You can do what Zak suggested, but don’t save it as a png then. Save it as a PSD. So you will have two PSD’s. The original one that you have made all sorts of changes to in Motion. And then another PSD with just the new layer that you want to add. Simply just import it into Motion and place it where it belongs in the other PSD. Hope this helps and best of luck.
