[@coppensbram]

Totally agree on everything here 😊 I absolutely love Motion. Building your own templates and effects for FCP is so satisfying. Saved me SO much time in projects!

[@kmt488]

You should do a full course on Apple Motion for beginners! I would definitely pay for it.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

In the works!

[@HistorySeekers]

Incredible channel! I am a VERY basic editior and was surfing through various videos when I came across you multi cam video. That led me to watching many of your others! Thank you so much for making this content!

[@Hatchi-hu3jn]

i started using and learning Motion because of your tutorials and I watched your Apple Motion youtube playlist. It really help me a lot. thank you!

[@ClintonWaller]

really good to see you giving Motion 5 some love!

[@mtamech535]

Dude, you rick-rolled us! How dare you! Now let's see some of those awesome Apple Motion tricks demonstrated in a longer format...Dylan, you are the man.

[@slaingirlfound]

I feel like at this point the key frame options available in Motion should have long existed in FCPX. Thanks Dylan for your awesome videos. I’ve been using FCPX for over 10 years now and I always learn something new from your videos.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

1000%!

[@TonyJacobsenUNBREAKABLE]

All very valid points! I've been diving into Motion more over the last year and the learning curve isn't as crazy as I had imagined. Thanks for the video! P.S. - love that got Rickrolled in this! LOL

[@derkavitat]

What's up Dylan! I love your videos and no one does such great tutorials and previews to get into motion 5 like you! I have one specific question: When I have a behavior created of something, like for example of an arm lifting up for pointing on someone, can I somehow safe this behavior to reuse it in a different sequence or project? Couldn't figure it out yet where and how to do that! Thanks you and keep going, you rock!

[@davewhiting9730]

One thing I love more than Motion, is your Motion Tools plug in. Let's face it, having over 100 cool Motion effects inside of FCP is more than worth the $24.99. I save tons of time not needing to go into Motion! Thanks Dylan for making one of my most used plug ins available!!!

[@SGNetwork01]

Need to change your Lower Third to 44.K Subs!! Your the man!!

[@JamesZhan]

Another killer video! I love that you are bringing more attention to Apple Motion. For the kind of motion graphics many people do for KZbin, social media and promo videos, I believe Motion is a way better/faster tool than After Effects, especially considering the kind of FCPX plugins you can create within Motion. Not to mention Motion is soooooo much more affordable than AE!

[@festusighalo]

Motion may be a faster tool, but it's no way better than after effects. After Effects is insane!! Motion is the only suitable alternative to after effects tho.

[@Lucid_Luma]

please make more videos providing creative examples of whats possible in motion

[@reflexfilms]

I like the ability to control to use linear key frame interpolation- rather than curves or ease in ease out- much better for digital zooms

[@PeterKaitlyn]

Dylan, Motion is great... It is also good for creating things like client openers and closer... Things that the client needs for every video... Say, something like a company lower third with a logo & the title of the current video with an animation on either or both... Every news company on KZbin has something like that...

[@StuartHetzler]

Apple should just combine the two programs.

[@mtamech535]

I could live with them being separate, honestly. But the crapping on us by not allowing us to save audio with visual effects in FCPx is what really steams me. They really water Motion down so that audio is next to impossible to work with. I'm sure that's because they don't want people to use it as a cheaper FCPx video maker, but it still sucks hardcore.

[@slaingirlfound]

I couldn’t agree more!!

[@OriginalMasterNAI]

Yeah I thought Final Cut would include Apple Motion and Compressor it's unfortunate they're exclusive. Although the Pro Apps Bundle is quite nice and does save you $100

[@AM2PMReviews]

I need to learn it. it seems to complicated lol

[@crazytoolman]

hope that you share more Motion tutorials for beginners, thanks bro.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I share a new Motion tutorial every single week on the channel!

[@crazytoolman]

@@TheFinalCutBro 👏👏🤝

[@SRodsPlace]

Can you do similar things on apple motion that you can do on after effects?

[@bwilesuk]

I remember opening one plug-in once that was locked in Motion. Couldn’t change anything

[@marcuswarren1320]

How about a video stating Reasons to use Apple Motion even if you don't use FCP.

[@harrisonmudge]

Totally agree with this. Question I have which I’d like to see is a workflow video and how you’d recommend bouncing between the two programs. Unlike premiere and after effects it seems way more of a faff to open motion, find the clip you want to use (that’s already in your FCP timeline) get that in motion. Do the effects. Export it. Find it, drop it in to FCP. Then repeat every time you want to do that. Or am I seriously missing a much slicker solution 🙈

[@TheFinalCutBro]

You’re right! It’s way more work than it should be. That said, this video covers essentially my workflow for working back and forth between FCP and Motion. Granted, it’s not perfect by any means, but hopefully it’s helpful! The videos pretty old, so hopefully you can overlook the bad production value 😂 How To Dynamic Link In Final Cut Pro kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmXXfoOFn7yssLM

[@harrisonmudge]

@@TheFinalCutBro thanks for the video. Yeah not pretty but makes sense. 👌🏻 really baffles me why they don’t have the ‘open in motion’ option on a clip in the timeline, that would be all you need. Just add the button 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

[@musictheory4u153]

Hi do you know if you can use a control surface like a Behringer X touch to control things in Apple Motion? I can use the keys on my MIDI controller to animate things like changing the colour on an object when holding down a key. I´d like to fade in and out using the knobs or move objects around in the canvas. I´d have to be setup for each object and what knob/fadder/button controls it. With MIDI cc or something? Or will control surfaces only talk to DAWs?

[@ian_the_demon4713]

would you say its a good alternative to after effects?

[@Avy1an]

How do you save it to its own category?

[@TruthandLife77]

Does Motion change the quality of your videos when you pan and zoom with the cameras?

[@shashankkumar2340]

Is there a cohesive learning curve for Motion? Stand alone tutorials help but I'm looking for a more start-to-finish type approach. Pls direct me towards it. Also, Love your tutorials mayn!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

There's some great courses out there! You can check out Ripple Training, or Jenn Jager. They have put together some great courses that cover a lot of Motion! I am also currently working on my own course for Motion. But that likely won't be out for some time, as I am still just in the beginning stages of the process.

[@mantajsidhu]

Can anyone help me with this question- can we use Motion to add custom key frame scaling (using graphs) to an FCP clip?

[@leeahegg2377]

Apple motion and After effect, which one is better?

[@Orlik2137]

I would if it connect with fcpx like ae with pp

[@silence1s3]

Please be also the motion guy 😁 we need more videos for motion too

[@silence1s3]

"apple Motion bro"

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Already have a playlist with over 70 Motion tutorials! I also have a new Motion tutorial every week

[@silence1s3]

@@TheFinalCutBro great 👍 I'll will see them all ;)

[@vidvertise001]

I would love to use Motion again, but something happened to it and I can't get it to work at all and I've tried many supposed solutions. Can you lead me to someone who can help troubleshoot Motion? It won't start a new project, an existing project, It won't even start!

[@GolfQuestChannel]

I just wish you could send a clip to motion, make changes in motion and then have those changes automatically saved back to your FCP timeline. That would be great.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

100% Would love this! There's a decent plugin that sends FCP projects to Motion. But it's expensive and should be a built-in feature. Also, it doesn't send them back.

[@thislondonmidlife]

Having not had any experience in Motion I presumed its relationship with FCP would be similar to the After Effects/ Premiere one. The lack of that function is, for me, a fairly persuasive reason to not learn it, and instead go with plugins within FCP.

[@aks_kj]

6th reason - Mac OS optimization! Much better working on Mac OS than after effects

[@stinkleaf]

when will they add AI like Topaz?

[@ehbuddyTV]

[@throwbackmusic38]

I love apple motion and FCP, but FCP really eats a lot of my storage, that's the reason I stop using for the meantime and focus on DR.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

No problem working with DR! It’s amazing software. But if you really would rather work with FCP, this video will solve your storage issues kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6KTfaJ-aNibhNEsi=oMqWN6zyH3-VGGJ2

[@AleX-qu9ce]

do you know how to do this? In this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/e33YaaxsmrBgZsk… about 5 seconds in , how do you do the wave animation inside the lettering and about 12 seconds in , the appearance of the black background in the middle overlay, thanks, bought your course before and I still got lots to learn , thank you
