[Trevor Asquerthian] ” (I’m on the trial)”
Where are you getting a trial from?? (O_o)
But to answer the question: yes, via Motion would be the only way I’d know how to do it. Open whichever you want and save it to a new category/theme.
Come to think of it, there’s even a (as usual) very informative clip on the subject from Mark & Steve…

Sounds to me like the LUT Utility may need an update. Have you asked Color Grading Central about it? That would seem to be the first place to go. Especially since they have a “100% Satisfaction Guarantee”. 🙂
What kind of footage is it? What’s the original format and what are you editing? Optimised? Proxy?

[Morten Slemdal] “Just curious how you can use the beziers keyframes for the camerea after the duplicaton?”
There’s a “Motion Path” behaviour that you can apply to the camera and use the existing path as its “Geometry”.

[Simon Ubsdell] “than any type of “transitioning““
We’ll just ignore the quotation marks. For arguments sake.
[Simon Ubsdell] “your eccentric viewpoint”
😀
Right.You’re all right, I’m completely wrong. Settled.

[Simon Ubsdell] “OK, let’s just leave it there.”
But then again… I guess maybe not. 😀
[Simon Ubsdell] “Your contention that a transition is not a compositing operation is still incorrect.”
Only that I called it a composition/composing several times and not once did I contend it. It’s a given that a transition is a type of composite.
[Simon Ubsdell] “there is a built-in transition and I have already mentioned it. It’s the Fade Behavior.”
Quote “none defined as such“. Even that is called a behaviour, not a transition. One you can obviously use as a transition, sure. Just as you can use AE’s effects as such, as I described. But again, semantics.

[Simon Ubsdell] “transitions in the fullest sense of the term.”
Not in the NLE sense so, no, not in “the fullest sense”. They are effects that can be used as transitions, yes. An NLE (the context/comparison I’m assuming he’s referencing) clearly understands those two things as something entirely different and are also applied and utilised differently. AE simply has a pre-selection of effects that work well as transitions if you like and set them up accordingly.
But little point in arguing semantics. There are none defined as such in Motion (though there are plenty effects that could serve the exact same purpose) and I don’t see them showing up in that sense any time soon. But who knows. There’s always the aforementioned feedback page.
And great to know there’s a version of PixelConduit working with the most current versions of Motion and X… I thought it had died with Motion 3 or 4! Nice.

[Morten Slemdal] “duplicate the bezier, and use the keyframes for the camera movement. Then make it a little bit offset, to see the arrow progression on the map. But that`s maybe what you actually suggests”
That was my suggestion, yes. But either way I’d say you’re most likely biting off way more than you can chew if you’re not yet that experienced with Motion. In which case the task would be fairly easy. But still fiddly to get it to look good. You might not want to overdo it until you’re actually comfortable with Motion.

[Simon Ubsdell] “who give you the option of Transitions in After Effects”
But even those aren’t “transitions” in the classic sense, they’re just called that. They’re simply a pre-fab effect i.e. alpha masks/wipes of sorts, so you’re still doing more compositing than any type of “transitioning”. They don’t even animate themselves. And you could do the exact same in Motion, just maybe not always quite as “one-click”. Be it with 3rd party transitions, masks etc. or anything from the library which is full of stuff to use.
Since there is no relational connection between layers (such as in an NLE) there’s no way of making transitions in that sense. So you’re back to square one. Animating single layers i.e. compositing. You’re just calling it a different name.

[Craig Alan] “What am I missing?”
You’re referring to what exactly?

[Bret Williams] “the few long format gop formats it did support, didn’t get clipped to handles.”
You remember correctly. And that’s my guess why it hasn’t been (and most likely never will be) implemented. Since I’m guessing the vast majority of media nowadays will be Long GOP of sorts and FCP understands them natively (unlike 7). They are therefore “untrimmable” and that would only confuse things if the option were available (especially for novice users) and then didn’t actually work after all because of it. And even if it did, it would take an inordinate amount of time to actually do it with that kind of footage. So I see no advantage outside of maybe a few exceptions with very small projects. But if they’re small, why even bother? 🙂
[Craig Alan] “there is no great need to archive unused media.”
You can of course simply filter the event by “Unused”, select all and ⌘-DELETE. Same result, less steps.
