Import Motion Files Into Adobe After Effects
Motion is a powerful animation tool on its own, but you can also add that power to your Adobe After Effects workflow. Motion has great tools like Behaviors, Particles, Replicators, and Filters that are a perfect complement to the tools that come with After Effects. It’s easy to seamlessly integrate your Motion projects with your After Effects projects. With the latest version of the software, you don’t even need to render.

Step 6: Under Format, choose QuickTime Movie. Click Open.
Step 7: The Interpret Footage dialog will appear. Select Premultiplied — Matted With Color. Make sure that the color is black.
Step 8: Click OK and your Motion project will appear in the Project window. You can now bring your Motion project into an After Effects composition.
