  Import Motion info FCP

  Posted by Ed Breland on October 24, 2005 at 8:19 pm

  When I import a simple Motion text animation, let’s say with a shadow or glow, into FCP the alpha has dark edges as if it is keying over black. When I encounter this in AFX I change the bg color to match the color of the alpha and everything works fine. Not so with Motion. Any suggestions?

  Try interpreting the alpha channel as premultiplied with black when importing a Motion project as a clip.
