Introduction to Keyframes - Apple Motion Professional Training 02 by AV-Ultra

[@dylanm3519]

This video was the one that made me subscribe. You really gave details of the functionality within the motion program. As someone with a digital media background who needs a refresher, this video was very helpful to me.

[@AVUltra]

I’m thrilled to hear. Motion is an incredible app that gets overlooked because like @apple fashion it thinks differently. Thanks for the comment.

[@leadingmindinstitute6399]

Thank you Stanislaw! Excellent videos!

[@JSUTrumpet]

Dude... This is the best tutorial i have found.. Thanks man!

[@AVUltra]

Hey thanks for checking it out. Appreciate the kind words. -S

[@diegogdias]

Shout out from Brazil 🇧🇷. Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@thegoblinjohnny7268]

Best Apple Motion Tutorial series ever!! Greatly appreciated! 👍

[@zaubererkalibo]

Just started to discover Motion - WHAT A GREAT INSTRUCTOR YOU ARE!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words. I really hope they help you out. -S

[@AVUltra]

Also Nice acts I myself am just getting into learning Sleight of hand and working on some tricks. You have some cool stuff!

[@CLAudio-pn6qf]

Many thanks for your excellent tutorial: Clear and to the point and very easy to follow. I will get Motion 5 and use it in my next video. Apple should be paying you. Kind regards from England UK.

[@AVUltra]

Glad it was helpful! I started making these because I didn't see a lot of lessons on Motion, and I couldn't afford the paid lessons. Its a fantastic program for the price.

[@ImN0tInsane]

I think I found my personal teacher to learn Apple Motion today. Thanks for your work, many people would have been making viewers pay to have access to their knowledge. You rock !

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. Incidentally this is the exact reason why I started this channel. To teach people the stuff I wish I learned. For Free. I work as a television motion graphics artist and producer in Wisconsin- when I went to school for this stuff we didn't learn anything close to what I do on a day to day basis. It was the biggest financial and career mistake of my life. So I decided to teach the basics of all the programs I use so other people can learn for free. I just wish I had more time outside of work to keep working on these. Thanks again- Stanislaw

[@azarulahmed789]

Man you deserve an award! Intelligent, thoughtful, kind, caring! Excellent stuff! Appreciate it loads!

[@ngonzale3]

Agreed! I owned this product for so long and never used it until now. These tutorials are great!

[@OcarinaIsGaming]

Thank God you made this series!!! I was so overwhelmed when I first opened up Motion.

[@supermsmedia]

Thanks for your tutorial & knowledge Apple Motion

[@AVUltra]

You are most welcome

[@seazenbones6945]

Yet again a brilliant video

[@Viscountsky1961]

Just trying to cobble together an interesting vid of my son's baseball season. I purchased Motion a few years ago, but each time I had an idea, I was confused with the application. Stanislaw, I cannot thank you enough for these clear and concise instructional videos. So generous of you to take the time to teach us. Thank you so much.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words. Hope you continue to learn and make some great projects! -Stanislaw

[@StateCom]

Nice work! Thank you for your efforts.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching!

[@etcdtv4216]

I hope every youtube tutorials are done as clear as this... i hope you'll continuously create more apple motion tutorials... You're so awesome!!!

[@AVUltra]

+ETC DTV Thanks- after a bit of a break- I'm uploading my lesson 8 on replicators later today. Knowing that someone gets use out of these has been very motivating to keep making them. Thanks for watching. I hope they can help you create awesome work.

[@Foltl]

Congrats on this series, explained simply and understandably! (for those who are fed up with AfterEffects ...)

[@KubaDudekGuitar]

Awesome tutorial! I've just started to work with Motion and your videos helps me a lot! Thank you!

[@Kolezev]

Thanks!

[@robinray1818]

You're a clear and brilliant teacher! Thanks!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. Hope you create some great stuff. -Stanislaw

[@spuntnik]

Thank you so much. Great tutorials. watched all of them and watching them again. The amount of thinking and effort you put is much appreciated. Thank you

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching! Hope it helped.

[@Kooberz]

I found this useful!

[@tylerdakin5909]

This is great stuff! Crazy how easy it is to create professional looking animations with just some quick keyframes (in Motion specifically, Hitfilm was never this easy)!

[@AVUltra]

Make sure you check out behaviors and then publishing templates. Everything you make in Motion you can directly access via final cut, means you can make your own custom titles, animations and even custom effects. Thanks for checking out the lessons.

[@politicalGRAFFITI]

I have taught myself to use Motion... your tutorials are filling in the gaps in my knowledge. Greatly easing my use of the software. Thanks so much!

[@coletidwell7120]

Man I've learned so much in about six hours of practice. I applied for a job as a videographer at a church and they use this a lot. I have a lot of experience with both live video production and studio production but no graphics. This helps a lot thank you!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching, glad I could help.

[@adproproductions2038]

Very Nice! Thank you!

[@fabolous-vs760]

Thank you very much for all the great videos on apple motion. This is very helpful, as your channel is basically the only one that covers apple motion in a very good way.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks! As of now I have another 20 lessons or so I want to make but I think Apple might kill Motion so Im waiting until fall to publish those.

[@SiavashPiano]

Thank you very much for the useful video! glad to see how you work around with keyframes!

[@AVUltra]

Glad you liked it, theres so much more you can do with Motion, and the keyframes once you get deep into the animation graph.

[@olghinavideo]

i broke my head one week trying to understand AE. then yesterday I bought Motion and found your channel and the life is beautiful :P

[@AVUltra]

You’re going to love how fast and easy it is in comparison to get similar results.

[@wDec149]

just got myself my first ever macbook with motion. i was already pretty comfortable in AE so my understanding of this is kinda good even now, but i need some help really learning it and these tutorials are a great help. looking forward to finishing this series:)

[@AVUltra]

This is exactly why im doing these. Thanks for the comment.

[@wandering_prince]

Man I just love your videos. This just gets me from knowing absolutely nothing about Motion to being able to actually make something with it. Wonderful!

[@vickychen6577]

I am switching from PremierPro to FCP (hobby), I am on class #2 intending to follow the whole course. Thank you so much for being such good instructor. Next I would love to learn how to integrate FCP with Motion, since I am a fan of After Effect but hate to subscribe to Adobe.

[@AVUltra]

for the price it cant be beat. I Really wish Apple would update it more often.

[@halitolmez7124]

Great explanation and tutorials. Thanks for the effort. Gained one more subs.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for checking it out. Keyframes are so crucial, we wouldn’t have a lot without them! When you are ready, check out the 12 principles of animation - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5qqimOnnt5rnLs as that video gets into the next level of keyframes: interpolations.

[@joshwatkinson9306]

Appreciate this is from 6 years ago but coming from PR and AE to FC and Motion has been daunting to say the least. Your tutorials on motion are so easy to follow and well laid out. Thanks for this amazing content 👍🏻

[@TheLucaarioli]

Awesome, I finallt was able to understand how keyframes works. Simple, clear and easy. Thanks a lot

[@AVUltra]

Hey thats really great! I recommend checking out behaviors in some of the further lessons as they are way more powerful (and easier!) Thanks for watching. -Stanislaw

[@MountMediaChannel]

Great work! Thx for your tutorials!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for checking it out! -S

[@maxmustermann8663]

So much time and effort. Also you are a great speaker - very understandable even for foreigners! Thank You :)

[@AVUltra]

I've turned on public translations- so if anyone wanted to submit translations, they can.

[@ChicoThePhilosurfer]

Hey, this is really great! You teach very clearly and obviously know what you're talking about. Thanks so much for doing these! I'm going to watch them all

[@santospoland]

Brilliant tutorials. I am complete neophyte in Motion. I dived in and used it for about 2 hours using only the built in Help to get some video on a timeline. Your tutorials and clear instructions and examples are very encouraging, what looks like a daunting app is turning out to be a well organized set of panels to get stuff done. I am really excited. Watched your 1st tutorial and am almost done this one. I am blown away by Motion's capabilities and I know that I peeking through a slightly ajar window at this early stage. I am so grateful for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and the time you took to put this together. Thank you very much!

[@AVUltra]

Hey Alex- Thanks for checking these out. To be honest Motion is incredible for the price. I hope you enjoy the rest of my lessons and have fun! -Stanislaw Robert Luberda AV-Ultra

[@pedro_formuladapartitura]

very useful!!! thank you!

[@leewarner8843]

I'm a long time After Effects pro user and I'm using your tuts to familiarize myself with Motion as it's easier to integrate with FCPX than AE is. Thanks for providing these tuts to the universe free of charge. My question is....my preference would be to reveal the text danglers on the top text line and not have them cut off by the mask. What would be the best way to create a similar reveal, stopping at the same Y position, yet not cutting off the danglers of the g and y?

[@AVUltra]

Lee- Thanks for your question. ITs a great one. In this specific example- I'm really using a mask. What I would do in the situation you ask is basically drawn a mask shape to allow for the decenders of the text. so instead of a rectangular shape, draw a new shape to allow for those decenders. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! -Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

Very well and professional trainer ! 👍👌💻

[@michalpolkowski7359]

Great tutorial, as always. I'm pro with Adobe DTP apps (ID, PS, AI, Acrobat), but just getting started with Motion and FCPX (as a hobby). With your tutorials studying is quick and easy. Good job, thanks! Now going to watch next one :)

[@AVUltra]

+Michal Polkowski thanks. I'm actually a certified adobe instructor too. Spent the last 5 years traveling the US teaching fortune 500s in premiere and Ae. I have a bunch of those lessons too.

[@corbajan]

Thank you for work you did. This tutorial is great and easy to understand.

[@geoffsearle9079]

Great tutorial, i'm new to Apple Motion and i'm looking for the best way to achieve a project that i have in mind. So what i want to do is re-create part of the title sequence of the "poriot". I love the Art Deco thing with the vanishing lines. I have a train that appears middle left of the screen and moves diagonaly towards the bottom right. I have mamaged to get this looking pretty good using motion path, as it moves it grows. What i want to do is make the train dissapear into the distance. May not be explaining this very well. Do you have a tutorial on how to do this or some advice on how to achieve this?

[@kudukuduppai]

Thank you sir...

Amazing thank you

[@perryeising]

Excellent tutorial. Just subscribed! Thank you!

[@rakshilady]

Just amazing. I've been watching your videos for days. I just got motion and I'm thrilled to have found such a good teacher. Are there, by chance, any documents listing the steps you take in these videos? I'd sure love one. In any case, thank you! 💜

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words. I dont have any of the step by step procedures listed anywhere for my free training. Best I can offer is the timestamps which will take you to the individual topics I cover in the lesson. -Stanislaw

[@rakshilady]

@@AVUltra Don't fret about it. I'm working my way through each video and learning a tremendous amount. I now have 'pause, do, play, pause, rince/repeat' down to a fine art. ;) Thank you again for your amazing work. I think I may eventually beat Motion into submission. ;)

[@chucklove909]

remember to enable the record button before this works. correct? I think you had it already enabled before going thru the process. Great video!

[@AVUltra]

Really you just need to select keyframes- the record button is an "automatic keyframe" feature that will automatically make keyframes as you change parameters and in my personal experience, gets in the way more than it helps- but if it works for other people- go for it. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.

[@bayuangkoso5590]

Awesome tutorial

[@AVUltra]

Thanks. I have a few more coming up quick in Motion and using Motion to make templates for FCPX. Theres also some rumors that a new version of FCPX is coming out soon so I'll be working on making a few in FCPX too. Thanks for watching.

[@unknownman9429]

Very helpful! Thank you !!!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching! I was waiting for the new update to finish these.

[@mdesoukymansour1]

Amazing !!

[@paulcolbourne5555]

I don’t se the key frames in the time line. How do I see them

[@TheTranq]

I see there is no way to isolate and see which keyframes are associated with what parameter within a group. Like in After Effects each parameter gets a spot on the timeline if it's given keyframes. Does it get confusing when you start changing a lot of parameters?

[@AVUltra]

You can totally isolate certain parameters. Since this is an intro I didn’t get into the rest of the keyframe view. I will say it’s gotten better over the last couple years but it could still be a lot better.

[@TheTranq]

@@AVUltra Ok cool! Working on a title in Motion now so well see how it goes it's my first time using it! Still don't get some of the differences between effect and generator in Motion but I'm just gonna start with titles

[@TheTranq]

@@AVUltra I must say I didn't see a way to isolate and see one key frame per parameter. It seems like similar parameters (portion rotation scale) for example are all clumped into one keyframe?

[@DJoneMedia]

Amazing!!!!

[@RobertBaileytheeditor]

Curious, why does the first mask show "animating keyframes," but not "apple motion," since apple motion is being animated from within the first mask?

[@AVUltra]

You can set specific image masks to only affect certain layers in Certain ways. For more info check out my lessons specifically on image masks.

[@_techana]

This is really astounding! Thank you. I have a question. Can I make a clip in Motion with all moving text and shapes, but without a background video as you did in this tutorial. Then, take this clip with its "transparent" background and place it over a video in Final Cut Pro X? If yes, then can the clip be imported into FCPX as a "linked" object, so when a change is made on it in Motion, it is automatically applied in FCPX?

[@AVUltra]

Yep- you sure can. but theres so much more, you can Publish parameters and it becomes basically live link to Motion but INSIDE fcpx. Be sure to check out the other lessons like the lower third or title templates. Hope it helps. -Stanislaw Robert Luberda AV-Ultra

[@pathnativejam]

question? What is the workflow like for a music video? can it be done entirely in Motion?

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the question. While it CAN be done I really wouldn't recommend it. Thats not really what Motion is for. Motion is really for effecting or compositing clips, not really editing. What my workflow is- Get a storyboard for your video. Shoot it, edit it in your editing program of choice. If you are using Motion, Id recommend using Final Cut with it. Point is you want to get it so you know all your clips are not going to change at all. Then take the individual clips you are going to effect etc, and work on them one by one. Some shots might be quick, I've had other shots takes days depending on the project. Bring them back into your editing program. Edit them all together.

[@goldensparrowmobile9924]

You r great bro

[@rocktoone]

You had me at hello!~ Seriously, you are the BEST there is when it comes to training on FCPX and Motion....Clear & Concise and the perfect amount of time spent. Where can I donate to your cause?.....really, the fact that this is free is remarkable and I want you to stay doing what you are doing by donating? I have spent toooooo much money with other online training from BOZO’s who don’t know squat!!!! Please let me know?

[@AVUltra]

I appreciate the comment. My main goal with this channel is to offer better than paid training or lynda for free. I'm incredibly flattered that you would want to donate, but youtube doesn't have a way to do that anymore (though they use to). If you want to help me out the best thing would be to tell other people about my channel or send me some suggestions for topics to cover. I currently have about 10 more motion lessons scripted right now, so I hope those can help you out. Thanks for watching, and I hope you make some great content with it. -Stanislaw

[@apelleskjv9241]

Wow! this one is hard to catch! Working with Motion is real tough :(

[@leonardpersin9694]

Hey dude any idea on how to make a 3d grid move continuously (like a road) in motion 5? I’ve watched all your videos and still can’t seem to figure it out

[@leonardpersin9694]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXO9hYqOetB5q5o Something like this? Is it even possible on this program ?

[@AVUltra]

Leonard- Its totally possible. In fact, to make a scene like that try the following: In generators: place a Grid generator, turn off the BG opacity, and turn on the Graph Paper lines checkbox. change the color and make it a 3D layer, and rotate the grid layer in 3D space. Then to animate it, open the grid back up- and Animate the Offset on the grid. Add blurs and glows till it looks like Rad Racer. :)

[@leonardpersin9694]

AV-Ultra you’re amazing! Thank you!

[@lifestyleofchanel9758]

So for some reason I have a project that is 8 seconds but In motion it plays in about two seconds once I hit the play button can you all help with that?

[@AVUltra]

Change your project duration by clicking in the stop watch near the timecode indicator. This changes the setting to project length vs. timecode. Outside of that- couldn’t help you without seeing the project.

[@manwithllama]

At 10:54 you select the text group, then use the rectangular mask tool. This isn't working for me in Motion 5.4. The mask tool is disabled. Am I doing something wrong? Or has masking in this way changed/been disabled in 5.4? Thanks for the videos! Learning a ton from you… for FREE!!! :)

[@manwithllama]

Figured it out! By default, it looks like the groups in Motion 5.4 are "3D Groups" upon which a mask won't work. Ctrl click on the group, and uncheck "3D Group". Now you can apply your mask just like tutorial shows.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for pointing that out and leaving a comment. I’m sure it might help someone else. -Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

[@manwithllama]

AV-Ultra No prob! Glad I can help out.

[@messiahchurch5320]

this drove me nuts. There is another clarification that is very important. You cannot apply masks to a text layer. You must apply it to the group.

[@Diegoc2]

We can do this in FCPX, whats the difference by doing it here?

[@AVUltra]

Diego- Editing keyframes in fcpx is not as easy as it is in motion. In addition to adding parameters to keyframes which isn’t even possible in fcpx, the graph editor is key to finessing animations. Thanks for the question. -Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

[@youlikemyshorts8039]

Why not just do all of this in Final Cut Pro? Am I missing something or can this all be done there?

[@AVUltra]

You do t have the animation graph in fcpx- which makes a massive difference.

[@AVUltra]

Also want to point out- you technically CAN- so I don’t want to dissuade you. But it’s a lot harder.

[@youlikemyshorts8039]

AV-Ultra thank you. Just learning both programs so trying to figure out which is best for what application.

[@AVUltra]

you bring up a great point- I should do a video on "Do you need Motion" Layout the ket points of them, and why you may or may not need it at all. Thanks for the inspiration.
