I don’t think Motion is the issue, I think it has more to do with saving it as a Smart Template for FCP X – something to do with the naming structure.

Looks like it’s having trouble with the image sequence. You might try turning the image sequence into a movie in Quicktime and replacing with the the movie, then saves as an FCP X generator.

Why don’t you “bake” certain complex groups by exporting just that group, and replacing the group with the baked movie? Motion can do this for you semi-automically using Export Selection and there’s an option to reimport into project in the export dialog. Once you’ve done this a few times, you should be able to then export the full project.

Put the mask on the group containing the image – then you can move the image independently of the mask.

Ivan, I think it’s expected behavior – I see the same thing. The overall Origin is still being respected, but the order for each “layer” is being shuffled – so you never get truly randomized animation. It would be a great feature request.
