sending a rendered file from FCP to Motion – hopeless?
The integration between FCP & Motion is great, but whenever I send a clip that has been rendered (say for example sped up) a random clip will appear in its place in the Motion timeline.
So I’m having to export the FCP timeline and import into Motion. All very good and fine, but rather defeats the purpose of Apple’s studio integration.
Anyone know a way of tricking Motion into linking to the render file? Or is this something peculiar to my system?

I’ve found Motion/FCP integration to be a bit too unpredictable in terms of altered or filtered clips. It’s more time-consuming to export the timeline but the results are guaranteed so that’s what I do.

From the chapter explaining FCP Integration with Motion. (In the Motion’s Manual, I didn’t check FCP’s)
“When exporting to Motion, Final Cut Pro does not export properties omitted from the
list above, such as filters, generators, and transitions. Time remapping and speed
changes also are not exported.”No voodoo with your set up. Just not a supported feature.
What was in the list as supported,

True- it’s doing only as promised but it would be preferable to have filters, time-remapping, etc at least as a check box option on send to Motion. Some users I’ve worked with have been surprised at this not already being so. Consider it a feature request.

I’m was just pointing out that instead of being suprised that certain aspects aren’t translated, checking the manual outlines what to expect, eliminating the suprise.
Obviously, having all objects and effects come across would be the no brainer solution. I double the feature request.
