4 Click Save.
A new Motion project is created. If you selected the Launch Motion option, the new
project opens in Motion. For more information about the results of sending different
kinds of selections to Motion, see the following sections.
Sending Browser Clips from Final Cut Pro to Motion
When you send Browser clips from Final Cut Pro to Motion, a new Motion project is created
with an empty Timeline and the media from each selected Final Cut Pro clip displayed in
the Motion Media tab. Use this method to quickly import media from Final Cut Pro into
an empty Motion project.
Sending a Sequence from Final Cut Pro to Motion
You can send an entire sequence, including all of its video tracks and their sequence clips,
to a Timeline in a new Motion project. Use this method to edit one or more layers in
Final Cut Pro and then add effects, animation, or text in Motion.
Sending Selected Sequence Clips from Final Cut Pro to Motion
You can send any selection of sequence clips in Final Cut Pro to a new Motion project.
Noncontiguous selections are allowed. For example, if you selected sequence clips A, B,
and D in Final Cut Pro, but you skipped clip C, the Motion Timeline would also contain
media from clips A, B, and D with a gap where clip C was located.
When you send sequence clips to Motion, several things happen:
• Final Cut Pro automatically creates a new sequence containing only the clips you
selected. You can verify that there is a new sequence by looking in the Browser.
• The contents of the new sequence are used to create a new Motion project.
• If you choose the Embed Motion Content option in the Export Selection to Motion
dialog, the new Motion project is imported into Final Cut Pro, creating a Motion clip in
the Browser. The selected sequence clips are replaced by the new Motion clip.
