Jul 13, 2016 6:41 AM in response to BenBby mikenite,★HelpfulYes, with a color everything is ok, but I'm using the "blobs" generator.

Jul 13, 2016 6:41 AM in response to mikeniteby Luis Sequeira1,★HelpfulSome transitions affect the clips below, some don't.
The generally recommended solution to this is to enclose the clips above and the transition in a compound clip.

Jul 13, 2016 6:41 AM in response to Luis Sequeira1by mikenite,Yes, I noticed, this is kind of a big problem, if you use Keynote you can add something over a background and add effects and it works fine, rather strange that it can't be done i FCP X.

It can, like I wrote before.
I went and tried this clothesline transition, which I had never used it before.
In my mac, I don't see it affecting the background clip at all.
Could you post a screenshot of your timeline at the place you are applying this transition?

Jul 13, 2016 7:31 AM in response to Luis Sequeira1by Tom Wolsky,It seems to effect the background layer if it's an animated generator.

Jul 13, 2016 7:41 AM in response to mikeniteby Tom Wolsky,You could probably fix this by opening a copy in Motion. I can fix it so that it works as an outgoing transition the way you would like, but I don't know enough to fix it as an incoming transition. I'm sure someone with even a little more proficiency than I could do it.

I tried it over the "clouds" and the "blobs" generators, and I don't have it affecting them.

Jul 13, 2016 8:16 AM in response to Tom Wolskyby mikenite,Yes, that seems to be the problem, the picture that swings in is smaller in scale (still picture.) I've removed that effect now since it didn't look good, I tried to use lens flare also and what happens is the generator disappear completly during the transition and then comes back… so thats my next problem...

Jul 13, 2016 8:49 AM in response to Luis Sequeira1by Luis Sequeira1,Ok, now I see it. In my example above, the generator is connected below the primary. If instead the generator in the primary and the transition is in a storyline above, then I see what you see.
I confirm that the compound clip approach does solve it. It may be moot now, but still.

Jul 13, 2016 8:53 AM in response to Luis Sequeira1by Tom Wolsky,It actually swings out the lower layer and another appears underneath. Can't see how you're getting it without that.
Figured out how to fix it in Motion, but it needs two different transitions, one for the incoming transition and one for the outgoing. For the incoming transition, to bring the still onto the screen, switch off the green layer in Motion. For the outgoing transition, switch off the red layer. Two separate transitions.

There may be more fixing to do in absolutely right in terms of timing, but a very quick way in Motion to turn this into an incoming only transition is to delete (or merely disable) "Transition A" from there.
(Likewise delete or disable "Transition B" for an outgoing transition).
I can confirm that making this change also fixes the original issue.
Edit: of course, you had already figured that out . Beat me by one minute!
