Newbie question; Importing motn. alpha into FCP?
Hi all,
I used a moving lower 3rd template in Motion that has a background layer that can be replaced with video. I was able to do that, but instead of making a ton of clips to import back into FCP, Is there a way to save a .motn and import it into FCP with the alpha?
In reading previous posts, it seems that from within Motion I can make a QT w/alpha (Animation w/Millions of colors), but is there a way to save a Motion project file and import it into FCP (without using a QT file)?
Also, whichever way you guys say is the best, could you tell me what I need to do in Motion (step by step) to make sure the background will key out.
Thanks in advance!

Check your manual regarding Motion Templates- assuming we’re talking about Motion 3/Final Cut Studio 2.

Thanks Noah! Will that have info regarding alphas?
(I won’t be able to access FCP for a few days)

Yes- it would show you how to create templates in Motion with alphas that you can use for what you want to do in FCP.
