Why can I no longer export alpha channels in the new FCPX update (10.0.6)?

While the new update is rich with new goodies- I am having some issues doing some things.  My main concern is the inability to export alpha channels in the 10.0.6 updated version of FCPX.
I followed the following steps, same as before the update.
I used the Keying effect to remove the greenscreen and did some cleanup using the "sample color" refining tool.
I cropped and resized the clip so that the actor is the correct size for my clip.
Now it looks great in FCPX, except that I now need to put that footage into Motion 5 and do some motion tracking and match move.
I export the keyed clip as Apple Pro Res 4444
Now when I import that file into Motion 5 everything that is supposed to be transparant is black! 
Is there an additional setting in the new version that I need to fix in order to export alphas?  Is there a new way to do it?
I am operating Mountain Lion, OSX Version 10.8.2 with a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor. 
Thank you so much!  This is a key element in almost all the projects I do and now I am stuck!

You got me curious so had to test and validate some of the above, forgive me if I go a little OT in the process.
Have you set your background to checkerboard, I find psycologically this makes a difference, though in exporting it does not...
screen grab below, from 422 timeline, showing original, exported 444 and then imported file comp'd in and scaled down for differentiation in FCPX, note that the project render parameter is actually set to 422 NOT 444 as fox_m suggested, it still works.
This one below shows the above scenario exported 444, with background set to black in pref's, note the overlap showing transparency, again in FCPX. This is purely to illustrate that the checkerboard and black backgrounds are not relevant, only that the 444 on export is relevant.
Hopefully this illustrates that cropping and 444 exports are working.

  • Why can I no longer download/buy tunes from the store since downloading iOS8?k

    Why hy can I no longer download/buy songs from the store since downloading iOS8?

    You could try the following and see if they then download :
    - log out of your account by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Music tab in the iTunes Store app and then log back in
    - disconnect and reconnect to your network (Settings > Wi-Fi)
    - close the iTunes Store app via the iPad's taskbar and then re-open it
    - soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why can I no longer export images in Numbers to Excel?

    Numbers 3.2.2
    MacBook Air 1.3GHz i5; Memory 4Gb 1600MHz DDR3
    OS X updated 24 September 2014
    In previous versions I have been able to export images within the Numbers file to and  Excel file.  I was able to do this up to three weeks ago!
    Now when I export to Excel the Images are being removed.  This is extremely inconvenient as I use this product to generate reports to my executives across Asia and this is no longer possible with this product.  Every other member uses Excel for this report and I am not on the outside, unable to participate fully in the conversations or modifications to critical performance reports!
    Would you please advise how I can now continue to use Numbers to:
         a.  Generate this report type
         b.  Review reports provided to me
         c.  Update and return reports provided for review and contributions?
    Thank you

    Dean,
    1) I suggest if your job depends on a particular tool you that tool.  My suggestion is to purchase Excel and use the same tool as everyone else.  For times then you need not share with other use Excel.
    2)  I dropped an image in a Numbers file then exported to excel using the menu item "File > Export To > Excel..." then opened the file in LibreOffice (a free office clone).  That worked fine.  So I cannot confirm your reported problem.  Can you share what version of Numbers you are using?  Have you tried restarting your computer? What about have your tried a simple test where you create a new document, then drop a picture into that file and then export to excel?  Maybe the document you are using is corrupt.

  • Why can't I resize a text box in the new Preview in Yosemite?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite, and I am having trouble with the new Preview.  I am a student and my notes are pdfs.  I have been using Preview to take notes on the pdfs for the past two years.  I have always been able to insert a text box, make it a certain size (resizing it using the text box function and dragging the corners/sides to fit the space in which I want to type), and type easily.  In the new Yosemite Preview, I can insert a text box, but I can only resize it horizontally (not diagonally or vertically), and when the text reaches the right edge of my box, it moves upwards instead of continuing the text downwards (the entire box shifts up so that my typing line is in the same position as where I started and the previous text is now above).  Is there any way to get around this?  I really don't want to purchase software just to be able to easily add text to a pdf.

    I find it annoying too. Also, when you want to add text, you always need to open the title bar and then to text box always goes in the middle of the document. The only way I found to get over that issue was to ask my friend to put Preview 7.0 on a USB key (he is still on Mavericks) and then I dragged it in my application folder. It works for some PDFs but not for all of them unfortunatelly...

  • Why can't I access my Zotero database on the new FF version?

    Hi,
    I downloaded the new version of Firefox and it update my Zotero. However, I can't access the interface of Zotero now. It used to sit on the right side of the browser. Oddly, it is integrated with my MS word, and I can keep import citation to it from sites and databases.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Why can I no longer find my podcast under the keywords in my feed?

    We're having problems with our podcast showing up on itunes. A few weeks ago, our podcast just stopped appearing under the proper keyword searches. Our podcast is called Sequence Break XIV and out itunes url is: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sequence-break-xiv/id455566304
    The keywords you should commonly be able to find us under are FFXIV, Final Fantasy XIV, and Final Fantasy. Not only is our podcast no longer under those search terms, but almost every podcast that used to be under the search term "FFXIV" has disappeared except for two.  It really just looks like something is buggy here. When you first search for "FFXIV" for example, the screen that pops up shows all the different media you can look under. The "Podcasts" section shows a preview of three podcasts. Yet when you click on the podcasts section, only 2 podcasts show up. So something is wrong here.
    Our feed can be found at http://zantetsuken.net/feed/podcast
    We haven't changed the feed details at all besides episode updates. We really need to know what's going on ASAP. Although our podcast comes up when you search for things like Sequence Break XIV or SBXIV, or terms that specifically deal with our podcast, the most important terms that I mentioned earlier (FFXIV, Final Fantasy XIV, and Final Fantasy) don't show us at all. It only seems to affect the most popular and most important search terms. But all those terms are in the keyword field are on our feed. New listeners interested in Final Fantasy XIV won't be able to find us this way.

    I still can't see it. I had two other people try to look it up and they can't see it as well. This has been tried in WIndows 7 and Mac OSX. Both with fully updated iTunes applications. I'm also worried about the other keywords associated with my podcast not bringing it up either. Searching FFXIV only brings up the first two podcasts for me. Searching Final Fantasy XIV brings up a ton of podcasts, but ours isn't listed. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing when I search for FFXIV.

  • Why can't I get my ip4 2 recognize the new computer name?

    Why am i unable to Wi Fi sync with iTunes after I have connected to iTunes on my computer using a cable, clicking "Sync with the iPhone over Wi Fi? When I click "Sync Now, my IP4 states, "It will resume when "computer a" is available.  My computer's name is no longer "a" it is "computer c."

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    When you're swapping out chargers, make sure you're using an iPad charger. It is different from an iPhone one (iPhone chargers put out about half the power)
    Charging via USB will likley tell you that it's not charging because most USB's put out a fraction of the power that the iPad wants, so it says not charging.
    ALso try different outlets and cables if you have them
    If you go through all that and still can't get it to charge then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it.

  • Why can I not flag an e-mail in the new iOS6?

    Seriously, can we only mark a message as unread?  I was already having problems with my iPhone4S not showing flagged messages on my iMac, but the fact that I can't even flag a message on iOS6 is a further step backwards!

    I think it depends on the type of mail provider you have configured.  I have a standard Gmail and flagging works (flag and mark unread).  I also have another Gmail account set up as an Exchange provider so that I could receive push notifications and the only option for that provider is "Mark as Unread".  I know that this has changed since iOS5 and it's annoying.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.
