That’s because that emitter uses the Gravity simulation behavior to animate the direction of the particles (negative gravity to make them go up).
Deactivate the Gravity behavior and instead select the Emitter and increase the Speed amount (after rotating the emitter or the layer containing the emitter by 90 degrees. You may need negative speed depending on the direction of your rotation.

Link the position of your second text box to a dummy text field so you can control its position FCP – here’s a video that describes the process

Apply an Image Mask to your video (Object > Add Image Mask) and then drag the text to the well in the HUD.

Adding a checkmark to the Anamorphic parameter in project properties, as I suggested, does the same thing as changing the Aspect ratio directly like you did. Like I said, sometimes the flag gets lost between Motion and FCP. Nothing you can do about it.

Did you confirm the anamorphic flag is set? It sometimes gets missed between FCP and Motion – that is the usual culprit.

Why export at all? Just drop your Motion project into your FCP sequence. If they still aren’t widescreen, press command-9 to get project properties and make sure there is a checkmark in the Anamorphic column.

That’s a really interesting question – really not sure how to make that happen, but would be cool if you could. Let’s see if anyone else weighs in.

Sure. Just select your graphic and in the Inspector, in the Shadows section, set it to “Shadows Only”

Make sure your Motion project file has the same pixel dimensions as the Photoshop file.
