Hello,
I've created a couple of transitions in Motion that I've published to FCPX. For whatever reason, when I go to add the transition, it always defaults to be really short - like less than a second - regardless of how long I made the transition in Motion. Is this something that I can change on FCPX's end? Is it something I'm doing wrong when publishing the transition from Motion?
Thanks,
-Tom
There is a setting in Motion. Select the Project Layer then in the Inspector > Properties, you will find an option to Override FCP Duration. That will force your Motion transition template to attempt to apply itself at exactly the length you designed it for. It works as long as there is enough media on both sides to accommodate it, otherwise, it will default to "best fit".
This option also overrides your FCPX preference for transition length.

Do the clips have Media Handles long enough for your desired duration?

Hey Alchroma,
Yeah they do. I'm able to grow or shrink the transition to whatever my desired timing is, but it always defaults to much faster than I made it in Motion.
Thanks,

What is the transition preference in FCP?
Awesome! Thank you so much for the reply!
