Four courses, in the order I’d take them.
Each course builds on the one before it, so you’re never learning a feature you don’t have a use for yet. Buy them individually or buy the Motion Essentials Bundle now.

Getting Started in Motion
The building blocks: the interface, behaviors, keyframes, keying, and publishing your work to Final Cut Pro.

Warp Speed 3D in Motion
Animate logos, layered photos and artwork in 3D, and build sets with a moving camera.

Creating Replicator Effects
Turn one element into animated patterns, backgrounds and transitions you can use in Final Cut Pro.

Creating Particle Effects
Smoke, fire, snow, sparks and dust, animated in 2D and 3D and published to Final Cut Pro.
Real editors. Real results.
I wanted to learn the software in a proper, structured manner rather than relying on YouTube videos that showcase different tutorials from different individuals… After completing the course, I now have a solid basic understanding of Motion and the skills to create simple projects on my own.
This explains all the fundamentals in a thorough and concise, easy to follow way. I wish I’d found this training site sooner.
My only complaint after lesson 21 was “Is it over? I want more.” Luckily there are lots of other tutorials waiting for me.

Answer a few questions about what you make and how much you already know, and I’ll point you to the course that fits.
Every one of these is a project from the courses.
You build them yourself, step by step, with the project files included.







Hi, I’m Mark Spencer.
I teach all four courses on this path. You’ll start with the building blocks of Motion, then build 3D sets, replicator patterns and particle effects, one project at a time.
Everything you make, you can publish straight to Final Cut Pro and reuse in your own edits.
Build it once. Use it in every edit.

- 1Build it in MotionA title, a lower third, a transition or an effect, designed the way you want it.
- 2Publish it to Final Cut ProIt shows up in your Titles, Generators, Effects or Transitions browser.
- 3Drop it on any timelineChange the text, colors and timing in the inspector, project after project.
