When I started working with Final Cut Studio 2 I have to be honest, I really wanted to use Final Cut Pro on my next film. All my compatriots kept asking ?Have you tried Motion 3?? Motion Motion Motion. "Why?" I said. "I use Adobe After Effects." They would grin and walk away.

In our previous two quick tips on Apple's Motion 2.0, we looked at methods for animating an arrow around a background to illustrate a path of movement over a geographical region. It makes sense though to include some sort of dotted line along the path to show the viewer not just where the arrow is going, but also where it's been. Can we do it, once again, without any keyframing? Why, yes, we can.

In our last quick tip on Apple's Motion 2, we looked at the basic method for using motion paths to create a simple animation. This time around, we'll expand on this to use multiple Motion Path behaviors to create stopping points along the way. And we'll see how to do this in conjunction with a modification to the duration of each Motion Path behavior. The end result: a more complex animation, but one that still requires no keyframing.

When I first reviewed the Pure Digital Flip camera back in 2007, I liked the camera for its ease of use, video quality, and portability. The video camera pretty much set the video camera world on its ears, with more than 2 million cameras sold since being introduced several years ago--so much so that Cisco Systems snatched up the company. The latest version of the camera, The Flip UltraHD coupled with the latest version of FlipShare, keeps the solution a compelling one.

There is a whole group of people who grew up on the Internet that believes everything that is out there should be free. Stewart Brand set the stage back in 1984 at the first Hacker's Conference when he said -- Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. That tension will not go away. At the end of the day an organization has to put money in the cash register so bills will be paid and people will have food/shelter. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
