Any way to import markers with clip?

Motion doesn't seem to want to read any markers embedded in a Quicktime clip. I've tried exporting movies with Chapter, Compression and Scoring markers and choosing 'All Markers', no results.

I'd like to be able to bring in an entire sequence with all of my FCP filters applied so I can composite correctly into my pre-made backgrounds, which rules out a 'Send' command since the filters don't transfer. But I need to see where the cut points are between clips in the exported sequence when I bring it into Motion. Any ideas?

Why can't you see your cut points in Motion? If you open the Timeline you should be able to see them all. Select a clip and press Shift-I to go to the clip's In point or Shift-O to go to its Out point.

I'm importing a Quicktime movie from FCP, not a timeline. I want to be able to mark that movie when I export it so that I can see where the cut points *were* in the original timeline because I have to alter the background graphics to match the shot changes. If I can't get markers to import I'll either have to eyeball it or else export each clip individually and line them up again in Motion, total pain.

Again, why not send the clips from FCP to Motion?

Because I want to be able to see the filters I applied in FCP.

If I color-correct to say, brighten a green screen but I'm doing the keying in Motion, I can't send the clip because the filter doesn't come across. Same with other filters that I have in FCP (and don't work in Motion) like the DFT 55mm set. I'm not working with individual clips here -- I want to bring in my entire edited sequence.

Ah, yes - filters, generators, and transitions don't show up if you send them from FCP to Motion (with the sole exception of FCP's Smoothcam filter) - so normally I'd say just use Motion's filters instead, but you have the DFT 55mm set, which can't be used in Motion because they aren't fx plug.

So no, Motion won't see embedded QT markers, sorry.
