958 Appendix C Integration With Final Cut Pro
This lets you start the arrangement of a composition in Final Cut Pro and then export
the items (with all of their compositing-related attributes) into Motion to take
advantage of the Motion specialized toolset. The file exported by Final Cut Pro is a
Motion project file.
You can also export clips to Motion from the Final Cut Pro Browser. Exporting a
sequence in the Browser creates a new Motion project containing all the elements in
the sequence. You cannot export more than one Final Cut Pro sequence at a time.
Note: The media used in the Final Cut Pro project needs to be available on the same
hard drive as the newly created Motion project file for those files to appear properly in
Motion.
To export a sequence or clip from Final Cut Pro to a Motion project:
1 Select what you want to export to Motion in one of the following ways:
• Select one or more items in the Browser. Only one of these items may be a sequence.
Note: You can export one or more clips in the Final Cut Pro Browser to Motion. The
clips in the Motion project appear in the Media tab, but not in the Timeline. Because
the timeline of the Motion project is based on the timeline of the sequence exported
from Final Cut Pro, only one sequence can be exported to a particular Motion
project.
• Select a sequence in the Browser.
• Select items in the Timeline. (The Timeline must be active.)
2 Choose File > Export > Export to Motion Project.
3 In the dialog that appears, do the following:
a Choose a name and location for the new Motion project.
b Choose the Launch Motion and the Embed Motion Content options.
c Click Save.
A new Motion project is created. Once the project has been exported, changes made in
Final Cut Pro are not reflected in the Motion project.
