[John Heagy] "Agreed... Much of Motion will be integrated into FCPX. If people can do basic motion graphics work without leaving FCP, ala Discreet, that is all Apple can do to ward off AE. Motion will never be AE, so make it work inside FCPX where it can help do basic stuff that can't be done in FCP7's horrific effects GUI."
Actually, I think they are quite happy to concede this segment of the market to Autodesk Smoke for Mac. Keep the behavioral stuff from Motion and build it into FCP X. Want more? Buy Smoke. Right now they have a good synergy and the companies have a good working relationship.
