What is Motion?
Motion is a behavior-driven motion graphics application used to create stunning imaging eects
in real time for a wide variety of broadcast, video, and lm projects.
In Motion, you can:
•
Create sophisticated animations on the y using any of more than 200 built-in motion and
simulation behaviors, such as Spin, Throw, or Orbit, which allow you to add dynamic motion to
your projects in real time, with no preview rendering time necessary.
•
Build complex visual eects using one or more of nearly 300 lters such as Glow, Strobe, or
Bleach Bypass.
•
Animate the traditional way, using keyframes and modiable curves, to create precise
timing eects.
•
Create polished text eects, from the simple (lower-thirds and credit rolls) to the complex (3D
titles, animated eects, sequencing text).
•
Create custom eect, transition, title, and generator templates for automatic export to
Final Cut Pro X. You can also modify the eects, transitions, titles, and generators that ship with
Final Cut Pro.
•
Use rigging to map multiple parameters to a single Inspector control (for example, a slider
that simultaneously manipulates size, color, and rotation of text) in Motion compositions or in
templates exported to Final Cut Pro X.
•
Build compositions by selecting from royalty-free content, such as vector artwork, animated
design elements, and high-resolution images.
•
Retime footage to create high-quality slow- or fast-motion eects.
