Re: Final Cut / Motion roundtripping

Hey Robert, thanks for the input, and yeah that workflow is great when I can create something stand-alone and drop it in. I love being able to save a Motion project and then just drop it into FCP and go.

Problem is, I'm more accustomed to editing along, getting pacing and shots down, selecting source material, and then working on compositing or graphics once I have a good idea of what's going on around it.

I'd really rather not have to export all the tracks that will be referenced and rebuild that section of my sequence in Motion before I can get down to the fun stuff. And if I decide to change a source clip or timing of the utilized clips, it starts to get ugly.

I was hoping there's something I've missed when using 'Send To Motion' that would allow me to keep my sequence intact.

Thanks!
