Text Behaviors, Text Sequences - Apple Motion Professional Training 03 by AV-Ultra

Behaviors are one of the great features in Apple Motion. It allows me to create complex animations that can be applied to several properties and formats of text layers.
In this tutorial I cover the following topics:
0:00 introduction
0:42 What are Text behaviors?
2:32 How are they different from regular behaviors?
4:02 Using Text behaviors
5:22 Applying text behaviors
7:52 Adjusting text behaviors
8:32 Retiming text behaviors
14:02 Creating a custom text behavior

As more people start using Motion I think everyone is realizing this is the most complete series for learning motion.

[@AVUltra]

Thank you for your kind words. Motion has brought me opportunities and quality I never thought possible- for $50.

[@RonaldKasper]

Just bought Motion and I'm fascinated by the possibilities. Thanks for these tutorials!

[@vinays4037]

You deserve a lot more credit than you get Stanislaw. Just into the 3rd tutorial, I am finding it very fascinating and loads of helpful. Thanks a ton, man.

[@AVUltra]

Wow, thanks!

[@RussDnB]

Motion is so ridiculously underrated. Love this video, thank you.

[@AVUltra]

I believe it was at least 10 years ahead of its time and adobe has just started copying how the template stuff works.

[@RussDnB]

@@AVUltra No question. And the way it runs on Apple Silicon. So smooth!

[@unchaineddreameralpa]

Thanks for showing what happens with various options. That helps us understand and experiment

[@Alex_Nicolas1]

on the third video, thanks for all the helpful info

[@zoltanbodo8266]

This is so amazing! Thank you for showing and explaining!

[@stoom7606]

All your tutorials are so clear and useful!

[@axlcinema]

Dude, these are awesome. Thank you so much for these tutorials. I’m coming from an AE background and I’ve been wanting to learn Motion because I use FCPX, these tutorials are making it simple. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@AVUltra]

Thanks! Incidentally that’s why I started doing these. I’m an adobe certified trainer and saw motion and realized I could do about 85% in motion and it perfectly integrates with fcp. I’m just now finishing the outlines for a whole new set of lessons that cover the more typical uses lime stabilization, proper compositing, and other vfx items. Glad to hear you have liked them. It’s challenging to make them approachable to everyone as some people will understand keyframes animation and other have never animated before so I strive to strike a balance.

[@axlcinema]

AV-Ultra well you’re doing a fantastic job. Still going through these lessons but I’ll look out for your new ones!!!

[@thisismyalias]

AV-Ultra Hey! Can you already say when new lessons are coming out? Can’t wait!

[@stoom7606]

Thank you so much for these tutorials! Super clear and helpful :D

[@diegogdias]

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

[@mandohuerta73]

Great tutorials. I’m new to Motion. I’ve been looking for a textbook for the most recent revision of Apple Motion but haven’t found any. These videos really help. Thank you!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. Hope it helps you make lots of great stuff with it! Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

[@SwanSycorax]

Love these tutorials. Very well put together, easy to follow and relevant. Thanks. The only difficulties I have had following are due to changes in the Motion interface as I am starting with a later release.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the kind words. I agree theres a bit of interruption in flow due to the version differences. My apologies. I had been waiting for apple to release a new version to hopefully get ahead of this problem but seems it has backfired as a new release hasn't been announced officially yet. Thanks for checking out these lessons. -Stan

[@busimo]

Was almost finished your video at 11:40 PM with earphones on and your outro slide-up with the swoosh sound scared the fuck out of me. No kidding.

[@AVUltra]

+Business Momo Gotta keep people on their toes. Make sure they are paying attention :) Kinda joking- kinda not. Apologies for the scare.

Great work, thank you!

[@4thwalltvandfilm]

Sweet. Thank you.great video

[@kadardokadardo3995]

thanks a lot man.. very useful

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching and if theres anything specific you are looking to learn- drop me a line. If its broad enough, theres a good chance I'll cover it. -S

[@8282exodus]

Really helpful !..

[@haleycopes7644]

you rule. thank you so much

[@AVUltra]

Hope it helped! Thanks for watching. -Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

[@FlyfisherFilm]

You did a very clear and helpful tutorial. Looking forward to see more from you.

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for checking it out- hope you enjoy the rest. -S

[@FlyfisherFilm]

It seems like you are thinking about almost everything a newbie needs to know about Motion 5. I will go true all of your Motion 5 videos. Thank you

[@pangeavideoproduction4796]

Ok I’m hooked! Love these tutorials! When will you be offering in-depth online courses? Went to you web site via the pop up icon during thus video and it said online courses in development. When will you offer this?

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for the compliment. Currently I'm working full time as a motion graphics artist and television producer so I just haven't had the time to put those together. The hopefully good news is that I've decided to instead just keep building these lessons online and pack them in appropriate playlists as the classes. I would love to honestly take a month off and just build the classes but right now- that's not an option. If there's anything you are looking to specifically learn feel free to drop me a line and if it's broad enough I'll likely cover it. Thanks again- and apologies I can't offer more at this time. -Stanislaw

[@FlashPointHx]

I have the latest version of Apple Motion and the 'alt option' to change the slide in bracket doesn't seem to work - is there a different way to adjust this?

[@AVUltra]

Hi there- Can you be a little more specific, i'm not sure to what exactly you are referring to. Apologies for the issues. -Stanislaw Luberda AV-Ultra

[@FlashPointHx]

In this video you have a test behavior "slide in" on the Apple Motion text. You make them slide in one word at a time. Then you hit the Alt / Option key to slide the sequence bar back and forth to make the words stream in at different rates per word. But when I hit the Alt / Option key it didn't work. You also hit the Alt key to highlight a particular line - this didn't work for me either. I have version 5.4

[@AVUltra]

Ah I see now. Well after testing it right now- between 5.4 and 5.3.1 it looks like they have totally disabled it! Thats really unfortunate as it was a great fast way to visually adjust it. Sorry about that- I myself had no idea thats now gone in this version. I also dont see the change in the official documents anymore. Here's hoping they bring it back. Thanks for watching and thanks for bringing this up! -Stanislaw

[@FlashPointHx]

Thanks loving your series - hoping to animate my history podcast and this is helping out a lot

[@AVUltra]

Hey be sure to send me a link when its done I'd love to see it. Thanks for the compliment. Im right now working on 5 new lessons on motion and final cut so hopefully there will be some stuff you can use in those too. -Stanisalw

[@GladysGrace001]

awesome!

[@AVUltra]

Thanks for watching.

[@RaulVillaMusic]

Hi there, thank you for your video, I wonder if you could make a spinning vinyl loop for a music video - album cover, that'd be the only reason I would buy it for. Does it have spinning and timing control for the speed of that rotation?

[@techbymidas]

Hi, is there some way I can send you a picture of the graphics I'm trying to learn how to create on Motion? I just need help on how to go about it using the tools I've learned from your series. Thanks in advance! :)

[@AVUltra]

Sure! I’m on holiday break from some projects, and I have some time. Send it over and I’ll see what I can do.

[@enritam]

Thank you!

[@AVUltra]

Enrica- Thanks for watching. Hope it helps you make awesome stuff! -Stanislaw AV-Ultra

[@enritam]

Your tutorials are fantastic, I'm Italian and I struggle a little to understand the words but ... I look at them twice! Thanks again

[@AVUltra]

I’ve set them up to translate with captions. I unfortunately don’t know how well it does in other languages. I have also set them up in case anyone wanted to translate them they are welcome to. Apologies that I dont have proper translations and thanks again for your support

[@enritam]

I have to tell you that besides being an excellent teacher you are also very kind and nice. A warm greeting from your Italian student

[@leadingmindinstitute6399]

Thumbs up!!

[@altohed1]

very good nice

[@fire247]

How to blur in Motion

[@AVUltra]

Depends what you need. There’s several blur filters you can add and there’s project based shutter angles and motion blur you can choose from.

[@TheSFPL]

this topic is good

[@nathanpingrit3765]

So good

[@BenjaminGib]

Subbed

[@StacyScott]

But how did you get the text in the first place?

[@TheSFPL]

can you teach 3d confetti in motion

[@Veel1]

Hello, Could you help me, please. I'm trying to animate my simple text. Is there any possibility to change the speed of single character appearing in the whole text? For example, I'm adding the blur behaviour to my text and I want to change the speed of text appearing just in the end of the word (not in the whole word or line). Thanks in advance.

[@AVUltra]

Without seeing how your project is set up, I dont really have a good way to help you. You should be able to adjust the speed of your behavior in the inspector or by dragging the behavior. -S

[@Veel1]

​@@AVUltra imgur.com/G6wk1Cn here is the example. As you can see I selected the Blur In behavior would appear by character. However, I want to control that the end of the text "ext", for example, would blur in a bit later. Is that possible?

[@AVUltra]

Theres a few different options, You could adjust the text animation sequence, You could use a separate duplicated mask layer and animate it separately as a matte. Again- without actually having the project, I cant really offer too much assistance. In your particular example you can just adjust the variances and the beginning/end offset.

[@Veel1]

@@AVUltra Thanks a lot. However, I tried every of mentioned options and still no wanted outcome. Here is the explanation kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5uTq2yliN-Yf7c

[@AVUltra]

Just do it as 2 separate text layers and animate it to time. Sorry I cant help you more. Good luck, hope it works out. -S

[@ilanpretz]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗

[@minorvideofilms683]

Why i cant see the behaviors in my timeline?

[@AVUltra]

Theres a visibility button that you can view behaviors on or off. Good point I didn't mention though. I'll be sure to cover this when I re do these lessons. Thanks.

[@minorvideofilms683]

thanks,but could you tell me where.?pls

[@AVUltra]

In either the Timeline panel or in the Layer panel there is a little gear icon, make sure thats enabled, then twirl down any of the layers in either window to view your behaviors.

[@minorvideofilms683]

Thanks again

[@TheSFPL]

did you get an email from me?

[@TheSFPL]

are u there? ''

[@eti313]

I wish I had a big screen instead of this 13" laptop.
