As the middle jumper is rotated, the virtual nest in Motion widens, but Pro Import AE
doesnʼt consider rotation when it calculates the size of the nested comp, so in After
Effects the corners of the jumper get cut off. You can easily fix this by changing the
comp settings for the nested composition.

Source Clip Markers / Locators

Markers from source clips in FCP sequences are translated into layer markers in After
Effects. Both the name and the description fields from the FCP markers are translated.

While Final Cut Pro markers have Name and Description fields, After Effects layer
markers only have one field for a name/comment. To help keep the Name and
Description fields separated, Pro Import AE inserts “[“ and “]” characters around the text
that was in the FCP marker name field.

You are limited to a total of 61 characters that can be inserted into an AE layer marker
name. Your name and description fields in your FCP source marker will be truncated if
necessary.

Sequence markers are added to a layer at the top of the comp.
