Sending a sub-clip FCP to motion
Hey,
Can someone please help me out here?
I am attempting to delve into the world of Motion, and am having a few problems even before I get started.
I wanted to add a few effects to a video clip in my FCP project that I am working on. The problem is that everytime I try to send the clip to motion,
the clip gets lost in the shuffle. What I mean here is... that Motion opens up and says that it can't find the media (the clip). In the past I have sent clips from FCP to Motion and never had this problem before.
I was wondering if the cause of this problem could be from the way the clip was originally captured and broken down. I originally captured the video for this project using "capture now", and then I broke the master clip into sub-clips using "DV stop start detect".
So I guess what I am trying to ask here is....
Does it really matter if a clip is a sub-clip when routed from FCP to Motion?
or what else could I be doing wrong that the clip isn't being found when I try to send it to Motion?
Hopefully you can understand what I am asking here,
