SESSION DESCRIPTION

This is the second of four sessions covering Apple Motion 5.5:

  1. Introduction to Apple Motion 5.5
  2. Advanced Techniques of Apple Motion 5.5
  3. Lighting Techniques of Apple Motion 5.5
  4. Cameras, Sets & Drop Zones in Apple Motion 5.5

 
Last week, in Webinar 304, we presented an introduction to Apple Motion 5.5 by creating four different projects to illustrate how to use basic tools in Motion. This week, Larry Jordan illustrates more advanced features of Motion by creating four different projects:

  • Animated Background
  • Animating Objects & Text on Curves
  • Simulations
  • Chroma-keys, Replicators and Cast Shadows

As we create these projects, you’ll also learn:

  • Paths
  • Shape Styles
  • Behavior & keyframe animation
  • Particle Emitters
  • And a deeper exploration of the Motion Library

This session unlocks the creative tools you need to design visually compelling, moving elements using Apple Motion. Plus, this stuff is fun!

AUDIENCE DESCRIPTION

This is an intermediate-level session. Some knowledge of Motion will be helpful. (Webinar 304 is a great place to start.)
