Motion 5: Fast Forward - iTunes/iPad Edition

Motion 5 Fast Forward is our flagship tutorial that sets the groundwork for learning how to create user-customizable titles, transitions and effects in Final Cut Pro X.  Imagine the possibilities of creating animated titles in Motion, then saving them so they appear in, and can be applied and modified in Final Cut Pro. Imagine the possibilities of designing and creating custom effects and transitions then giving the Final Cut Pro X user control over the look of the effect or transition. In this introductory tutorial, Mark Spencer will empower you with the skills necessary to confidently create titles, transitions and effects for any Final Cut Pro X project.

Motion 5 Fast Forward is presented in 15 individual lessons with a running time of just under 3 hours. The tutorial also includes project and media files for following along in Motion 5. Each lesson focuses on building fundamental Motion skills such as working with groups and layers;  animating with keyframes and behaviors; working with text, shapes, replicators and masks; applying filters and publishing your finished Motion creations to Final Cut Pro X.

Experience our Training on the iPad

The iPad is revolutionizing the way people access and interact with media. Video training is therefore a natural fit for people who want their training on the go or on a separate device from their main system. Because of the limited storage capacities of the iPad, we have labored to keep the movie sizes as small as possible while maintaining our high standards of image and sound quality. And perhaps best of all, you don't need to be connected to the internet to watch our tutorials on your iPad.
