Platform: Apple Macintosh

With Apple's new Motion 3, creating professional motion graphics has never been easier. New features such as point tracking setup and four corner match moves are tools that make highend animation simple. The extension of 2D tools already used in 3D space allows for the simpler creation of motion graphics using such camera behaviors as dolly, truck, and orbit to move scene-to-scene or layer-to-layer. With the ability to import to FCP, you can send clips from Final Cut Pro to Motion for advanced image processing or to layer motion graphics with no worries of losing information.

top 5 things you will learn:

1. 3D Particle Systems
2. Cameras and Lights
3. 3D Overlays
4. Multiple Perspectives
5. Motion Templates in FCP

Tracking Points

Point tracking setup and four-corner match moves are simpler than ever. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can attach text, particles, or any layer to an object in a video clip and accurately follow its movement.

3D Graphics

Use multiple viewports to adjust motion paths, layers, and more in 3D space, then step your work up a notch by importing elements such as particles, Replicator patterns, and text behaviors.
