I know…I know…
I know this isn’t a motion Forum, but lets be serious…nobody answers posts in that forum. I’m hoping that somebody can help me out with a very small task…
In FCP, I use the “Travel Matte – Luma” composite mode quite frequently when building transitions. I have a full screen graphic on V2, and my Matte on V1. I set composite mode on the graphic on V2 to “Travel Matte – Luma.” I need to add the basic 3D filter to a transition I am building, so I have to do this in motion. HERE IS MY PROBLEM:
When I send the sequence to Motion, it ignores the composite modes that are associated with the tracks. I need to do one of the following: Tell Motion to import the composite modes with the clips – or – Set the composite mode in motion to Travel Matte – Luma. DOES ANYONE KNOW A WAY TO DO EITHER OF THESE???
I’d be happy to share the transition when it is complete. I am duplicating the transition commonly used in TNT’s NBA halftime and postgame reports…
Thanks In Advance!

Not true the fact that you haven’t got an answer for your question could be:-
1) Nobody knows
2) Everybody is too busy at the moment to answer
3) We don’t know what you are trying to do or your question is too vague.Anyway, I’ll have a go at it as you’ve posted here as well.

Just add an image mask to your fill layer and then drop the key layer into the well.
That should do it

I guess I wasn’t fair in saying that nobody ever answers the posts in that forum. In past months, I have posted a couple of postings that have gone unanswered, but you are correct in offering suggestions as to why…
Thanks for the help. I did just what you said and it looks pretty good. The only prolem is that the key layer is still BARELY showing through the mask. It looks like if I were to change the opacity to about 10%… any ideas?

I figured it out…the black on my mask was actually dark grey. thank you.
