Keying options for Motion 3 By David Basulto
Recently I had a project that had a ton of green screen shots in it. I edited in Final Cut Pro and really wanted to see if doing all the work in Final Cut Studio was doable for me because I am so used to exporting to After Effects to do all my keying. This time I would bring the footage into Motion.

Baking in Motion 3 By David Basulto
It is time to bake groups in Motion 3. When you ?bake? in Motion 3 you are essentially rendering files that you may be done with in your layers. Since Motion 3 projects can be very deep with layers consisting of effects, particles, filters, video and more, baking will help you save on CPU speed and memory. Baking will make all of us who crave our CPU speed much happier.

Make Your Projects "DANCE" With Motion 3's Audio Behaviors By Kevin McAuliffe
I've been an editor/motion graphics artist/compositor for a long time, and when I started out, I performed just one job, that of editor. I jumped into After Effects at version 3.1 (yes, that long ago!), and I primarily started using it because there were things that After Effects could do that the Media Composer could not do (obviously).

Adding and Animating Text in Motion 3 By David Basulto
The more I use Apple?s Motion 3 the more I enjoy its powers. I just completed a Motion 3 project that required some information displayed in text. With a few clicks I was able to produce some really fun animations. From the customization ability Motion 3 offers to the application?s constant dynamic updating make this one program to look into for amazing text animations.

Motion Quick Tip 3: Particles on a Motion Path By Dave Nagel
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.

Motion Quick Tip 2: More on Motion Paths By Dave Nagel
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.

Motion Quick Tip 1: Motion Paths By Dave Nagel
In Apple Motion 2, the simplest and quickest way to create a simple animation is through the use of motion paths. Say, for example, that you need to move an object over a background to show a start point and an end point, with a bit of meandering along the way. You don't want to keyframe every single curve because this can take a considerable amount of time and effort. So, instead, you'll just use a Motion Path behavior to guide your object over the duration of your sequence.

Layer Scale in Apple Motion 2 By Dave Nagel
In Apple Motion, by default, the size of a layer is determined by its contents. So its dimensions can change based on what's happening to the objects it contains. If you blur an object, for example, this will cause the layer to grow. And this can lead to some unpredictable results in your composition, such as jittery movement or improper alignment of elements.

On this Veteran's Day 2009, as we honor those who served and gave their lives for America, there are stories about man's best friend being told by those who fought alongside their "War Dogs of the Pacific." Most Americans have no idea that dogs were trained to sniff out the enemy during World War II, 549 to be exact fought with the U.S. Marines on Guam, Saipan, and other battlegrounds of the Pacific Theater.
