Audio formats
You can import audio les with sample rates up to 192 kHz and with bit depths up to 32 bits.
Mono and stereo les are supported. Multichannel audio les are also supported. Motion
supports the following audio le types:
•
AAC (listed in the Finder with the .m4p le extension)
•
AIFF
•
CAF
•
WAV
Important: You cannot import rights-managed AAC les, such as those purchased from the
iTunes Store.
For more information about the le formats supported by Motion, go to the Motion website at
http://www.apple.com/nalcutpro/motion.
QuickTime movies
Motion supports QuickTime movies using any le format (codec) installed on your computer.
Although you can import movies in nearly any codec, avoid using highly compressed clips
in projects. Excessively compressed clips can display undesirable visual artifacts. Fortunately,
QuickTime provides many codecs ideal for moving uncompressed or minimally compressed
video les between applications, including Apple ProRes 4444 (XQ), Apple ProRes 4444, Apple
ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422, Uncompressed 8- and 10-bit 4:2:2, Pixlet, None, Animation,
Apple M-JPEG A and B, DVCPRO-50, and Apple DV/DVCPRO.
Some codecs support alpha channels, which dene areas of transparency in the clip. If a
QuickTime clip has an alpha channel, Motion uses the alpha channel in your project.
You can combine clips that are compressed with dierent codecs in the same project. You can
also combine clips that have dierent frame sizes, pixel aspect ratios, and interlacing. To learn
more about alpha channels, interlacing, pixel aspect ratio, frame rates, and frame sizes, see Video
and le formats overview on page 1053.
