Motion 5 - Getting Started + More!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Hey Fam! I appreciate you stopping by more than you can know. I have so much more planned for Motion 5 tutorials. Not to mention lots of content around Final Cut Pro! So if that interests you, consider subscribing! I hope you have the most blessed day ever.

[@stephenethan1586]

I know how much time it takes to make content like this, and I am so appreciative that you spent the time to do it. This has helped so much. Thanks for all of your tutorials. I have learned so much.

[@KilianMuster]

The icon you were clicking at 12:16 is for *changing the layer group from 2D layers* (what's on top of what is decided by layer order) *to 3D layers* (what's on top of what is decided by Z value).

[@Owen_Channel_0911]

I don't know why I'm teaching this.lol🤣

[@cmbates4053]

You’re doing a great job. Also Layers Column Icons can include (from View>Layers Columns) preview,opacity, and blend mode

[@miguelcollado]

I was just 18 minutes into it, and this is already the best tutorial I’ve seen. Thank you very much.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Such a huge compliment! Thanks so much! Hopefully you found the rest of the tutorial just as good.

My god, you have the best Motion tutorials on the internet, period. Thank you so much for creating them. Even though I have Adobe After Effects, I would much rather use Motion since I'm a FCPX user and Motion is a lot more optimized for macOS. Before you came around there were barely any recent, good tutorials for it. PLEASE continue making Motion tutorials!

[@tallerdeficcion]

Sweet mother of Jesus! I’ve been looking for a quick tutorial and you just covered it all! You earned a new subscriber my guy!

Hi Dylan - great tutorial on Motion. I liked the fact that you didn't edit out the parts of Motion that you weren't sure about. Because there are parts of a software package that some times we're just not sure, but we can make it do what we need it to do. I'll be sure to watch some of your other videos. All the very best, Cheers Rick

[@DABishai]

Really great tutorial! Great introduction to motion without being overwhelming

[@MattSpaugh]

Doooooooooooood, this is so helpful. I've tried to use Motion so many times over the years and always found myself bogged down by all the options. This helped me get things sorted in my head a lot better. I'm using motion to tweak existing titles to create new ones that use specific client colors and fonts. This has been hugely helpful. Thx BRO!

[@miezeken]

[@mohmmedaljomaie]

That's a lot of great information! Really love it!❣️

[@mannyluches]

Thanks Bro! I've always been sort of intimidated by Motion but you just made it look so doable, really appreciate this tutorial and what you're doing. And the honesty when you said you dont know what that icon beside the lock button in the layers panel does is just rare... Anyway, i found that if you click on it with the HUD and with the Inspector panel in Group, it changes from Fixed Resolution to Flatten and the type changed from 2D to 3D. i think it might have something to do with 3D-ing stuff...

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Hey thanks for the insight! I actually went on to research it later and discovered that you are exactly right. I use it all the time now. It would have been a great tidbit of info for people, but definitely not the end of the world. Hopefully they will see your comment and gain the knowledge! Thanks for watching!

[@dimasta4398]

Very helpful,thank you so much)I was wondering when you save text with background to Final Cut Pro ,it has those Published Parameters I can not figure out how to move text and background together by click and move,I can only move them when I change px in published parameters, it really bother me when I do a lot of editing haha

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Thanks for watching! -- I'll do my best to explain a potential solution over a comment. But I am definitely going to be doing a future tutorial on this very thing. Unfortunately this won't be as detailed as I would want it to be! So when you're in Motion, select your background. Go over to the properties on the left side. In the position properties, right next to where you can add a keyframe, you should see a small down arrow (when you mouse over it). Click that and go down to "Add Parameter Behavior" then select the "Link" behavior. Now drag your text into the "Source Object" box. You will notice the background moves perfectly with the text now. You can offset the background's position by using the offset properties at the bottom of the link parameters. Or you can change the anchor point on your background, and that will have the same effect. When you publish your project to FCP, you should see the background element moving with the text. Hope that helps you! Feel free to reach out if you have any problems.

I am on the fence about buying Motion, any thoughts?

[@miguelcollado]

Thanks for the video. I have a major dilemma….if you cannot use a motion project in FCPX, then where and how you use the motion blank projects? 🤔 I understand you have to create a template for in motion to use in FCPX, but what about just the motion project?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Thanks for watching! The blank projects can easily be used to create VFX or 1-off animations you don't intend on using over and over. You would simply just build out the project, and then export a video of the project for final cut pro (or whichever editing software!). The great thing is, you can easily convert the project over to a title/generator/plugin etc. if you want to down the road!

[@miguelcollado]

@@TheFinalCutBro thanks but then how do you do that?

[@HDBnB1]

how do you slow down a clip in motion?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Sorry for the late response! You can slow a clip down by applying the retiming effect “set speed” under the behaviors menu. Once you apply it, it will be set to 50 percent speed, which you can change in the parameters on the left. You can also set key frames for different speeds at different moments. I will say the retiming in FCP tends to be better, but it can be done in Motion. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have anymore Q’s

Import as Image Sequence is more for use with 3D animated content. When you export from say Blender you would export as an image sequence of your timeline. This would spit out all the frames as images into a specified folder. The reason is due to computers crashing mid-render. Rendering 3D can take hours, days, or even longer. With an image sequence you could start the render off where the computer crashed with minimal loss of time. There's nothing like rendering to a video format only to get to the last second and the computer crashed corrupting the video file...ugh
