What is the best way to bring in a photoshop file in to FCP and keep layers and transparency?

Well if you have a psd with all the layers you can just bring it right in. if you put it in the timeline u can double click it to step into the layers just like a nest

But it appears the glow and drop shadow is not there.

In photoshop view only the layer with the drop shadow or glow. Merge visible. Then turn on other layers and resave.

Thanks, we will give it a try. Does it work better to bring in as a transparent PNG file? Are there advantages to either one?

I have used both ways successfully. If I ask gfx department for pngs its usually b/c they couldn't get the psd to work right and I'm sick of trying :)

What Brian says. FCP will not read the PS effects, you have to flatten those first.

[Jeremy Garchow] "FCP will not read the PS effects, you have to flatten those first."
Or you can convert your layers that have layers styles into smart objects in photoshop. In PS right click on the layer and select "convert to smart object". This way you can import your PS into FCP but it still leaves the Layer editable.
