Project playback performance in Motion
When you play back a project, Motion attempts to display your sequence in real time.
However, if your computer has an older graphics card, or if have more than one monitor
connected to your graphics card, playback performance may be negatively affected.
Your graphics card also determines the maximum file size you can import into Motion. For
most recommended cards, the image size limit is 4K or 8K. For the best results, resize
very large images to the largest size required in the project, but no larger. Computers with
graphics cards containing minimum amounts of video RAM (VRAM) may experience poor
performance (or other issues) when creating 4K projects. For more information, visit the
Motion website at apple.com/finalcutpro/motion.
Note: Because of hardware limitations and differences, the appearance of projects shared
between computers with different installed graphics cards may vary.
