Actually, you need to export them as PNG images, not tiffs. They go to a new folder, in order, so you simply select all of them and import them into a new bin (in Final Cut). Once imported into Final Cut, select them all again and drop them into the timeline. You can then nest that sequence into any timeline you want, where it can be edited, etc., or you can export it to Quicktime to create a self-contained movie. Works perfectly for me, every time, and I've used it with very long animation. Better yet, if your computer should freeze or otherwise blip at any point in the rendering process, you can restart from the last frame, rather than having to go back and start all over. That alone makes it superior to any other technique. And no, using a black background and then trying to key it out doesn't work - the keying picks up too many edges and shadows, no matter what. Not sure what they did in the tut. SS
