This session is Part 4 in our 6-part series on using Apple Motion 5.3. This week, we look at particles, replicators and parameter behaviors.

Whether you are new to Motion or want to get deeper and more fluid with the application, this series is designed for you. Here’s what we plan to cover:

• Define Particles, Replicators and Parameter Behaviors
• Explore existing particle emitters
• Create and modify a new particle system
• Explore existing replicators
• Create and modify a new replicator
• Lots and lots of demos

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This intermediate session is designed for new and existing users of Apple Motion. New users will benefit from an in-depth understanding of the software. Existing users will benefit from learning how the interface has changed and new techniques to create motion graphics.
