Apple has updated Motion with support for ProRes 4444 XQ, improved sequence text behavior, and enhanced contrast filter parameters.
Designed for video editors, Motion 5 lets you customize Final Cut Pro titles, transitions, and effects. Or create your own dazzling animations in 2D or 3D space, with real-time feedback as you work.
Breakthrough Speed and Quality
• Dual-GPU optimizations for superior real-time playback performance and faster rendering on the new Mac Pro
• 64-bit architecture supports deeper, multilayered effects for use in Final Cut Pro
• ColorSync-managed color pipeline produces accurate, consistent color across applications
• Shared Render Engine provides consistent quality with Final Cut Pro and Compressor
• Rendering uses floating-point, linear-light color space for exceptionally realistic results
Editor-Friendly Design Tools
• Work fast using a single-window interface with a familiar look and feel
• Customize Final Cut Pro titles, effects, and transitions by opening them in Motion
• Create Smart Motion Templates with simple controls for making changes as you edit
• Build stunning 2D and 3D compositions with more than 1900 Apple-designed elements
• Make adjustments to any parameter during playback and instantly see results
Easy Animated Text and Titles
• Design dramatic text effects with complete control over position, opacity, rotation, and more
• Animate text instantly by choosing from more than 200 text behaviors such as Type On
• Build a credit roll by importing a text file; the Scroll behavior optimizes the speed for you
• Move, scale, or rotate a single character with the Adjust Glyph tool
• Ripple text one character, word, or line at a time with the Sequence Text behavior
Stunning Effects
• Choose from more than 230 behaviors for natural-looking motion without programming
• Enhance your 2D or 3D animations with more than 130 filters using the FxPlug standard
• Track a moving object in a video clip with the point tracking and match move feature
• Create an accurate chroma key in a single step with the new Keying filter
• Apply the Linking behavior to make parameters for one object animate related objects
• Use SmoothCam to eliminate camera jitters, and image stabilization to smooth bumpy shots
• Use third-party FxPlug plug-ins with custom interfaces and dual-GPU support on the new Mac Pro
Effortless 3D
• Transition from 2D to 3D space by adding a camera or cameras to any 2D project
• Set up realistic shadows that animate dynamically with the movement of cameras and lights
• Turn any shape, video plane, or paint stroke into a reflective surface
• Highlight or de-emphasize various objects by defining a range of focus
• Track objects or groups of objects with the Camera Framing behavior
Quick, High-Quality Output
• Export projects to Apple devices and popular websites such as Vimeo and YouTube
• Choose to output the ProRes 4444 format for uncompressed quality at small file sizes
What's New In This Version:
• Support for Apple ProRes 4444 XQ
• Improved Sequence Text behavior for animating characters, words, and lines
• Enhanced Contrast filter parameters for refined adjustments
You can purchase Motion from the App Store for $49.99.
