Obviously, having all objects and effects come across would be the no brainer solution. I double the feature request.

“When exporting to Motion, Final Cut Pro does not export properties omitted from the
list above, such as filters, generators, and transitions. Time remapping and speed
changes also are not exported.”No voodoo with your set up. Just not a supported feature.
What was in the list as supported,

right click on the logo’s position parameter.
select wiggle
adjust to your liking.
or…
throw an earthquake filter on the log (if you’re running M2)

Unless there is an AGP version, it aint going to work. PCI-Express and PCI-X are completely different interfaces.

ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Edition (128MB ) is the fastest card for your system that will run Motion.
I expect that there is some sort of issue with your system if your 4Ti was faster than a 9800.

I’ve not seen this emitter in person, but if it’s using a footage object (still or movie) as it’s source, you can replace it with another object by dragging the new object onto the source. If it’s actually using a text object as it’s source, simply select the text object and type your own text.
(The source refers to the object that was turned into a particle (Note it doesn’t reside in the Emitter) and is grayed out. ie: Blur08 is the source in the Basic Smoke particle emitter.)

Text behaviors only work on Text objects. You need to create the text within Motion.

“There was a rumored Uncompressed Avid codec for Motion that was downloadable somewhere,”
Is this what you were looking for?

Motion relies on QT for it’s I/O, There aren’t codecs specificly for Motion.
Walter has a good point though, many simply use the Animation codec.

You can use the layer’s Fixed Resolution parameter (click on the layer that has the the text in it in the Layer List and then select it’s tab in the Inspector) to do this. (In Motion 1, you could do this as Peter mentions in his link by putting a large transparent object in the Layer)
As for your MIDI KB, if you right click on a parameter and select the MIDI behavior, it should add the behavior to that parameter. It’s by default in learning mode so the first key or knob you twiddle should then control that parameter. Is that not the case with you?
