no Output option, what the…..
I hope that can’t be right. Has the Output option been moved?

Yes you can export out a movie and bring it into FCP. The reason I like to bring a Motion project file into FCP and treat it like a clip is because if I need to make a change I can just right click on the Motion file in FCP and choose open in editor. Plus I don’t end up with a ton of exported movies. I don’t always get everything the way I like it in the first go around.
As for what Motion 5 has that Motion 4 doesn’t. Motion 5 can do 64 bit which will speed everything up so you can use your computers power to the fullest…where as Motion 4 puts a governor on it. Motion 5 has a new keyer that I have not played with so I’m not sure about how good it is. It also has a new Parameter Rig. Motion 5 sends files to FCPX with more options. And that is about it.
Do you own a copy of FCS3 yet? Because they don’t sell it anymore.

You can have both Motion 4 & 5 on your machine. You cannot import a Motion 5 project file into FCP7. You can not send content from FCP7 to Motion 5. (if you are creating a project from scratch directly in Motion this is not a big deal) You would have to send it to Motion 4 and then close Motion 4 and then open that project in Motion 5. I feel one of the key features of Motion is the ability to bring a Motion project file into FCP and work with it…With Motion 5 and no FCPX kiss that goodbye.

We have owned Google Earth Pro for a couple of years. I have not played with it but the editor here who did said it was not easy to do a zoom and it looked real choppy. Certain satellite photos look cleaner then others. So we ended up gabbing still photos from varying distances and did the animation ourselves. Keep in mind we last looked at its ability to zoom two years ago and I hope it has gotten better.

As Jay mentioned, you can no longer round trip if you have FCPX. I feel that is…I mean was a really strong feature and used it daily. Doing a Round Trip is what got me to start playing with Motion and saved me so much time I started using AE less and less. But that is one of the many problems with FCPX.

Check out the Color Reduce Filter and take a look at this blog post on an example of Motion being used in the real world.

Doing the replicating text thing and really bog down your system. I would take a look at Zaxwerk’s ProAnimator FX for Motion. I think it is Awesome.

You can open M4 projects in M5, I haven’t tested any others but I can’t see why you couldn’t. Yes you can treat M5 like a stand alone project if you want.
