Thanks a lot for responding to both of you.

The strobe filter is something i like to use quite a lot. I see whilst reading through forums that on final cut 7 it was available in the fcp interface to add a strobe effect. I have been playing around with this as to try and set up a strobe effect to use directly from fcp x with clip. Setting each one up individually as a file in motion and then sending it across as a published clip seems absurd, and it would astound me if there were no faster way on a professional editing program to do something seemingly simple.

I’ve tried to publish strobe as a behaviour which is disabled. I have published a clip with the strobe behaviour so I could then copy paste, however the behaviour is then embedded and not copiable.
I’ve tried with the strobe filter, however the behaviour is completely different, and when it is published, it acts in quite a strange manner.

If it was easier to send media back and forwards between fcp x and motion i guess something like this would not be such an issue. However on reading though forums, I also see that this was something that could be done easily on fcp 7, and it is something that people were complaining about 4 years ago, and it appears that it has not changed.

I really like fcp and what you are able to do. However some key elements are missing no??

I’m not here to write off fcp, because as i said, I really like what you are able to do with it. I suppose I am just looking for confirmation that ” you cannot do what you want to do in an easier manner ” and so i will stop searching for one.
