In Motion, press command-J to bring up your project properties. Make sure your background id transparent.
As long as you are importing a native .motn file into FCP, that should be all you need to do.
If you are rendering (export), make sure that you are exporting the project with an Alpha channel.
Hope that helps.

Special Case,
Nice explanation. The link to the lights tutorial was a broad overview and you really targeted the workflow.

As long as you are using a native Motion Project file or a codec that supports transparency, you shouldn’t be having a problem.
Do a Command-J on your Motion project and make sure your Background is set to transparent.

Ampede’s LayerLink is the product you need if you want full support of Illustrator files in Motion.

Unfortunately no. When it comes to laptops, you’re locked into the graphics card that you chose when you got your system. This is still true with the current lineup of MBPs.
Motion, like Aperture, is looking to that graphics card for some serious heavy lifting. If you really want to take advantage of what Motion can offer it really requires the one, two, three punch. Fast processor/s, lots of RAM and a good graphics card.
I’m on my third 17″ laptop. Why? Motion!
Take care.

Not sure if I can recreate this on my end.
One suggestion:
Try creating a null object and placing that on your canvas (make sure you turn of the object in the layers view).
Then drag your objects into you canvas that you want to be affected by the Vortex behaviour.
Select the null object and apply the Vortex behaviour and see what happens.
If this doesn’t work, then something is funky. Maybe try making sure you have all the recent updates for Motion.
Hope this helps.

It’s a driver issue for the most part and ATI cards don’t currently support resolutions above 2048 x 2048. Go with Jim’s recommendations and get an nVidia card that supports 4096 x 4096 if you to work in a higher rez than 2K.
