Vector Graphics with Transparency AI, EPS??
I have a corporate logo that was given to me in AI, EPS and PDF.
How can I get this into Final Cut in vector format along with it’s alpha channel?

I am trying to import a png with alpha and that doesn’t even seem to be taking.

Well, I just exported the *.ai to a *.pct as well and even though the finder preview shows transparency, no go in FCP.
Then I exported an *.psd from the *.ai and it seems to work, although after an extensive undo session FCP just crashed on me.
So I guess *.psd is the only way I can get transparency in although definitely not vector.
Would be nice if FCP took *.ai, *.eps and *.pct.

You can create a project in Motion to match your FCP sequence specs, then drop the ai or pdf versions straight into the project.
Remember however that if you are going to scale your vector graphics beyond 100%, turn fixed resolution off for the underlying media file.
Save your Motion project, then you can import it straight into FCP and edit away. If you need to change the Motion project, you can do that straight from the FCP timeline.

Motion doesn’t seem to be showing the .ai file. I was having success with the logo in an 1080p sequence but when I take that .psd and put it an ntsc dv project it is sruggling with scaling. Very aliased. I have played with different scale and axis values.
Now FCP just crashed. Please Apple, provide universal file support. At least the popular ones.
