Weird timeline from my own 3D Motion Generator
I try to get a quite complex animated 3D scene (camera 360 deg 10 s rotation) saved as a Motion Generator. The idea is of course to re-use the scene in FCP.
I face occasionally (every second update or so) a very strange behaviour from FCP:
After I update the Generator from Motion:
- Motion saves a mov clip file which looks almost ok (some3D detail strangely missing but that is likely not relevant to this question)
After I start FCP, I get either situation:
- I drag the generator title on a new project timeline, retime it (or not) and everything ok
- I drag the generator title again and I get a completely *unexpected* *fix* clip, without camera move and on a totally different camera angle. This clip is out of the blue as I didn’t plan it…
I am totally puzzled by FCP behaviour. I kept Motion cameras to a strict minimum (one!) assuming that it may bring trouble to FCP. But it seems I was wrong.
I also suspected slow rendering from FCP of the motn clip could trigger this. During rendering both timeline clip AND the browser icon look sometimes both wrong…
The trouble is that once in the timeline the wrong clip sticks, and even rendering does not help…
Option/cmd/restart didn’t help…
I got short of ideas and I have no idea what could trigger this behaviour from FCP.
Am I doing something wrong here? Br
