[Dave Montague] Apple needs to put Motion back into beta. It’s buggy software at best. Anyone wanting to know, Adobe After Effects is proven and Motion is experimental. Don’t use it unless you are working on something you don’t care about.
I’ve used Motion on hundreds of projects with very little problems. A matter of fact, a lot of them I completed faster in Motion then I would have if I used AE. I’m not sure why you created a 38 minute long movie. Motion works best if you break your projects into pieces. I would leave the editing to FCP and the Motion Graphics to Motion.
