  • The Current State of Motion

    From a distance Motion looks profesional and capable, as if it can be used as a program for motion graphics, but when you take a closer look and use it for only a few hours, you start to discover things. I've been using Motion for over a year and I've always wanted to say this. Firstly, Motion is very outdated. It's visibly obvious that the developer moved there attention to other programs and never looked back. There are so many unnecessary buttons that either do something no one will ever need, or simply doesn't work at all. It's like they copy and pasted Final Cut Pro, tweaked a few things, released it, and then never looked at it again. The output options are so terrible, that if you export a video at the default settings, it'll look like a pixelated mess, so every project you have to choose between exporting it as a video that looks like it was made in 2003, or a video file that's so large you need an extra hard drive for it alone. Secondly, navigation is an absolute nightmare. Every scroll either moves too slow or too fast, and I am still trying to figure out how to zoom in and out with a trackpad. Final Cut Pro figured it out years ago, why is Motion so behind? Navigating the keyframe editor is also a mess. Nothing ever fits in the window, and when I try to simply zoom out, all my keyframes are no longer visible, and I have to go on a scavenger hunt trying to find my lost keyframes. I don't know how much more I can take of this app. I really hope Apple decides to finally update it as soon as possible.

    Nothing works intuitively and this app crashes regularly on apple m1 macs. As a professional your time would be better spent learning the dreadful adobes version of this program. The more I use motion the more I hate it. final cut is ok but this program is an awful companion. UPDATE: This is still an awful program. Feels as if it was an afterthought. Apple could have done alot better if they had focused on ease of use and intuitive design and layout. It feels like it would take a degree in this program to work it properly. Unfortunately, in order to have the proper files for final cut to be able to use extra transitions and titles that can be purchased elsewhere you have to have this program installed and have opened it at least once which is one time too many.
  • Just leave adobe already

    Still a great VFX software that is STILL ONE TIME PURCHASE! Finding tutorials is a lot more difficult than After Effects. But it's got plenty of fantastic features, you just have to learn how to use them. And the seamless way it works with Final Cut is awesome if you also use that one time purchase app!
  • Terrible with audio

    I bought Motion with the hopes of using it to create audio visualizers for my youtube channel. Unfortunately, I've found it to be basicially impossible to use on any audio longer than a minute or two. Once you import your audio, Motion needs to analyize it. Which would be fine if 1) the analysis only needed to happen once and 2) the analysis was performed quickly. But in reality, anytime you make an adjustment to any behavior in Motion, the analysis starts all over and it is slooooooooooooow. A 4 minute .m4a file takes close to 45 seconds to analyze. So for every tiny adjustment you have to wait another 45 seconds for it to complete. The audio files I want to work with are over an hour long and that means it's essentially impossible to use in Motion. Update: Just for kicks I imported an hour long .wav file into motion. It's been analyzing it for over three hours now and it's only at 58% complete. Second Update: It's been "analyzing" my 1 hour .wav file for 5 hours now and its at 69% complete. Honestly, Apple, just remove the audio functionality from this app. It's unusable.
