Q: How do you send a clip to Motion and back?

I've done a search on the internet and I don't see a simple answer!

I've filmed some stuff which is shaky so I want to do this:

Take the edited clip
Put it in Motion
Stabilize it
Bring it back to FCPX exactly where it is in the timeline

How are you guys doing this? My process of exporting/importing seems very laborious!

Right click a clip or marked portion of it...

When you are finished in Motion, save the project in the same place as your other footage. It should replace the clip on your Timeline automatically.

One of the limitations of FCPX and Motion 5 is you cannot round-trip between the two with the workflow you decribe. Of course, you can export a file and import that into Motion5 (or earlier versions), stabilize and re-import.
