Motion files to Premiere or AE

[Clarkcrest]

Just downloaded a way cool editable template from MotionVFX.  But can't seem to open it in either AE or Premiere.  Looking up file extensions, the template appears to be for Final Cut Pro X (FCPX).  I've downloaded from this site before and not had an issue.  Is there a way to use these files in AE or Premiere?  Or is there a plug in that will let adobe read FCPX files like .moti, .motr, .motn??

Hi Clarkcrest,

I see you're having trouble importing an Apple Motion project into Premiere Pro or After Effects. There's no native way to do that, you need a plug-in from my buddies at Intelligent Assistance: XtoCC

That will work for you.

Thanks!
Kevin

Thanks... What's the plug it called?

Hi Clarkcrest,

XtoCC.

Cheers,

Kevin

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure XtoCC won't help here. If you downloaded a Motion template (files that end in .moti/r/n), it can't be converted by XtoCC. XtoCC only converts .fcpxml project files exported out of FCPX. But even if you dropped a Motion template clip in an FCPX timeline  and exported the .fcpxml file, it wouldn't work to translate the Motion file. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Looking at Kevin's post and the $49 XtoCC software it looked as if I had to have a version of FCP to make it work; I don't have FCP.  I have only CC products.  Jason's post makes more sense.  So I purchased FCP template that I can't use then?  And not conversion possibilities?

[jasontcox]

Yes, unfortunately, there isn't a way to get current AE templates/project files over to After Effects in any realistic way, unfortunately. Sorry!

[Kevin-Monahan]

You're correct, Jason. I just talked to Philip. It's a no go.

Thanks,
Kevin

So I purchased FCP template

Seems a caveat emptor situation.
