Motion 2 & FCP Express HD

[Reneon]

sorry I shouldn’t have the p for pro in there 🙂

As far as I know-no. You can easily export QuickTime files back and forth but I don’t know that the direct project level intergration is there with Express. I suspect it’s just one of those many features reserved for the pro version.

Thanks Noah, sounds likely.

Hey Rene,

Final Cut Express HD can read Motion projects as if they were movies, just like FCP, DSP and Shake. What FCE HD doesn’t provide is the round-tripping that FCP does. You have to make your Motion project and then import it into FCE HD as a clip. In FCP, you can send clips TO Motion and get a project in return.

But in short: yes, you do get Motion project integration in Final Cut Express HD.

Thanks specialcase.

I’m doing a 3.30 min music video, I was thinking about FCE HD to organise and finesse the piece, I’m loving Motion2 so much though I’m thinking of just staying there.

Any real benefits to shipping out to FCE HD?

Thanks

Rene
