DESCRIPTION
Apple invented Motion to make creating motion graphics easy. Except, well, Motion just plain intimidates a lot of folks. So, this video training provides a cookbook approach to creating motion graphics. In fact, there are so many tips, techniques, and just plain cool tricks in this video, that it is almost impossible to list — Larry’s outline for this session ran more than seven pages!
Join master trainer, Larry Jordan, as he walks you through what you need to know to create killer effects in Motion easily, quickly, and painlessly.
Specifically, you will learn:
- How Motion uses your computer’s system resources
- Key keyboard shortcuts that make Motion work faster
- How to customize and optimize preference settings
- How to get objects to move
- How to draw shapes
- How to put video inside text
- How to create, adjust and animate masks
- How to create chroma-keys
- And much more.
Audience Level
