[Robin S. Kurz] “It’s a given that a transition is a type of composite.”
Tell that to the guy who said this: “you’re still doing more compositing than any type of “transitioning””.
Oh, that was you!
[Robin S. Kurz] “Even that is called a behaviour, not a transition. One you can obviously use as a transition, sure. Just as you can use AE’s effects as such, as I described. But again, semantics.”
You’re arguing semantics and what things may or may not happen to be called, I’m pointing out what is actually happening in the applications under discussion. It’s only by applying your eccentric viewpoint that an Ae transition is not a transition and a Motion Fade Behavior is not a transition.

[Simon Ubsdell] “than any type of “transitioning““
We’ll just ignore the quotation marks. For arguments sake.
[Simon Ubsdell] “your eccentric viewpoint”
😀
Right.You’re all right, I’m completely wrong. Settled.

Excellent and something that I overlooked.
On the transition subject, one could make a custom built one in any NLE, though it often requires starting from scratch each time. I love using the light overlays and bokeh effects from Rampant Design Tools for the occasional custom transition. I have published a basic fade in / out effect from Motion thus avoid having to set keyframes in FCP X, a small but useful time saver.
In the meantime, I will send Apple some feedback as Mark mentioned. I always look forward to advice, tips and tricks in this forum. Please keep on doing a super duper awesome excellent job!

[Robin S. Kurz] “And great to know there’s a version of PixelConduit working with the most current versions of Motion and X… I thought it had died with Motion 3 or 4! Nice.”
I can’t vouch for its performance in Yosemite but PixelConduit seems to be working just fine in Motion 5.1.2 on Mavericks. In fact, I’d forgotten yet again what an incredibly powerful tool it is – very impressive.
For devotees of colour curves, for example, and they are many, this is just one of the many operations that Conduit now makes possible, but the really the whole feature set is astonishingly deep and flexible and extremely well thought out.
Because it runs in its own interface inside Motion rather than as a straight filter it can make for a somewhat awkward workflow but there are so many ways in which it extends what you can do that it’s really worth getting to know. Not recommended if you can’t get along with nodes, but very highly recommended if you like them.
(A joke comp to show you some of the controls …)
