Exporting

[Jason Diebler]

In FCP, make sure your sequence settings match your Motion proj., and in Sequence Settings set Video Processing-Motion Filtering Quality and Render Control-Quality to Best.

If that doesn’t work, do what Zak said. Copy and paste into new project.

If you have layers that can be flattened, like a 2D motion background for instance, you could export layer by layer, and piece it back together in more digestible chunks for Motion to handle… so Motion isn’t processing 10 glow filters on a layer that could’ve been pre-flattened into a movie.
