Motion title to FCPX question

Hi,
I created a title in motion where each line is a separate individual title.
This way I can position, scale etc.. each line individually.
The main reason though is so that Line 3, for example, can appear a few seconds after Line 2 appeared.
I control this with the 'Start Offset' parameter from the 'fade in fade out' behavior.

The question is this..
I also want to add the Slide In behavior (or any other ones for that matter).
But The slide In behavior needs to start after the title has faded in (with the fade in fade out behavior).
In motion you can easily do this by moving the behavior in its timeline.
But there is no way to know where this would be moved once in FCPX.
So How do I get the Slide In behavior to work after I have set the fade In behavior inside of FCPX.?

I attached the title so you can see what i mean..

One side note, when creating multiple line titles in motion, then putting it in FCP, It renders much faster than the same amount of individual titles in FCPX... This title i made has 5 individual lines but renders as fast as if there was one line. If i added 5 titles in FCPX to get the same amount of lines, it is around 5X times more to render.. No Idea why that is..

Thanks!
Kurt

There's no way for a Motion template title to know when an effect or transition has been applied in Final Cut Pro. That is, when you add a title to a timeline in Final Cut and add a transition to the title - the behaviours and filters applied within the title are rendered first, then any effects and transitions applied in Final Cut Pro are applied next.

Thanks Alex4D
Yes, this is what i am seeing.
But because the fade in fade out behavior has a set delay (using the Start offset parameter), I was thinking that the other behaviors (like slide in) would also either have this, or some how use another behavior to tell 'Slide In' when to start working (after the Fade in Fade out behavior has worked ..in this case)

Maybe I went about making the title in a wrong way, and some other approach would allow me to control when a behavior is applied (start at a particular time, controlled in FCPX).?


thanks

You can Publish some parameters of a Behavior, but you can't Publish when the Behavior actually begins and ends.
