Sure, just trim it to the part you want (in FCP, in Motion, or just in Quicktime Pro) and then save the new trimmed movie.

My site has a bunch of tutorials, check under the MacBreak Studio section; Stephen on this site has great stuff, and there’s all kinds of stuff, good and bad, on youtube – best of course is to buy a training product or book IMHO…https://www.applemotion.net

Make sure the project isn’t playing when you copy and paste. If it still doesn’t work, try trashing your preferences.
1) Quit Motion.
2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it.—

Patrick Sheffield has come up with a very clever way to do this and he explains it in his new book

Use an image mask. Select the fire layer, choose Object > Add Image Mask, drag the matte layer to the well in the HUD, and in the HUD, change the Apply Mode to Luminance.

Move the anchor point and use an Oscillate parameter behavior on Rotation.

Turn off the Rate Offset behavior on the belt and the Spin behaviors on the gears and use keyframes instead – on the Offset parameter for the belt, and on the Rotation parameter of each gear. You’ll have to manual set them so they match (In Motion 4 you could link them all together and control them all with one parameter).

A couple of things:
-To make a new layer come into the project facing the camera, drag it directly to the Canvas in when in the Active Camera view
-Send to Back won’t work because that refers to layer stacking order – which doesn’t mean anything in 3D
-The HUD will have the move controls if you have the Adjust 3D Transform tool active (Q)
