The “long-tooth crusade” to add useful features?

Like, stone or fabrics.

Have you considered a simple right-click in FCP? 😉

So how do I send over a 2 minute edit, with handles and clip sin tact by selecting “reveal in Finder”?
that would be great if it worked.
Or how about I export an XML, open Motion, and then I just File > Import > XML … oh never mind.

I care because I’m curious about the tools of my trade. I care about Avid, Lightworks, Vegas, Edius, and Resolve, about PC workstations and Radeon graphics cards, about 7 to X and X to 7, about SAN networks and video over IP … and I don’t use any of them at the moment. I’m curious because my working environment might change and I like to stay informed.
So when many FCPX users lament the fact that their is no “send to motion” and you claim that there is an effective workaround, I’m curious about the contradiction.
However now that Michael Hancock has explained the situation I see that their is no contradiction.

Ah yes. As always. Unless of course, this time, you’d care to quote the passage where I said that? Spoiler: of course not. You can’t.

I don’t understand. This whole time, while it seemed like you were telling Herb he doesn’t understand FCPX/Motion integration, you were actually agreeing that there is no effective workaround for the lack of “Send to Motion” in a compositing context?

Well there was this —
[Robin S. Kurz] “Or simply hit ⌘⇧R with the timeline clip selected and make a Motion project from the clip from there. Done. Publish to FCP and switch back and forth at will with a simple right-click or ⌘Tab. So… I guess someone needs to explain that thing about “not two-way” again? But then actually using the products has been know to work wonders.”
Since I had already defined “send to motion” as a two-way, or bi-directional process, this implied that there is an equivalent to a “send feature.”

Erm… where exactly did I do either i.e. do more than acknowledge the fact?
[Robin S. Kurz] “Aside from not being able to send a clip directly from the FCP timeline…”
Whether the various options described are “effective” for others is not actually for me to decide. But apparently it’s not a huge issue with actual users from what I’m reading, no. Go figger. 🙂
As much as I will welcome a sending option as much as anyone once it comes, it is far from the ultimate defining aspect of Motion’s current integration with X. Assuming one is even familiar with it and doesn’t just want it to be for the mere sake of argument. Again: it is exponentially tighter and more powerfully integrated with X than it ever was with 7. With or without send. But if SEND is all that matters to you, ah well… there are options. One of them being the app “SendtoMotion” by the way, if that should strike you as more “effective”.
