    Loving it. Allow me to create title and others in advance.
  • Underated App

    Apple Motion makes the animating process extremely easy. You can create stunning animations from the very basic to complex, without having a lot knowledge about the craft. Moreover, Apple Motion is fun to use unlike its competitors and there isn't a steep learning curve. I truly wish Apple invested more to elevate this application. Who knows? Maybe they will in the future. And I am grateful to Motion VFX for keeping it alive.
  • Interesting companion to Final Cut Pro X

    There's a learning curve to Motion for sure but it's interesting to be able to create effects and even alter some that come with Final Cut Pro X. You can purchase more effects and transitions for Final Cut Pro X from various sites online but I'd recommend just learning how to make them yourself in Motion. The customization options are incredible.

    Learning how to use Motion takes a fair amount of time and effort, but once you understand the basics of how to use the software it opens up unlimited possibilities for creativity.
  • Python cannot be used for scripting

    It is not possible to publish the project with audio sound in the Final Cut Pro Python cannot be used for scripting.
  • It's a very good app

    Simple as that. It's a little tough to find tutorials-- either commit to reading the included documentation, or watch a channel like Dylan Bates on YouTube.
  • Very rough interface

    By CuriousMarc
    It could be a great tool, but the interface is so rough and underdeveloped that it is infuriating to use. It never does what you want, most of the stuff is hidden away in weird places, and you'll probably miss 90% of its features. Feels like one of the bad Windows apps of yore. There just hasn't been enough deevlopment work put in that app on the interface side (understatement), which is probably why they don't let you preview it.
  • I dunno how to animate

    Seems decently capable, I know how to keyframe now. Poggers.
  • 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 Firstly, Motion is very outdated.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.
