Apple, soup to nuts from content creation, distribution and delivery.
Amazing,

Discreet Smoke, Flame, FlintThe following book might help you composite in FCP “Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Pro” by Kevin Monahan, has the following quote:
Chapter 10. Video Generators: How to get the most out of generators. They have much more firepower than meets the eye! Use them for geometric shapes, travel matte effects, creating graphic fill, or as standalone design elements. Tricking the render order pipeline and Z-depth matting is also covered to get even more mileage out of your stock generators.
FCP is not a compositing application, it is a non-linear editing application with layering capability.
