Keying options for Motion 3
Using Primatte Keyer Pro To Bypass After Effects

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. ...Read More »

Motion Quick Tip 3: Particles on a Motion Path
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.

Can we do it, once again, without any keyframing? Why, yes, we can. ...Read More »

Motion Quick Tip 1: Motion Paths
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. ...Read More »
