Are you enjoying Rings of Power?

[@ishaan9671]

please can you make a video regarding how can you do animation of cartoons in apple motion. There is a channel called Kurzgesagt in a nutshell and they use After Effects for that. So pleasw can you make video showing how to make animated videos like theirs but in apple motion

[@JuanNinoFilms]

Your Apple Motion tutorials are amazing! One of the few KZbinrs that post these at such high quality

[@Itsbeaucoup]

youre the only person i see doing apple motion tutorials. Can you do a tutorial on motion covert art spotify canvas/youtube visualizers?

[@APB9002]

check Simon Ubsdell, he does a lot of Motion tutorials

[@moonrakerdesign]

Used this tutorial to make our latest video intro. We knew nothing about FCPX or Motion a few months ago and with your help have been leveling up! Appreciate you sharing you knowledge and skills in this area!

[@kev_G]

Vey cool! That framing Behavior is so sweet! I think I would still end up doing a custom path to get a larger sweep between locations but for getting something really quickly it's so nice! Will definitely be playing with it.

[@DrCaptainMorgan]

Thanks Final Motion Bro! I didn't know about drawing rectangle targets for the Framing Behavior Target until this video.

[@spencersmith312]

Thank you. This video was awesome. I appreciate your work.

[@francuccino]

Thanks to you and others I started to use Motion. Can't believe all the cool stuff I have been missing. I remember getting Motion when it first came out and I felt like I wasted my money because I never used it. But now, WOW, I'm so glad that I have it.😊😊😊

[@SWExplore]

Simply amazing, Dylan! I finally know enough about Apple Motion to successfully follow along this tutorial and create my own map animation. Terrific!!! Thank you!

[@Senthiil]

Thanks a lot Dylan, it's always a pleasure to learn new things in Apple Motion from your videos.

[@venyason6816]

Just what I needed, was looking for after effect tutorial but this method looks so easy to do. Thank you!

[@chadify007]

Shoot, I just realized my issue is I haven’t been duplicating the camera animator. Since I was only using one with multiple framing animations, motion was doing all sorta of weird things. I also tried to make orient to current work, but you’re definitely right, orient to final is much better. Was having all sorts of weird glitches driving me insane haha. Wow, I must say your channel is a goldmine. Without you I would’ve been screwed (not enough motion stuff out there!)

[@arshmaheshwari1380]

I want to see the same!!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

They do some pretty incredible animation! I’ll be honest though, that’s just something I don’t know how to do. You’re going to want to watch some animation tutorial channels to learn how to do what they do. I’m not sure how much of it is possible in Motion.

[@ishaan9671]

@hill north ikr But kurzgesagt in a nutshell they use After Effects for that. That just shows how apple motion is a little outdated in the number of features as compared to after effects and fusion.

[@ishaan9671]

Fusion takes it on an whole other level. Its too over the top for 2d animation like how i was saying

[@ishaan9671]

@hill north Even i use davinci resolve its free and you have to many features to count. Its just i find fusion very confusing for a normal average video editor or a vfx artist. But if you get the hang of it then you can do wonders with it

[@JandeBloois1952]

Great tutorial, I learned a few things again, like the dept-of-field adjustment. Wonderful, thanks!

[@GwilymJames]

Love it. Would be cool if one could add topographical info like 3D mountains. Not sure if such a distort effect is possible in Motion.

[@HabaneroStudios]

Awesome. This is so great. Fantastic way of explaining, straight to the point. You really enjoy explaining things, Dylan. Thank you very much.

[@dglatz01]

OK this is super, Bro! You have single-handedly inspired me to try to learn Apple Motion. I’ve always wondered how this kind of effect was done. Now I’m going to try it. Thanks!

[@safetyhomeloans950]

please continue producing videos for Apple Motion, thanks Dylan.

[@bricksuntold]

Thank you! This is definetely something that I will try! You went little fast but I will rewatch and pause video every now and then.

[@Snaggums]

Concise and useful information, as always. Much appreciated!

[@SaftRAD]

Great, great, great! Thank you for this tutorial! I have already used this several times in my videos!

[@BecomeUseful]

This was a great tutorial. Your content, pacing and presentation are really amazing. Thanks for making such great content.

[@_tyolsen]

Dylan, I just want to say thank you for everything you do to help us. Seriously. I found you through Dusty's podcast and I'm so glad I did. I have come back to your channel over and over to learn skills for my own content and I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work!

[@doingnothingatwork]

This tutorial is really great!

[@BrickBatDad]

wow.. such at well done tutorial.. so good!

[@abdu_chouaib]

Is it possible to do a lesson on recording audio with music, such as documentaries, please?in Adobe audition if you have or in fcpx🙏

[@hughan00]

Your videos are really excellent, Dylan! Thank you so much. I know you're the Final Cut Bro 😀… but I would really love to see as many Motion videos as possible!!! In any case, keep your content coming - bravo!

[@JandeBloois1952]

It is nice to see, that if you place a 3D object on the map, like the 'rock', it just follows the perspective of the map, without having to do something about it! My next step will be making an animated line, which follows one of the rivers on the map. (well....almost!)

[@weeklyfascination]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. I just animated a simple opening sequence that gives directions to go somewhere by train. No Orcs were harmed in making this animation.

[@Crossfft]

Great tutorial, would you also make a tutorial about map outline and masking affect with map flags ? There are no tutorials on it at all in motion 5 but there are plenty in after effects which make me move to after effects :(

[@StuartHetzler]

You need more subs, man. You are just the best.

[@brucekennedy5274]

Love it. Did something similar in AE last year - looked great but took a bit of trial and error. This seems a WAY nicer workflow. Time to bust out Motion.. aw Motion, how I’ve missed ya!

[@tricarico672]

Great tutorial! Super useful, thanks!

[@michaelch5060]

This is some really cool stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@tomralin]

Amazing ! Try it the first time and it works well with a map of my hometown in the middle age ;)))

[@YoureNowOnTV]

Thanks for this video ! I didn't really know what Motion was for and never opened it on my Mac. 5 hours later and I have a finished project to impress my boss with on Monday. ☺👍

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Tell your boss you deserve a raise!

[@hakimbenchabane]

Very nice and inspiring content !!

[@fallout187]

Amazing tutorial but could you do one modifying the different camera angles? I saw you moving down the x axis but I've been trying to get 360 spins and other angles but the map just keeps flipping in all different directions. I can't seem to control the camera or the map like I would will google earth. Thanks for all the tutorials and looking forward to your next post.

[@ShapeofLight_PiotrStefaniak]

amazing, thank you Dylan!

[@MagicDragon-n1f]

Thanks you so much!

[@gorukun9087]

Hi dylan please make video on how to make video with lyrics, word should come one by one with writhem not the whole sentences at a time. Suppose singer say one word in 1 second, then that word should be on screen for 1 second, after then next word should come, and also please animate the text so people listening to it do not get bored..

[@IainAnderson]

Great tutorial, exactly the technique I've been using on a documentary recently. 👍

[@jarkendal]

Amazing video, thanks!!!

[@sarfarazshishir-h6l]

Always impressive, Dylan Bates

[@idavid2619]

Amazing!

[@jncolligan1]

This is such a great tutorial. I’ve been doing this work in Google Earth Studio, but wanted to do the same thing on historical maps. So Thanks for making this possible! That said… for your amusement… I did this tutorial a dozen times before I got it to work… I kept putting that framing and position elements in sequential order in the layers panel.. but putting ‘one’ above ‘two’ makes the second movement not work! Researching motion to better understand why the timeline behaves that way :) I’m a total motion noooob!

[@Frights666]

Awesome guide! Thanks so much for keeping this simple and to the point! 💀

[@m1k3mbm]

Would this work with a video file instead of a still image? - Like if the map had roads being highlighted with a line to show where my friends in middle earth traveled, could this workflow work on that?

[@hhhh6707]

Thank you for the video! but hey how did you rotate the background smoothly?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I used mCamRig in FCP and put it on a consistent rotation for the duration of the video!

[@dominikdelinic9951]

Is there a "import as composition" option in motion like in after effects? I work with a very big map and want to do some adjustments to this map before placing it inside a full HD Camera view. Thanks, great video love this, was looking for a video like that!

[@KevinAllgaier]

Ok, that's a GREAT tutorial!

[@nohaelbaroudy]

Hello Dylan. I love your motion tutorials. Can you maybe make a tutorial on how to incorporate voice over in a motion clip? I know how to add audio but that’s it, I can’t trim/add a gap in a sentence or shorten it, etc. I hope this makes sense.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Totally makes sense! So Motion is just not designed for audio very well. Basically all you can do is trim by using I and O for in and out points. But you can’t trim something down in the middle like you would in Final Cut Pro, unless you create multiple layers of the same audio file. Trim it down on each layer, and slide them closer together on the timeline. So I would recommend doing all your audio beforehand in something like FCP, and then import when you’re ready into Motion.

[@nohaelbaroudy]

@@TheFinalCutBro thanks a lot. at least now I know I’m not missing anything in motion’s audio department 🙈

[@ef108]

Hey Dylan, cool tutorial - thank you! But I think in step 2 and 3 while rotating the camera on the x axis you lost the red background, right? Is there a way to fix this?

[@bwilesuk]

Wish I'd known how to use Framing a couple of months ago - I ended up animating a map with just keyframes!

[@alexanderkrasnovsky]

Need a section - repeat animation from after effects ) is it possible to animate an illustration from an Illustrator in Motion?

[@AISLERTV]

Great tutorial bro . Can you also make a tutorial on how to make a magnifying glass effect in motion and use it in fcp? thanks.

[@TheMentalHealthToolbox]

Super cool! Thanks🤗🙏👏👏

[@ЖекаСтопудов-г8и]

Hello! Is it possible to make this in final cut? maybe you know some plugin or some tutorial? Thank you! 😍

[@inknpaintCW]

This is great! I was watching to see how you addressed all the elements. Super efficient and effective! Is there a way to add specific bump or texture to the image to give it a dry parchment feel? I would normally bring the image into 3D apps and animate the camera, it's focal point and DOF just to give me the flexibility with rendering textures but it would be great if I can get the same effect in Motion. As usual, great job!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I tried to get a bump map going on the map, but I was having trouble! I just don’t think Motion is cut out to do that. You probably could export a version of the map with actual displacement and import that to Motion though! (haven’t tried that)

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@reginayanito9143]

Hello Dylan, thanks for an awesome video! I have been playing with these concepts and was feeling pretty good about it until today. My framing and ramps are appearing above the timeline, in the canvas space but not in the timeline. How do I fix this? Thank you for putting out great content!

[@BraxtonHolley]

THanks Dylan

[@Al-ImprovEd2022]

You can achieve the movements without drawing the squares right? Trying to determine if they’re necessary. Great tut.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Yes you definitely can! But the squares make it the easiest to animate the camera. Keyframes can be an absolute pain, especially in 3D space. You can also use circles, or really anything you like. But the squares were easiest for me.

[@Al-ImprovEd2022]

[@UjyaloGyan]

After effect and apple motion which is the best one ??

[@willyvision]

killin it boss

[@franklinfisher497]

ive tried following this but the camera isnt going to the rectangle for the shot, its increasing the rectangle size and moving towards the enlarging rectangle. Does anyone know what to do?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

It sounds like you might not have map as a 3D layer. Make sure that it is 3D. Your rectangle likely is 3D, and so it's increasing in scale when the camera is moving forward. Hope that helps!

[@franklinfisher497]

@@TheFinalCutBro how do i make sure the map is a 3d layer? i thought everything becomes 3d when you add the camera?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

@@franklinfisher497 it’s a little bit difficult to explain the icon, but I’ll do my best! In the layers panel, look on the right side. You should see a small icon next to each layer. One icon looks like 3 rectangles of various sizes. The other type of icon looks like 3 squares at a slide 3D angle stacked on top of each other. The 3D angle icon indicates it’s a 3D layer. If it looks like 3 rectangles at different sizes, go ahead and click it and it will switch over to 3D. When you add a camera, it asks if you want to make everything 3D. It’s possible that you might have bumped no. I do that sooooo often it’s not even funny anymore 😂. Hoping that helps!
