Apple motion Behaviors - Apple Motion Professional Training 6

[@TheBrianDotson]

I'm ok with the speed and I am going to rewind and playback no matter what. I am touching this software for the first time ever and using your videos as my step-by-step. I love this series and I think you are one of the best instructors out there. I've stopped and started a ton of other channels and yours is the only one that I like. Keep it up!

[@AVUltra]

Behaviors are a very broad topic- but felt starting with the basics is great. Do you have a favorite behavior? Is there something you'd like more info on? Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know.

[@TravelAddictsLife]

Great tutorial, thank you for sharing!

[@pathnativejam]

I got thru 1-6 and I think I'll have to stop just to digest all the variables involved! My head is spinning!

[@sanders123]

Thanks! U-da-man!

[@melaniechouette2445]

does the order of the 3 behaviours matter for the final effect? Throw on the top, Edge collision in the middle and Gravity at the bottom.

[@FlashPointHx]

already made a short video from the past few tutorials - getting some good comments already. Thanks!

[@AVUltra]

Hey thats great! Sounds like a great project. -S

[@StuartThePilot]

All these vids helping me so much keep them coming👊🏻

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the comment. I will keep making them as long as I am able. Im going to be finishing the first 10 in motion in the next couple months but plan on building a lot more. The part that takes the most time is building lessons and materials that are easy to understand and make and hopefully making them look good. -Stanislaw

[@AVUltra]

Also nice flight videos! Ive been wanting to get a pilots license for years but have had things like life and work keep getting in the way.

[@nipun2735]

Good tutorial 👍

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the compliment.

[@pedro_formuladapartitura]

Very useful tutorial! Thanks!

Is there a place where to request or place suggestions for Apple Motion that they actually pay attention to? I come in part from the video game industry and the equivalent “animation behaviors” are expanded by having tons more options with the easing types. Would be great to have (In-Out-InOut) Back, (In-Out-InOut) Bounce, Quad, Cubic, Quartic, Sine, etc... applying OutBack to both a movement and a scale would give this slide in with a small overshoot from the target before settling back in it’s final position/scale. This would be a dream to have. Or, could we even manufacture our own and even publish as parameters to FCPX? Thanks for these great vids. EDIT: Overshoot behavior found : p

[@AVUltra]

Hey there! Super glad you like the lessons. You can submit feature requests at the Apple Motion feedback page. I know they read every one of them. I got to meet a couple people that work on the team recently and I can assure you they take all suggestions it just turns into a matter of can it be implemented, are there better things to reach more people, are their technical or legal reasons like patents that they can’t do something etc. but if you wanted to create those specific curves you could create empty title templates and just animate the background in different ways and publish them as specific keyframe parameters. This way in final cut you could put anything in and it would animate with that keyframe preset (gone xy transforms) but that’s about it. I actually got started as an adobe certified instructor and taught After effects and Premiere across the US for like 9 years before I gave up on a lot of adobe. Right around 2014, most of the AE team left or were fired as they consolidated staff from reports I heard and outside of a couple things here or there not much changed since cs6. So I found fcp and motion and realized I could do 90% of the same work- faster- easier in motion and never really looked back. I made a bunch of premiere and after effects lessons and when I made motion lessons I realized there was very few lessons out there that covered things I wish I knew. I couldn’t afford the paid lessons from other places and said screw this- and wanted to make my own, free for everyone so more people could discover motion. You are proof that it’s working. Thanks for questions and support.

@@AVUltra That's a great background story. Absolutely that it is working, thanks a lot for sharing and the effort once again.

[@relaxingmusicmusicandvideo2422]

5 and 6 need to practice by doing brilliant guy

[@Iamseraphinamusic]

I hope you make a lot more of these, they're incredibly helpful! :) Especially since most of the tutorials on KZbin are from the last updated version of Motion haha

[@AVUltra]

+Seraphina Thanks- I plan on it. Honestly VERY little is different in the new version. They just removed a few things and rearranged things. Currently I have another 14 planned but we will see what the future holds. Thanks for watching. -Stanislaw

[@AVUltra]

@Craig Willis I've thought about it, but while Udemy is something I like, and personally use for learning some things, I find that the platform lacking in ways to allow me to stand out. I'm just yet another class. The same can be said with youtube I suppose, but here I can really focus on whatever I want, package it however I want (within KZbins ever shifting ideals of what is acceptable- which has its own challenges) and I can reach anyone in the world. When I started AV-Ultra and these lessons, my main goal was, and is still the same today- Offer the same or as close to the same level of training I use to travel the country and teach to fortune 500 companies across the US, but for anyone, anywhere in the world regardless if they could pay for it. I'd likely make way more money on Udemy than youtube- I make 'very' little on KZbin from AV-Ultra and less than .000001% of viewers have ever donated, but thats not the point. The point is when I was learning, there wasn't a lot of resources out there. I alway wanted to learn this stuff but couldn't afford it at all. Places like Ripple and other training can be great if you have the money. But when you are young, and broke, it's really frustrating and feels like "I guess im not rich enough to be successful". In my mind it's unfair. And that always bothered me. As of October 5th 2019- theres close to 2 million views on all my videos across different places. Chances are, out of those millions, there's been lots of people that are being paid tens of thousands of dollars in a job and they see a lesson of mine, finish their work and cash their paycheck and I dont see anything from it. I know so- I use to train companies, and literally help build out studios, but wasn't able to work for those companies because I didn't have the right degree from the right school. That's when I stopped training full-time. But theres likely a whole lot of other people that were like me- broke, and so desperate to learn and feeling like 'I'll never be able to do anything" and then watch my lessons, and make something. Feel like- Maybe I can learn something, maybe I am good at this. and THATS the people I do these for. AV-Ultra will always offer what I consider basics and the broad concepts to everyone for free. When theres very specific things like Object removals and automating graphic packages from spreadsheets, or creating real-time content for Large events (which I do as a side gig) Those are things I'll charge for- because its a specialty. Thanks for the comment, and I hope it explains things a little better. -Stanislaw.

[@GCSEPhysicsExplained]

AV-Ultra sharing your knowledge free for all. Respect. You’ll have made a difference to someone who really needed it. Your tutorials are great 👍🏻

[@JoeOberster]

This is great information, but you are going way too quickly for beginners. I am having to constantly pause and rewind, try to pick out where you are in menus, etc. This should probably be a 20-30 minute tutorial, and I would watch the whole thing. Don't be afraid to make longer beginner tutorials, short ones are for people that already know what they're doing but need quick tips.

[@AVUltra]

Joe- I 100% agree with you. I absolutely went too fast. My thinking at the time of recording (a few years ago from this writing) was that people could pause and reorient themselves. I realized that really pulls people out of the moment of following along, as then now have to figure out where I am, instead of the content. I sincerely apologize and while I can't give you that time back, I can at least explain it. I was still developing my teaching style and rhythm of pace and lesson delivery for online training for web. I was too methodical and exact by just delivering information. It could have been a slide show. And in the last few years I've been really focusing on making my lessons better and have made concentrated efforts on better teaching methodologies in my more current offerings. Im working on a whole new set of classes for Motion and FCPX, to better suit the current technologies, workflows and demands of video production and post production. In the meantime, I thought it was still best to keep these older items up as the information is still correct to the best of my knowledge, and theres not a lot of content out there for Motion and FCPX. Thanks for leaving the comment, -S

[@FullNelsonEats]

@@AVUltra these lessons are amazing for me I love to watch a bit then take notes in my notebook as you go, it really caters to my learning style by letting me "discover" small things on my own and figure out exactly how you're doing something. I really love these videos and just want to say thank you again for changing lives with knowledge!!! BEST tutorial series ever !!!!

[@tbbb_124]

Nice job demonstrating how behaviors work. I absolutely love Motion and the time it saves me. When creative Motion Graphics, behaviors are a big part of it.

[@AVUltra]

+Tony Badea thanks for the comment. I've found for non vfx work currently it's just easier and more fun working with motion. Behaviors are a huge part of that. Thanks for watching. -Stanislaw

[@stefan1221]

Hi Robert, is it possible with Motion 5 to link a behavior or movement to another object`s settings? (in the manner like AE with such "Pick Whip") - So if i already created a movement eg. from A to B, can i link or connect such movement to another object to such movement? If yes, how? Greetings from Germany!

[@AVUltra]

Most parameters that are keyframeable can be linked using either- Behaviors -> parameter -> Link Or inside the inspector clicking then small downward arrow to the right of the key frame toggle -> add parameter behavior -> Link. Doing either will create a behavior called link that has a drop well where you place the layer you want to link to, and choose a compatible parameter. It works very similar to the pickwhip in After Effects, but has a few more options. Thanks for the question, and hope it helps.

[@diegogdias]

Stanislaw, is it possible to adjust the easy in, easy out length of the behaviors? It seems practical to use them but it also seems not to be as customizable to fine tuning as the key frames.

[@AVUltra]

Depends on the behavior- in some cases you can set custom, or use a custom behavior itself and define any curves inside the behavior. You can also convert behaviors to keyframes and fine tune animations further.

[@Bill-Nanni]

Love your tutorials. Please keep them coming. I have a very stupid question. When you add the bezier line it attaches to the rectangle, but you still have the control points outside and when you duplicate the lines they stay inside your bg. I can not duplicate the effect without a mask. what settings do you use for the line?

[@AVUltra]

Check your grouping. Grouping will bundle items together. In the example, I have all the lines in a group and the rectangle in a group so effectively all the lines can be moved and adjusted independently and then the whole group can be moved. I also arranged them in z space with 3D layer controls if I recall correctly. Hope that helps out.

[@Bill-Nanni]

@@AVUltra Thanks, I will try again

[@filmchew4990]

nice!

[@charlieotto]

thanks so much for your help. i have an oscillator for which i want to automate the speed, but anytime i add any change to the speed, it freezes up and no longer oscillates at all. happens with keytracks and another behavior. anyone have thoughts?

[@AVUltra]

Keyframes overwrite the behaviors. Either group it and add key frames or use another behavior like a rate to adjust the speeds

[@BenjaminGib]

Thanks for making your vids.

[@MaDnBaD]

it's so simple and so difficult at the same time=) Thanks for revealing such a useful information!!!

[@AVUltra]

+MaDnBaD thanks for watching. Hope it helped.

[@joyulin9997]

Good start! Thanks for teaching! Is there any chance that you talk some more about behaviors?

[@AVUltra]

+Joyu Lin Hey- thanks for the comment! I'm planning on covering at least 3-4 more on behaviors but currently wrapping up my After Effects intro class- but due to the response I've gotten with motion I will absolutely be covering it more. Thanks again! -Stanislaw

[@genetvideo4009]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@AzovPort]

Ok!+

[@smrooke]

Did you make your ending graphic in motion?

[@AVUltra]

Yup

[@AVUltra]

Gotta practice what I preach otherwise i feel it’s really underhanded.

[@smrooke]

Thanks really appreciate your tutorials they are well done and very clear

[@universemediallc]

thanks

[@AVUltra]

+Universe Media Thanks for watching. I'm planning a few more behaviors lessons in the future so if there's anything specific you think would be great to cover let me know. -Stanislaw

[@leaper1983]

AV-Ultra maybe a tutorial on parameter behaviors like: link, rate, oscillate; and their practical uses.

[@AVUltra]

Marco- Thanks for the suggestions! I absolutely plan on covering Link and rate for sure. I haven't thought about oscillate but it sounds like a good one to lump with rate for sure. Those will likely come after the basics. Next up I have Emitters, Replicators, 3D layers basics, Exports and alphas, and then we can get into the fun stuff like the parameters, match move, roto. Thanks for writing, and thanks for watching. -Stanislaw
