Ok.. I had a nice nip and figured out this silly problem… if this was special cases’ special case, perhaps s/he felt too silly to admit it. I have two monitors. I had recently moved my computer and scrambled up which monitor was my main one (the one attached to my Radeon)… soooo, when I moved the preview window to the other monitor, voila, I’m back in business.. thank you Tanqueray, you make a fine gin and tonic and a whole lot of sense.

Thanks, Bill and Jim. I guess the play it backwards idea is probably the simplest way to achieve this… why didn’t I think of that?

Thanks, Pol, but I’m still having the same problem… You’re right, it should work-that’s why I’m baffled. I also have tried exporting this video clip as an image sequence. In this case, the individual gif or png sequence does appear with the alpha channel in the motion timeline. Ahhh… I’ve been messing with this all day… I’ll just stick to using these transitions in FCP..although I thought it would be convienient to drop these stock transitions right into my Motion projiects instead of jumping back and forth… I still don’t understand where the difficulty lies, seeing as you are able to do it no problem… Maybe someone has an idea what I may be doing wrong?
thanks,
Imari
