I wonder if it's possible to cast a shadow on an alpha channel in Motion, as opposed to casting a shadow on an existing object? This would be useful for creating a template for an animated 3D logo (where a shadow is cast on the video itself) that could be used as a FCP generator instead of having to place a video file in the background and rendering a new project every time I want to use the animated logo.
Cast shadows on an alpha channel in Motion 5?

Alpha channels don't have to be complete transparencies, so there's no problem doing this. You take your object, put in a shadow, and then render with transparency.
