You cannot color the entire clip (as far as I know) but if you click on the track layout pop-up menu on the lower right, you can select show clip labels which will give you a highlight on the clip name in the color you have designated in the bin.

Expand your track height to the tallest level and then look at the track and notice the very subtle, thin grey line about 2 thirds of the way to the top that runs through the track. If you drag a clip above this line, FCP inserts, below it, you get an overwrite. That one tripped me up for a while too.

place your white or other backgroung on V1, the text on V2, and the video to fill the text on V3. Right-click v3 and change the composite mode to travel matte luma. That should do it.

In the far lower left hand of the interface next to the speaker there is an icon of two horizontal lines, the top one shorter than the bottom, click it. Right click in the new expanded area under one of your audio clips and select pan. Your pan is now graphically represented in the timeline and you can insert keyframes and control the pan from here or animate it.

If you have an edit point selected and then arrow up and down it will jump to the edit points on that track only.

I think the best way to approximate what you are trying to achieve is put all your effects into one layer in Motion and drag the layer into the favorites folder, then send the new clip you want to use from FCP to motion and drag the newly-created favorite into your canvas, swap the shots and you should see what you want. This is more steps, but should do what you need it to do. I have also had some success with copy and paste from one motion project to another. In other words, send the new clip to a motion project just as a way to hold it and copy it into the original composite.

Are there any motion files in that third sequence? I have experienced a similar problem which was solved when I exported the graphic elements from motion as rendered QTs rather than reference files and cut them back into the sequence.
