DESCRIPTION

Motion is a fast and powerful program to get things to move. (And, it’s the underlying effects engine for Final Cut Pro X.) In fact, Motion can be used to create motion graphics for any editing application — Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Apple Final Cut Pro X. But, many editors can’t figure out how it works.

This session starts at the very beginning and explains everything you need to know to get started animating text and moving graphics in Motion 5.

Join host, Larry Jordan, as he defines key Motion terms, then illustrates how to:

• Create a new Motion project
• Move around the interface
• Review and use elements in the Motion library
• Get elements to move using behaviors
• Use the HUD or the Inspector
• Change the look of elements using filters
• Organize a project
• Create and animate text
• Export files for Avid, Premiere or Final Cut Pro X
