That btw is not even to mention that you’ve been able to assign any random shortcut to any menu item in pretty much any app for literally years now… via the Keyboard System Preferences.
I simply mentioned the other option first, since that’s the most obvious i.e. easiest one to implement.
And just may explain why Apple has “refused” to implement your endless request. Maybe they just trusted you’d figure it out on your own eventually. ????

Hey Simon,
In my Motion learning curve, I just came across the Project/General settings in the Inspector. There is a Background setting where you can specify a solid color background instead of transparent. I tested it and by setting that to solid black, I see that I can get good jpeg current frame output.
Any disadvantage in doing it this way as opposed to putting a solid black rectangle at the bottom of the layers as you suggested?
thanks

It does the same thing.
But I would suggest that it’s not good practice, because you will inevitably forget to change it back after you’ve finished and then the next time you want to export a project with transparency you’ll wonder why the heck there is none.

Good to know. You make a good point. All I really need it for is to get a good Current Frame, so I could even just turn it on, crank out the jpeg, then turn if off.
Appreciate your help.

I am going to get tough about this here because this forum will get referenced again in the future by people other than you.
Your suggested method is very bad practice. You might like it, but I cannot recommend that anyone else adopt it.
It’s extremely important to be addressing the issue of transparency *within the context of the individual project*. This is just good housekeeping. You should always know what the alpha channel of your project looks like and be in direct control of it.
The notion of killing off transparency via the Preferences is a recipe for disaster. And completely unnecessary and inappropriate.
