Motion 3

Motion, an affordably priced motion graphics package by Apple, has changed the motion graphics software landscape, bringing sophisticated visual effects capabilities within reach of more people than ever before. With Motion 3, users can take advantage of new features to create sophisticated 3D environments, design painterly elements using customizable brushes and strokes, automatically create motion paths from moving images without tedious frame-by-frame keyframing, remove jarring camera movement with simple, easy-to-use tools, and animate text with 3D effects. In this best-selling, Apple-certified book, top commercial artists show you how to harness Motion's behavior-based animations, particles, filters, effects, tracking, and 3D capabilities to create professional animations, show opens, promos, and logos. As with the other titles in the Apple Pro Training Series, each chapter represents a complete lesson, with broad-cast quality projects to complete and a review section to reinforce the lesson. Companion DVD includes the media and project files needed to complete the book's projects. Readers can work through the book from cover to cover to get an entire course or they can go straight to the lessons that interest them most. Either way, they'll find the coverage they need to confront even the most daunting motion graphics tasks with Motion.
