Hmm... At the top where yours says file browser, library, inspector, mine only has library and inspector. Does anyone know why this is?

[@AVUltra]

Aurianna- Apple removed the file browser in the new updates. it was a really useful feature and I dont know why exactly it was removed. In other comments I address this- but wanted to assure you- otherwise its extremely similar. Thanks for the question and hopefully that helps. -Stanislaw

[@AVUltra]

Ive pinned your question to the top so hopefully it will help other people too. Thanks again for watching. -Stanislaw

[@lifewithmattandnikki3903]

was wondering the same thing. "Import" does the same thing however

[@VivianEcclefield58]

@@lifewithmattandnikki3903 So. . .after I click "Import". . .then what?

[@JessLambert19]

So I have a lot of experience working in Final Cut and all editing programs (Premiere and Avid) but I've never worked in a Motion Graphics app and so when I purchased Motion I opened it and was COMPLETELY overwhelmed and had no idea where to begin. I'm only 15 minutes into this but oh my gosh so many of my anxieties are being calmed by you breaking it down like this. THANK YOU!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for sharing!

[@alexanderfpv6655]

As a beginner I was worried about this series being 5 years old. I shouldn't have been. Great content for someone just learning Motion.

[@KingdomOfLuke]

Although this video is a few years old now your presentation style and the details you cover are excellent. Thanks for this content.

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

I would have to watch hours of these tutorials to get this and work with motion and study it . I put it at the bottom of my Christmas list for now .

[@richardking584]

4 years later and i'm still mindblown by how well you instruct. Thank you.

[@Nathaniel4109]

This is one of the best tutorials on Apple Motion the I know of. Stanislaw delivered this series in a clear, well paced and digestible sequence. Well done. Best of all this is free!

[@austinevplab7167]

I've always said Motion is the most under appreciated software for editors on the Mac. I want to echo your comment about price. I just bought a new M1 MacBook Pro and when I went to the App Store I downloaded my FCPX and Motion 5 apps without cost. That's because I already owned them. BTW, I bought them in 2011! Talk about value for the dollar!! What would 10 years of Premier and After Effects have cost me? A tad more than $350 I think,.

[@TheGreatBigMove]

Helpful tutorial. I appreciate that you purposely do something slightly incorrect, point out the result, and then explain why that result occurred and how to fix it.

[@Doubleodude]

Thank you so much. I just bought Motion and had no idea how to use it. I'm looking forward to more of your content.

[@AVUltra]

+DoubleODude thanks for watching. I just finished scripting out the next lessons and will be recording in the next week. Let me know if you have questions I'll do my best to answer them.

[@Doubleodude]

I do this as a hobby for my KZbin channel. I'll keep liking and comment to help your channel grow and you can slowly start getting paid for your content. It takes a while but it's like a piggy bank. The more content you make the more revenue you receive.

[@heroplatestudios6060]

I was sent here by rowie409. He said that he learned from your team first. He is amazing now. Thank you for the videos! One last thing: your logical comparison between Motion 5 and Adobe answered questions that were years old. Now, I will apply what I learned in my workspace... the lone Mac-FCPX-Motion 5 user in a sea of “other” nonlinear and mographic editing tools. Gonna crush it out there to make all of y’all look good. Glad to be your “student”!

[@AVUltra]

Hey I'm really glad to hear its helping people out. Thanks for checking out my lessons. Im currently building a whole new course and sections that will hopefully blow all my previous work out of the water. -S

[@heroplatestudios6060]

Super excited to see your next video! Am going through everything you posted in this playlist. PUMPED!

[@charlesledenis1644]

Hi Stan Rob! I'm moving from After Effects to Motion right now. The slowness of After Effects and the eternally long rendering only annoyed me terribly. Since 2014 there has been no more multi-processor support (bas tar ds!), I can no longer see how only 1 core is used while my other 11 cores have to sleep. Thank you very much for your Motion tutorials, they help me a lot now (I also recommend Simon Ubsdell's Motion tutorials on KZbin). People should get paid by Apple for their Motion tutorials (the richest or at least one of the richest companies in the world !!!), that's nothing but peanuts for them. A beautiful program like MOTION absolutely deserves to be much better known and used by creative people in the world. I found out about Apple Motion by chance, almost too late, just before the end of the world, they don't advertise it at all ...

[@Animation-bn1rn]

I just will begin to learn video editing and motion graphics do you recommend resolve, final cut or premier for someone that is beginning, I wont use it to find a job, just for youtube.

[@JarosawTabor]

That was well spend 30 min. Nice work!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching. Im planning on having another 5 motion lessons in the next month or so

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Great stuff buddy! Keep it up!

[@xios1515]

Really useful, can't wait to be making cool things in motion!

[@mahabubalam1836]

I have been trying to learn this for a long time now. finally something worth my 30 min. I really appreciate it man. Thanks a bunch.

[@JonPascoe]

Great tutorial - I just downloaded motion and when you first open it, it can be a bit overwhelming. This video really helped demystify apple motion. Thank you

[@AVUltra]

Hey Im really glad to hear that. It can absolutely be a challenge for people new to it but I personally promise if you stick with it you'll be able to make amazing things, useful things and speed up workflow in FCP. Have fun and keep going. -Stanislaw

[@ThoughtRain]

You make it look so doable ! Thanks for boosting my confidence ! Bought Motion long back... just lying there without being used ! I will open it and try ! Thanks

[@trentcarr7934]

You're certainly a great teacher. Very detailed explanation. Gotta give credit where it's due. You can turn a complete Motion dummy into a Motion pro in less than a day. You don't skip over small details that are actually quite vital to beginners. Nothing slips through the cracks. I'm no longer intimidated by the application, lol. Well done. 👏

[@AVUltra]

Trent- Thanks for the kind words. Hope it helped you out, and sincerely hope you find the rest of the lessons just as useful. Thanks for watching. -Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

[@chinamoses]

Thank you so much. I have started to watch about 8 videos. And yours had the clearest explanation.

[@AVUltra]

+China Moses Thanks for watching. I have a whole set of motion lessons online to get up and running. Be sure to check them out. -Stanislaw

[@AdamoFiscella]

Wow. An articulate, well spoken, correct terminology tutorial spoken by an adult. You don't k ow how much this means to me. Thumbed up and subbed

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words. I started doing the motion tutorials as I was frustrated trying to learn it myself and found much of the lessons out there less accurate than I expected or covered items that I would rarely, if ever, use in my work.

[@torquilh]

I am watching this in 2022 because i really want to make my own videos, but after 10 years of using PP and AE that was paid for by my employer, they are just too expensive for an indivudual. I am super excited to learn from your tutorials. Thank you!

[@AVUltra]

I was an after effects trainer for an adobe training center before I used motion. For fun and a challenge, I learned Motion and that’s how I developed these lessons. Once you get it, it’s typically faster and easier for about half the daily tasks I would normally do in AE. Good luck!

[@fabianstrohmeier7210]

wow! my English isnt the best but I understand u perfectly perfect introduction of motion! Good Work :)

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching. Appreciate the comment and glad you could understand it. -Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

[@deantsanga1121]

I just started in Motion and I should say, this is one of the most well done tutorials ever. Fool-proof. On point. Well explained. You got yourself another subscriber. Thank you very much for taking your time to do this. God bless.

[@AVUltra]

Dean- I appreciate the kind words. Truth be told I started doing all these Motion lessons because I was frustrated with the content that was out there already for Apple Motion.. A lot of it was either: 1. Expensive. like 70 dollars for a video or two! 2. Not really examplesI would actually use. Some great technical stuff but id watch it and say - "cool but I'll never actually use that" 3. Hard to watch, hard to hear, hard to follow. I spend a lot of time planning which lessons to cover, in what order, and how best to showcase the topic as best I can. I will always have my lessons be free.Im currently working on another set of 7 Motion lessons and some FCPX currently so be sure to check them out. Thanks for watching. -Stanislaw R. Luberda AV-Ultra

[@deantsanga1121]

Wow that's a lot of commitment. Well thought out, and it's so considerate of you. Your work is not going in vain. You are helping a lot of us out here who are financially constrained. I had actually put learning Motion on a hold because of the same reasons you have mentioned. I am so grateful and glad that I found your channel. Thank you once again. I will stay tuned and keep following.

[@cook1e_owo]

I am a student who studies motion 5. This video helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

[@AVUltra]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@JunaidKureshi]

I just came to ur channel and man you have done a lot in motion 5 to help people, people like you deserves standing ovations, thanks a lot, started watching the series one by one.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks a lot for checking it out. I’m really hoping people like this whole new set I’m currently working on- can’t talk too much about it now- but in winter 2019, I’m going to have some really cool things.

[@FlashPointHx]

Thank you for posting this! I've been wanting a simple to use software to create and animate videos without having to pay an arm and a leg or "rent" a program with a learning curve like El Capitan.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the comment- Out of all the motion graphics suites I use, Motion has been the easiest fastest way for me to create. And the price is so low it really pays for itself after a single job. I hope you make some great things with it. -Stanislaw AV-Ultra

[@FlashPointHx]

I'm just into making some podcasts on history and adding a video component (but there is only so much one can do with iMovie) - but when I saw the price of After Effects and the amount of technical training, it just didn't seem worth it. Plus, I'm not keen on the idea of 'renting' software. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials. All the best!

[@SwanSycorax]

Thank you. The first Motion Tutorial I have been able to follow from start to finish - I am totally new to Motion. I was thrown by a few differences between the release you were obviously using at the time and the current release I have started with - 5.4.5, but I think I managed to suss everything.

[@silvertourist]

Hi Stanislaw... just purchased Motion and FCPX and new to all this stuff. Your tutorials are helping me so much. Thanks Paul

[@AVUltra]

Hey thats great to hear. Theres a lot it can do for the price. I just wish Apple would update it, as it hasn't really had a major update in a while.

[@changwoneee]

I have just purchased motion and I started to watch your tutorials and its amazing. There hasn't been a lot of creators having tutorials about apple products like motion and im so glad I found your channel. After watching your first video, immediate subscribe and can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. Thank you for your tutorials man! I can't wait to make creative stuff with this

[@AVUltra]

Hey thanks for the comment. Motion is crazy powerful for the price. Hope you enjoy the rest of the lessons.

[@vladimirtalijan]

Exactly, Motion to AE is like FCP to Premiere Pro, it's way more modern and faster to work with, but most people are just doing what the next man is doing, and that's why old things like AE is still an industry standard.

[@FelixHuray]

great job bro. pleasae update the video for Motion 5.4 . keep doing more content for motion please. !!! thanks so much much. you are awsome

[@nareshkarthickt7047]

TNice tutorials is by far, the best tutorial I have found so far. I feel like I’ll be spending a lot of ti on your channel! Thanks man! Keep up the good

[@renatosantosfoto]

Man, I was desperately looking for a way to get these essentials about motion. You gave it to me perfectly explained. I appreciate a lot!

[@MariaBelova]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! like many people here I was terrified of motion, you made is made sense, you don't waste a second of your video, everything is easy to understand (and when it's not I just rewatch the same part over and over again). I have motion 5.4.6 and head up display is in the upper right corner and called HUD, also there is no file browser, it is replaced by IMPORT button (eww)

[@sterlingteaches]

Wonderful Motion Tutorial. You explained how to get started in motion very well. I will be watching your other Motion Videos and have subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching. I have many more planned and outlined- just been busy with work. Hope I helped. -Stanislaw

[@tombuck]

Thanks for this, it’s insanely helpful. I’m finally ready to dive into Motion now. I’m also a teacher, and we use Creative Cloud in my lab (in addition to FCPX), Dan while I love the power of Adobe products, their business model and licensing policies are an absolute nightmare. I’m hoping Apple continues to invest in their software. And yes, I know this video is like 4 years old, but whatever.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words. I guess the good news is the core topics and workflow hasnt changed too much yet.

[@realevostevo]

Thank you for making this video. I'm just trying to get a basic understanding of what Motion is like before I buy. Man, I googled looking for a video explaining it since there's no trial version and it's unbelievable how many videos I had to skip over before I found this one. So many videos about After Effects took search result priority even though I specifically googled Motion 🤨

[@taratiwari4607]

one of the best and brief tutorials, god bless this guy. thanks. wish for more tutorials on how to create magnificently our own chaannel intros clips.

[@GHBCLafayette]

WOW, I've been so intimidated by Motion I would not even open it up, you have really helped me a lot. I generally stick to Final Cut and love it but this gives you much more range on your project. Thanks!!!

[@Animation-bn1rn]

[@franciscomarquezleon3757]

woah, just went from imovie to Motion and this is awesome, I've got a loooot to learn! This was realllllllly helplful!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching. Its a great program. I wish Apple would fully update parts of it but its incredibly powerful for the price.

[@mandyweiss8305]

really felt like i was watching the NFL or NASCAR with those title card sound effects. great teacher! great video

[@danielleholmes1295]

Much respect for your work, been using final cut for music videos, now getting into the graphics side of thing with motion, apple all the way!

So I just saw that you have 22 (33 if you count the quick tips and compressor tutorials) and im probably gonna watch them all. Enjoy the money and the watchtime ;)

[@iboughtarv6570]

this is an excellent tutorial! thank you. Motion is much more about building and viewing a vertical timeline as opposed to FCPX with a vertical one. thx again

[@poppylove1967]

I am very new to Motion and needed to know the basics to get me started. This little tutorial has helped me immensely! Thank you!

[@AVUltra]

Im glad it's still useful. It's a bit older but most of the information is the same. Im putting new intro lessons together at this time and hope you like those just as much.

[@Jason_Hermann]

[@AVUltra]

+Unnderdogg1 Glad I could help! Personally I believe the older macpros are way better. Slap a new gpu in there and it's faster than the new machines.

[@langalethusoko8928]

Thank you Stanislaw, you are doing a really great job with these tutorials. I'm so glad I found you and saved myself a load of money not going with After Effects. Truly grateful. 🙌

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words. I truly appreciate it.

[@michael_degroot]

Least I could do, I can see the amount of work you have put in on these and your thought process is perfect. I particularly enjoy the fact that you are not explaining all the controls first, but exploring those whilst doing a project and therefore it has more meaning to me. I followed your instructions and created a project at the same time, pausing the video and it worked beautifully. Thank you again, I appreciate you! 🙌

[@meeshme1961]

I have come late, very late to FCP X & Motion 5. My 1st attempts at introducing myself to Motion were dreadful, and disasters. I then discovered your Motion introduction video, and it's like veil being lifted. "I've seen the light". . . . Thank you sir. Plus I have subscribed to your channel, I hope that's OK ? Kind Regards

[@AVUltra]

Better late than never, and in that same thematic. I think you're right on time. Things are just now starting to get really great with FCP and Motion, and I'm excited (and grateful) you found some of my lessons helpful. Thanks for checking it out. -Stanislaw

[@GabrielGonzalez-iw7qv]

Thaaaanks a loooot Dude!!! since I can only afford to buy Motion, I can get the most out of its´ keying capabilities, and continue editing in my MacMini´s iMovie program.

[@AVUltra]

Glad you like it- since you are using motion I would highly suggest getting fcpx when the budget allows- using motion and Fcpx together is amazing. And sadly something that isn’t possible in iMovie

[@ArlisaSThomas]

Thanks for awesome tutorial Stanislaw! I’ve been battling between learning AE and this and paying for a subscription to do basically the same thing. I got Motion for free as part of a bundle so I really have no excuse not to learn it. I will be watching all of your tutorials and I want to thank you for taking the time out to do it. It’s much appreciated! You’ve got a new subscriber.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for checking it out and the kind words. The reality is that Motion and After Effects are very similar tool until you get into deep specifics. There are absolutely things that Motion does better than After Effects, and there are things that After Effects can do better. For the price and the versatility- I personally prefer using Motion to accomplish a lot of my Motion graphics needs nowadays, but there are still times where if i need after effects- I can still grab it for a month, but those times are becoming fewer and farther between. I sincerely hope you enjoy the other lessons. I do my best to answer questions and comments in these videos whenever possible, so if there's ever anything you would like to know- don't hesitate to ask. -S

[@ArlisaSThomas]

AV-Ultra thanks again and if I have questions I will definitely ask!

[@ChantalJonesProductions]

Absolutely loved this tutorial! Thank you so much! Great clarity in your explanations!

best Apple Motion tutorial i've ever seen... Thumbs up!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@wooddog321]

Awesome. I'm brand new to Apple Motion and wanted a good tutorial to show me the basics. I bought a 20 minute video from the App Store for $25 which was not an intro at all. So searched KZbin and found you. Very well explained. And free. The least I can do is like and subscribe. Thankyou so much. :-)

[@AVUltra]

Hey thanks for checking it out. I've got more planned for FCP and Motion than I know what to do with this year.

[@wooddog321]

AV-Ultra Lol. I am literally watching and learning from another one of your videos as I got this message. You’re a great teacher. 😊

[@wooddog321]

[@charuuppal7043]

So very useful!! Thankyou, just starting to use it!! and this was the most detailed and well explained video among all that I viewed...thankyou!

[@AVUltra]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MusicMindMagic]

Hi there Im a newbie with motion 5. Is it a standalone program or is it dependent of other programs like final cut?

[@AVUltra]

+MusicMindMagic Hi there. Motion is standalone. So is final cut. Motion works really well when combined with final cut in regards for templates and generators. Thanks for the question

[@TheHomesickNomad]

Hello Robert. I have been an Adobe user for quite a long time but recently acquired FCPX and Motion. I opened Motion and played with it about 5 minutes and closed it again. It is definitely different from AE in many respects and I was a bit reluctant to learn something altogether new. BUT, part of my reason for picking up FCPX and Motion are because I never know when I may stop subscribing to Adobe and then all my work would be locked up. Additionally, plug-ins like Red Giant Universe are subscription too. I like knowing that I am not going to be held hostage to get to my work. SO... all that to say, YOU are my first teacher in Apple Motion. And I would say that you do a good job of explaining the basics. I look forward to continuing in your video instruction and want you to know you have another willing student. :-)

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words. I use After Effects daily along with Motion depending on the project. I'll say that Motion is actually more similar than it is different. the principles, and workflow are essential the same and universal. My name is actually Stanislaw, my middle name is Robert. Thanks for watching. -S

[@musicmac1108]

I'm late late watching this but that was an excellent tutorial.

[@AVUltra]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alejmc]

After watching several of your Motion tutorials the past few days (in no specific order) and coming midways to this very first one, what you say at the beginning about being a great deal for $50 is almost an understatement... having watched the particles, replicators, behaviors, rigs, title/generators/transition publish to FCPX features, etc I must say I’m floored. I can’t thank you enough for setting up this tutorials. Many years later and they are still 100% relevant. At the beginning one of my main concerns, and I declare myself guilty, was “but where are m’ah-keyframe expressions” from the AE world, not anymore... if it is really not doable then so be it, maybe do that small part in AE or try another way. It is more than capable overall. Any reason why these suite seems to be not that popular? Maybe also I have been on a bubble for the most part and people around tend to dismiss it or joke about it, honestly a lot of the things that AE can do are at least easier and/or streamlined here... AE for me becomes quickly precomps hell. I do find crazy that we have to create our own ‘adjusment layer’ equivalent (an empty Titles publish basically) for example though... that’s something.

[@AVUltra]

It’s a tough call why it’s not more popular. I think a lot of people didn’t take fcpx seriously and people from the ae world looked at motion and saw mostly out of date examples. There isn’t an Andrew Kramer of motion to show how cool it is. Plus 50 for a serious post tool makes it seem like a toy. It turns off professional who spend 10k for flame or nuke 10 years ago. I think really it was way too advanced for its time. There wasn’t a lot of people doing video as much as now and literally everyone has movie quality at their fingertips and now just realizing it. It’s kinda weird but also kinda amazing. It’s been a long while but I believe 2020 is the year a lot of people are discovering it and just like you are saying I could spend $50 dollars for my entire career in motion or spend $7000 for Adobeland software. I’d rather keep the $7000 myself.

Adjustment layers aren’t really a thing. It’s kinda an overlay hack in all systems. I see a LOT of people making ‘adjustment layers’ for people to download but I think it’s a terrible idea. Motion changes a little from version to version and those adjustment layers can break. You can achieve exactly the same effect by using any title included with fcpx and just remove all the text layers and do whatever and now it’s an ‘adjustment layer’ ;)

I also believe a lack of training materials and just showing people what you can do is a huge hindrance. One of the reasons why I moved most of my lessons to motion. It’s outstanding value that can’t be touched, renders really well outside of some motion blurs and particles that seriously need updating on apples end.

​@@AVUltra Indeed, very well said. Maybe 2020 is going to be an interesting year. Lots of advancements on many levels, a lot of the plugins I tended to use on AE have a counter part in FCPX/Motion for the most part (mO2 Element3D was a nice discovery for me), explorations on NLE tools on iPad Pro, etc. I also program a bit and have realized that there's actually very good 'getting started' documentation on how to do Generators and Effects via the 'FxPlug' SDK, something that with AE I couldn't ever really get started beyond the usual JavaScript-ing... the barrier for me there was real, seems a lot less scary now. Maybe yourself were ahead of your own time too, here I am watching over 3yo tutorials! Thanks for going through the comments along the assorted videos. I kinda spammed along them as I was watching without realizing it could take too much of your time in one shot. Greatly appreciated.

This dude just gave a big reason to ditch adobe altogether 😂 Regardless, great video, it really helped me understand what motion is used for!

Outstanding tutorial!!! I am new to the Apple suite of products and have been teaching myself FCX, Compressor, and Motion. I am very glad to have stumbled onto your channel. Any chance you are going to expand your training to include "titles" as the subject? Made a mess of the first go around. Thank you again for the great resource.

[@AVUltra]

Hi there- Thanks for the kind words. Incidentally I go through several different ways of making titles and templates in further lessons. Thanks for watching. -Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

Very helpful thanks

[@ChristopheZD]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Loved it. I'm excited to get going on this specific task. Can you tell me where I can find a motion icon that isn't attached to a background? I'd like to recreate this as closely as possible.

[@AVUltra]

Hi there- You should be able to find one pretty quickly online with a simple search- Thanks for watching. -Stanislaw AV-Ultra
