TRAINING DESCRIPTION

Sometimes our webinars have a plot; but not this one. This session is more like a cookbook – a whole flock of unrelated recipes you can use to create moving text, backgrounds, foregrounds, mid-grounds – we’ve got grounds for some seriously fascinating new effects that are fast and easy to create.

Motion scares a lot of people because it does so much. But there are a lot of effects that are simple to create than can make your projects look really good. And learning how to create interesting, yet simple, effects is what this session is all about.

If you haven’t attended one Larry Jordan’s cookbook effects sessions, you are missing a treat – because he shares so many different tips, tricks, and techniques that you are guaranteed to pick up a few tips that you never knew even existed before.

This session creates six different visual effects:

• Ornamenting a clip with animated line drawings
• Motion-tracking a shape
• Motion-tracking a particle system
• Animating a Photoshop logo
• Unusual green-screen effects
• Creating a 3D animation, without using 3D space

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This intermediate-level webinar is designed for someone who has started Motion, but is trying to figure out what to do with it. (This video training plays as a QuickTime movie. You don’t need to own any other software to watch this movie.)

NOTE: If Motion 5 is new to you, we recommend starting with this webinar: Introduction to Motion 5.

BONUS FEATURE!
