FCP X Motion and After Effects workflow
Since getting to know X it has quickly become my NLE of choice. Still there is the lack of the “Send To Motion” option. I will be primarily be doing basic motion graphics and lower third work in Motion but will use After Effects for more complex stuff because it has expressions. Is there any product out there that will allow me to ship my timeline from X to either Motion or After Effects? What would be the best one?
Happy New Year to Tim Wilson, the COW staff and everyone on here. A new year is fast approaching!

Clip exporter in the App Store will. But don’t expect it to recreate anything but the media and straight forward cuts.

Another option is to use Xto7 to create and save an XML.

Then in Ae, use the File > Import > ProImport Ae menu.

But not as cheap. 🙂 should support more functions though.

[Bret Williams] “should support more functions though.”
and stay up to date as its a currently developed app! 🙂

Are you talking about xto7 or clip exporter? Not sure if exporter is still supported, but it works with 10.1 so should be good for awhile. Xto7 is certainly supported, but how long 7 will still function is anyone’s guess.

Xto7 is what I am talking about.
All the others are not developed anymore.
Xto7 translates to XMEML. Adobe also uses XMEML and have made significant changes to it since CS5.
Also, Xto7 has made improvements to help translations to CC.
Right now, it’s the most developed option and available from the AppStore. None of the other options are available at the AppStore.

That’s too bad, clip exporter was pretty decent. But x to 7 is better for sure. I just keep forgetting you do’t actually have to go to legacy in-between. Why don’t they rename that thing already?

XtoXMEML doesn’t have the same ring to it.
XtoPr doesn’t work plus it’s too close to XtoPro
XtoPremiere?
XtoCC? Ecstacycy?

Xto7 is a good option, untill you want to send to Motion.

It obviously does not work with Motion.
I was speaking of Ae/CC specifically.
