TRAINING DESCRIPTION

Apple Motion intimidates a lot of editors, but it shouldn’t. We can use Motion to easily create fascinating effects without requiring the programming skills of a rocket scientist or the design skills of a graphic artist. In fact, creating motion graphics to add life to your projects is pretty simple; if you know how.

In this video training, watch host, Larry Jordan, show you how to make things move in Motion. You’ll learn how to animate a dotted line to, say, follow a path on a map. Motion track graphics to move with an object in the frame. Discover the power of simulators and much, much more.

You’ll also learn how to create effects templates in Motion that you can use every day to add energy and interest to your Final Cut Pro X projects. Templates which you can use again and again to save time in a fast-paced edit. This session helps you quickly get started creating motion graphics that “make things move.”

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This intermediate-level webinar is designed for editors who want to learn more about Apple Motion. (For an introduction to Motion view this webinar first. This video training plays as a QuickTime movie. You don’t need to own any other software to watch this training.)

BONUS FEATURE!

To help you quickly find the information you need, we also included chapter markers in the QuickTime movie for easy navigation. Click here to learn how to display them in your download.
