Hey Buck,

Well, depending on your workflow, this could be expected behaviour. If you chose the option to "Send to Motion" then FCP only sends certain properties of the clips to Motion. Time remapping, filters and transitions aren't sent. I'm guessing that's what you did.

Maybe the quickest way out of this would be to uncheck the video layers in the Layers panel in Motion and save the project. Import the .motn file into FCP and composite the Motion project in the FCP project. Make sense? Hope so.

By the way, there's a doc on Apple's site which explains the workflow options in detail. Check out http://images.apple.com/pro/pdf/Final_Cut_Studio_Workflows.pdf

Good luck. -skip.
 
yeah that is exactly what I did...damn it...lol...Good thing I still have the project in FCP. I'll read the doc, thanks for explaing!
