It probably looks un-natural because it is not easing in and out of the rotation. Select your object in the timeline and then go to the Keyframe Editor. Select the Keyframes and right click on one and choose Interpolation – Bezier. Hope this helps and best of luck.

This should not be a problem. As for a work around and not a solution, have you tried exporting out the project and then importing the exported movie into FCP?

Mark is right, Keyframes work great for that. If you want to use a behavior to make an object Scale down and then come to a nice gentle halt, the one you are after is the “Move” behavior. Change it’s Z position (in 2D) and it will give the appearance of scaling up or down. When you want it to stop end the length of the behavior.
Check out this example, this is taught in chapter 3.2 of my Moving with Motion training DVD, everything is being animated by a behavior in the video. Notice how the brown ring comes to a nice gentle stop once it scales down.
Hope this helps and best of luck.

Anthony,
Mark an in and out point on the time line of the keyed footage in FCP. Make sure the clip is not rendered. Rendering will make it so it generates a black background of your keyed footage when you export it. Then go up to File, Export, Using QuickTime conversion… Make sure the Format is QuickTime Movie. Click on the Options Button. This will open up a Movie Settings menu. Click on Settings. Choose Animation for the Compression Type. Make sure the Depth is set to Millions of Colors +. The + is the alpha channel. Click on OK. Then click on OK in the Movie Settings window. Choose a location and then export out the clip. Import the clip into Motion and you have a keyed clip with the alpha channel. Hope this helps and best of luck.Check out my Motion Training DVD

In order to get objects to react to audio you need to use the Parameter Behavior called Audio. A short cut, for example, If you want the scale to animate right click on Scale in the Properties section and choose Audio. If you look at the Audio Behavior in the Behaviors tab you will see the “Apply To” section is linked to the Scale. Hope this helps and best of luck.

[Jeffrey] Stephen, The YP ad I use is only $125 a month, but I’d rather put that money into Google Adwords. If even one person in the past three years of any value called me due to the YP, I wouldn’t even consider not renewing.
$125 a month, oh my…that is a lot of money. That is $1,500 a year. I would put that money into a SEO person to help bust your search engine ratings. (If your site needs it) The guy I use is great.

Mark,
In the Filters section, click on the “Click to Edit” button so you can get into ProAnimator’s interface. Then click on “Object”. Click on “Import 3D Model…”To get the list of acceptable files I clicked on Enable and it showed the list I posted above.
