Motion and FCP WORKFLOW Issues!

[Eatsnax]

Okay the problem I have is this...

1. I will export a clip in my timeline in FCP. I'll export using "Current Settings". My settings for my project is Apple Pro Res NTSC (HQ) 720X480.

2. I open the clip in Motion 3. Then when I export back to a Pro Res NTSC (HQ) codec Quicktime file. The same file as I sent to Motion. It looks like crap!!!

The footage ends up having jagged edges threw out. I mean it looks like total crapollla. What should I do? I've tried using many different settings and codec and the result is always the same. The footage looks horrible on it's way out of Motion. :crybaby:

i dont know why its doing that but maybe try this workflow instead. select the clip you want to take into motion and go file/send to/new motion project. this opens up your clip in motion and replaces the clip in fcp with a motion project file. do your thing in motion, save and close. then go back to fcp and render. this method is cool because this new motion project is dynamic. you can always go reopen the file in motion and make changes. fcp will update the clip automatically every time you edit and save the motion project.
