Stephen smith, the problem with what you said is that Motion 5 cannot export to an animation.
AJ, re-read what I wrote. I never wrote that Motion 5 exports the Animation codec. Motion 4 can do Animation and ProRess 4444 set to Millions +. That is one of the many reasons I nuked Motion 5 from my machine 30 minutes after I installed it. But as you have learned. Motion 5 can still do ProRes 4444 which I said it could.

Plus, from Motion, there is no option to chose for Millions of colors +
I don't have Motion 5, but if there is a transparent Alpha channel then it is set to Million of color +. Click on the Advanced button and then you will get an option to change its depth. You can have an Animation or ProRes 4444 clip with out a transparency if you wanted to.
I'm happy to help and best of luck.

Also, for users who don't have FCP like me or want to put up keyed footage for others to use, you want to be able to export with a trans BKG.
Once again, re-read what I wrote. I gave you two options...not one. I never said you shouldn't export out a clip, other wise I would have never told you how to do it.
