saving motion projects

[Julian Bowman]

Cheers, I figured it out but thanks anyway.

“You bought an FCP X title effect. It was specifically designed to be used in FCP X.”

Actually i was sold what I believed was a Motion 5 template with various elements. Obviously I’m not saying you are wrong as the suffix tells you what it is, but it wasn’t obvious and I didn’t knowingly buy something for FCPX, but rather Motion 5.

Anyway, .motn will be my friend, it even lets me play chicken in the middle lane of the motorway if I want to, bless it’s cotton socks.

.moti…. hmmm, go away control freak.

If you bought from motionvfx.com, they usually provide a separate .motn Motion project as well as a title project and more.

I did as it goes, but I used the title version rather than the project and looking at them all the title, lower 3rd and transition are all .moti

Guess that makes sense in a way if you want to use those in FCPX but i’m still with 7… plus I always prefer being in control of where I put things and am happy saving out finished versions and dropping them in 7.

Still, going to bite the bullet and try X in the not too distant future so I’ll see if I will do it their way or my way.

At least I know how to regain control, so thank you for your time on this 🙂
