Description

Designed for video editors, Motion is a powerful motion graphics tool that makes it easy to create cinematic 2D and 3D titles, fluid transitions and realistic effects in real time.

2D and 3D Titles
• Import 360° media and design 360° titles, generators and effects
• Build 3D titles from scratch, design them with easy-to-use templates or instantly convert any existing 2D title to 3D
• Easily create beautiful titles that you can animate using more than 100 drag-and-drop behaviours and intuitive text animation tools
• Customise 3D titles to create endless looks with over 90 Apple-designed 3D materials including metal, wood and stone surfaces

Motion Graphics for Final Cut Pro
• Save any title, effect, transition or generator and access it directly in Final Cut Pro
• Customise Final Cut Pro titles, effects and transitions by opening them in Motion
• Create Motion Templates with any combination of single parameters and rigs, which let you control a group of parameters with a slider, pop-up menu or checkbox in Final Cut Pro
• Use Display Aspect Ratio snapshots to create templates that support multiple aspect ratios

Stunning Effects
• Choose from more than 230 behaviours for natural animation without keyframes
• Create an accurate chroma key in a single step with the Keying filter
• Change focus points or the depth effect for video shot in Cinematic mode on iPhone (requires macOS Monterey or later)
• Design your own particle emitters or choose from 200 presets for real-world effects like smoke and sparkles
• Use professional masking tools to quickly draw and adjust control points for rotoscoping
• Automatically detect, track and match the movement of faces or objects using machine learning
• Choose between different tracking analysis types
• Add the Neon filter to easily add a neon glow to text, shapes, video, stills and more
• Harness an ecosystem of third-party FxPlug plug-ins for tasks like advanced tracking, advanced motion graphics and more

Effortless 3D
• Transition from 2D to 3D space by adding cameras
• Create 3D scenes within a 360° project for ultra-realistic 360° environments
• Set up realistic shadows that animate dynamically with the movement of cameras and lights
• Turn any shape, video plane or paint stroke into a reflective surface in 3D space
• Import third-party USDZ objects or use one of 60 pre-made objects in the Motion Library

Breakthrough Speed, Quality and Output

A fantastic app that's ridiculously good value

Motion can do a lot of what After Effects does in terms of motion graphics, though it doesn't try to match it for compositing. The 3D object and 3D text support is better than native AE, and it's much faster too. Free updates and the very low price are very welcome, but I do wish it saw more features updates more often.

HAVE FCPX - THEN BUY MOTION

Motion adds more functionality to FCPX especially for creating additional template effects - ITS THE MISSING PIECE

Equally bad and good. Very slow export. Great with scibble effect

There are alot of greart things about Motion 5, but there are equally as many bad.

Great: How easily and quickly you can pull together text designs and scribble effects. Definetly the best out there for scribble effect.

Bad: Very very slow exporting as it only uses a single core with no eGPU (2018 Mac Mini / Razor Core eGPU). Tedious zooming in and out, moving around the timeline with longer clips (12 min plus). Practically no direct integration with FCP X or any other video edting program.

If all of the above in the BAD section can be resolved with how good the scribble effect is alone it would be worth the cash. 2 stars and not higher because Motion takes over an hour to export a 14 minute 1080p clip... Where as FCP X takes less than 10 minutes.
