Thank you Mark for answering my question. You are perfectly right. One thing I didn’t try was to create a transition from scratch with newly created Drop Zones. I copied a Drop Zone of type Timeline Pin from an existing transition (opened from FCPX) to my new transition and then duplicated that a few more times. Now I discover that copies never work! You have to create a new Drop Zone each time and never duplicate or make copies. The copies only display the orange dot without a number or pin (small bug?).
Thanks again and looking forward for more of you’re Motion tutorials on YouTube.
