ridiculously low

I'm very new to Motion, and every time I try to import a video from my iPhone, which has 30 fps, the little fps displayer says it only has 6-10 fps currently.  Why?

 

I don't really understand this...

Motion 4, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Motion 5

    hi,

     

    it might have something to do with the codec that the iphone captures in. If its an h264 based codec, these were not designed ot edit with and maybe Motion doesnt like it. Try transcoding to prorez. Also not sure what machine you have or how much RA,, or what your project size is, all these will effect performance.
