Introduction to Motion 5

Create brilliant titles, transitions, effects, and more with Motion 5, the motion graphics companion to Final Cut Pro X. This three-day, hands-on course starts with motion graphics fundamentals and moves into compositing, animation, and the world of 3D. Explore new intelligent templates to quickly and flexibly create high-quality effects, titles, transitions, and generators as well as create rigs to adjust parameters with a single control.

• Creating Smart Motion Templates and publishing them to Final Cut Pro X.
• Creating parameter rigs to quickly adjust related parameters with a single control.
• Understanding behaviour based animation.
• Using keyframes to create animation.
• Creating content with Generators, shapes and paint strokes.
• Stabilizing and tracking media.
• Animating cameras and using advanced 3D features.

This class is designed for students who are looking to learn more about creating motion graphics using Motion and who prefer hands-on, interactive instruction.

Students should have the following prerequisite knowledge prior to attending the course:

Knowledge of OS X and basic computer navigation

Basic knowledge of editing and motion graphics terminology is highly recommended

Demonstrate your knowledge by passing the Motion 5 Level One exam and earning Apple Certified Pro - Motion 5 Level One certification.
