Fcpx to motion 5 workflow, best approach?
My pre-FCPX way was:
* edit my video in FCP
* use Send to Motion for the pieces that need additional f/x and animations
I understand the lack of Rountripping now. I cannot use the workflow of importing the original clip into motion because I only want to add animations and f/x to my final edit.
My questions: (and I am still a video newbie)
* Should I export my entire FCPX-edited movie and then bring it into Motion 5 to add the animations/composites/f/x and have Motion be the final step?
* If so, is there a specific export setting that I should use?
* OR... Can I export certain pieces of my in-progress FCPX movie into Motion 5, then export them back out and bring them BACK into FCPX? (seems extremely cumbersome!) and if so, am I losing information with each generation of export?
* I guess my overall question is HOW do you go back and forth now between Motion 5 and FCPx with the least amount of degradation? Assume that I do not want to use the new rigging/publishing features because I am doing one-off custom animations and motion-matching over video clips, as opposed to creating templates, transitions, etc.
And again, I am new to this so I don't know or understand all of the terminology related to intermediate codecs, prores etc.
