  FCP Layers to Motion not entirely correct

  Posted by Les Kaye on July 18, 2005 at 1:37 am

  As a test in FCP last weekend (sorry, back in Avidland this week), I created a simple 2 layer timeline with top layer scaled smaller and with a drop shadow, and the bottom layer with a B&W color correction.

  When it was sent to Motion, the scaling and shadow and layer placement was correct, but the B&W effect did not translate – it came in as color. Did it need to be rendered (which I can’t recall doing or not)?

  TIA,

  I’ve just done a job that involved lots of freezes and slowmo’s – just wait until you try to get those into motion! I ended up exporting each layer from FCP as a Quicktime to the treat in motion.

  As a guess the B&W cc may have to be performed with one of the effects that DOES translate from FCP to motio – there must be a table of supported effects out there (ie 3 Way CC probably doesn’t work)
