  Importing a Motion 4 project into AE CC

  Posted by Tad Newberry on February 7, 2014 at 5:25 am

  i see that i can easily import the whole project, but that way it comes in as a single layer. i surfed around a bit and found that Automatic Duck will import it and separate out all the elements, though it appears to only be available for up to CS5.5. Is there something more current out there that you guys are using?

  thanks for helping out a bonehead!

  Dang…i answered my own question. It appears to work GREAT for CC. I’ve now imported both an FCP and Motion project and pretty much everything seems intact. Just saved myself a few days work.

  The Automatic Duck technology is built into After Effects CS6 and later:
