It’s a circle/ iris wipe with a border and with the center off screen a bit. Should be in your transitions and be able to recreate something similar.

I just drag them to the keyword collection.

That. Retain oh animates the mask shape, but it doesn’t warp/transform the fill/background which Inthink the OP is getting at.
-
What about slice X with color finale? If you have slice X and color finale it adds a special slice X enabled mocha powered mask to color finale. IOW cf is only applied to the mask.

It would be an interesting test to see if you put the animation file from Motion5 into Motion 4 and output to see if it decreases the file size so dramatically.

I don’t know. If they’re not the same animation, it is variable bit rate, so it’s deeming the other needs ore. Perhaps you have one with a moving camera and the other is locked off. Why worry about 20megs either way?
But use the better ProRes 4444 if you can. Should be better results in smaller file.
-
I think you are mistaken about an animation codec file being 1-2 megabytes unless it was a couple frames long.
Animation codec is pretty old. Give ProRes 4444 a try. That’s the standard.

I would copy the library to an external. Take it home. Any imports you make of new footage import into a new event. Make all your edits and such to the project. Then bring the drive back. Open up both libraries. In FCP X copy the project (not event or library) from the library you’re bringing back to the master. It will automatically copy over any new media and the keywords will come along. Then copy over all the new media you loaded in the new event to the regular event. Any clips that weren’t used by the project will get copied. If you’re not using internally managed libraries then you’ll also need to hit the consolidate button otherwise media will still be linked to the external.
That’s what I’ve been doing. No duplicate shots occur. But when one computer has certain plugs or custom motion fx and the other doesn’t, sometimes FCP X just removes them. Even just leaving a blank transition with no data. I’ve also recently found a few FX that didn’t get exported over XML. Could be user error, but my NewBlueFX color correction plug doesn’t get exported in XML. Just vaporizes.

I guess if anyone had the money, Disney would.

Maybe OT, but I was recently at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando and saw the Frozen Sing Along show. There was a huge backdrop that looked very well painted or printed of the castle. I was just amazed at how good the resolution was of that print. Not a pixel could be seen. And I was in the front row and it was only 35 feet away perhaps and 50ft wide by 30 feet tall. Pretty big in any case.
But then the show started and it started showing scenes from the movie. Holy moly not a pixel could be seen. Had to be 8k or more and immaculate. Blown away. On closer inspection it was likely made of tons of smaller display panels but so many that it had a nice arc to it without the panels being noticeable. No breaks or seams. One HUGE display of what appeared to be limitless resolution.
Good example https://youtu.be/ApKtB1LRYbo – still hard for a video recording to do it justice of course.
Before 2015 and/or at DisneyLAND it appears to have been run of the mill projection that looks washed out in other videos.
Anyway, I was impressed. But for all I know it’s old tech. I don’t get out of the basement much!
