Right... so, restart the computer (honestly that should have been the first thing you did...), and then if that still doesn't work, try what I said and export the affected areas of your project. If the glitches happen in the rendered files, then it's a problem. If they don't appear in the...

Hate to break it to you, but Canon DSLRs are NOTORIOUSLY bad at producing moire - the only exception is the newer 5D MKIII, but it can still produce it under the right circumstances. The moire isn't from exporting, it's been there from the beginning, chances are the export settings you used...

First things first - learn to edit your posts! :) Secondly, and this is a pretty obvious suggestion, but have you rebooted your computer since the sounds started occurring? Next, if the above doesn't work, try exporting the affected areas of your project - do the sounds occur then, or only in...

I've heard lots of good things about Sigma. That lens looks really good! That'll be the lens I get next then. Wide shoots can always wait a bit longer. :) Thanks!

I suppose I could just use my kit lens for close-ups... problem is that when it's zoomed in at 50-55mm, the lens is also then at f/5.6, so the image is then considerably darker. Really bad, since I already don't have professional lighting. :P

OK! This one is two seconds shorter and the sound is much, much better now that I have fixed some of the issues. I slowed down some of the background movement, and also changed the last few frames. It is the LAST revision I'm doing for now! It's about as perfect as I can get it! :lol...

YouTube played nicely with the sound on this one after all. And I exported it at higher quality so that helped a bit, I'm sure! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXWCTznU1AE Better? I cut out a good half of the intro, so now the only text movement is from the scaling. I think it looks a LOT...

It is a bit long. I cut it down to 11 seconds now, 12 including fade in/fade out time. I think that's a lot more reasonable! :) I was only comparing it to major studios originally to make the point that logos can in fact be a bit longer than 5-10 seconds, and DEFINITELY longer than 3-5 (that...

Haha, good point! :lol: Anyway, I accidentally deleted the previous video when I tried to upload the version with the final sound mix - it is A LOT better than I thought I could possibly make it. It consists of about 6 different sound effects, custom music made in GarageBand, and various...

So Motion worked without any problems this morning. Maybe I was just too tired to work on it last night and it knew it. :P I took some of the suggestions to heart (except for Santhem's, didn't see them until now!), and I think this is a lot closer to what I would deem "done". EDIT: Video...

The fade out was strangely the only way I could get Motion to export the project without crashing. I don't mind it, but if I had had my way everything would've faded out together like I originally intended! :lol: EDIT: Will, very good point. I think I will try to fix it again tomorrow... we'll...

See, I wasn't sure about the flashing blue either, honestly! I only did that to add a bit more movement to the logo. Then I realized I could do away with it entirely, add more to the background, add some text effects, and the result is below! It also has MUCH better sound effects...

Thanks! YouTube compressed the video heavily - it looks MUCH smoother on my computer screen. Yes, the text is supposed to jiggle a tiny bit, but the compression made it look a bit worse than it actually is! The text is on its own layer, so any distortion would again be from YouTube. I'm...

I made this in Motion 5 and Final Cut Pro X. It was a pretty easy process to animate everything, but a tricky process to do all the sound work! Watch in HD! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Luwy3nlZw What do you guys think of it? Its goal was to look a bit retro (particularly like something...

Well, I have done a lot of research, testing, watched a lot of videos, and have finally come to another conclusion. I would love to go the Adobe route, since it's a much better workflow and way more bang for your buck, but I just can't justify the cost of $50/month, or can hardly afford...

And to think I was happy just to surpass the 200th post mark a few days ago... I've been a member for 4 1/2 years, but I usually just read, don't post too often except for lately!

I have thought about buying CS6, but it's about $1600 - so CC is still the significantly better deal!

You make some good points. I do wish Adobe would at least let you continue to use the current version of the software you have installed on your system - you just would stop getting the upgrades. However, I guess the reason they don't do that is because everybody would just stop paying and...

Yeah, both YouTube and Vimeo compressed it quite heavily, so I'll have to see if there's a way to fix that. Indeed, shooting it on film would be perfect, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of this test, not to mention that I can't afford a film camera and film itself! :lol: But someday...

Hmm, not sure what you mean by clear and the pixels. Is it too sharp, did it need to be in softer focus? That probably would've helped, but at the time of shooting I didn't really think it through - I wanted to see what all could be done in post! And by George, it's actually pretty easy to...
