I notice the run-time numbers of the exported Motion movie is different to that of the Motion project play-range.
Tried trashing prefs, no better.

…only for Motion4.

Thanks again,
Good to know that using media between in and out markers can be directly sent to Motion.
I don’t import as a Motion project because I may need these overlay clips as a separate movie for other purposes, and also to preserve the higher quality on a final re-render to ProRes.

Thanks Mark, these are not independent clips, I’m including parts of clips, so
I’m exporting as self-contained movie current settings between in and out markers. Should I nest these for “send to Motion”?
Strangely, it did work for me before. Could you please give me your settings for exporting from Motion with alpha channel.

[Julian Fisher] “The codec was official Sony EX3 plug in specifically for getting clips into FCP… “

For all you Sony EX3 users..
What are the characteristics of the XD cam editing presets that actually run in FCP 6+? Surely a frame-by-frame algorithm etc

..and it (hopefully) goes without saying that it will reflect faithfully the quality of the codec you used in your FCP time-line, which can be lower than the native media.
So what codec did you choose?

[Alexander Kallas] “[David Roth Weiss] “He clearly said that he created it in the animation codec. And, if he adds a graphic with the animation codec to a DV timeline, changes the compressor to ProRes, then re-renders that timeline, he absolutely does get the full benefit of ProRes, with pristine graphics.
”

Correct, but only if he did not render the imported text in DV before changing it all to ProRes. I suspect he may have rendered in DV first, why else the problem?
“

David, assuming the above is the case, can it be recovered, ie improved, by first trashing all the render files, and then re-render in ProRes?
