I made a short animated composition with 3 pictures zooming out slowly and each would page curl and go off screen. I saved it and put it in FCP X and the Page curls were gone. Any Ideas on that????
thanks, randyc
Its saved as a generator. im not sure thats right?

I think I'd need to see the Motion project itself. How did you send it to FCPX?

Im thinking i may have done this wrong. I saved it in the Generators folder.
the movement is there but not the page curl i added.

Did you stare with a Generators template in Motion?

When creating templates (effect, transitions, generators, titles) in Motion 5 from scratch, you MUST start with the project type for what you want to do. But if you already made a generic Motion project, follow these steps.

Open your already made generic Motion project.

Then create a new Motion project from the template type you need (Command-N). Let's say a "Final Cut Generator".

Back in your original project, select a layer, Command-A to select all, Command-C to copy.

Switch back to the Final Cut Generator project, select a layer, Command-A, then Command-V to paste.

Poof, you fix it!
