When sending a clip I have originated in Motion (as opposed to round-tripping from FCP, I have been exporting the clip as a quicktime movie then importing the file into the project media and bringing it onto the timeline. Is this the best way to work, or is there an easier way to inport Motion projects to FCP?

If it is, Motion defaults to the 'animation' codec. I have been changing to the codec I am using for the FCP project (normally one of the XDCAM EX ones). Does this make sense or are there advantages to the animation codec?

Thanks for your help, Nick
