Apple Updates Motion With Advanced Color Grading, Core Text Engine, Comic and Tiny Planet Filters

Apple has released an update to Motion that brings advanced color grading, new filters, improved text rendering, and more.

Designed for video editors, Motion is a powerful motion graphics tool that makes it easy to create cinematic 2D and 3D titles, fluid transitions, and realistic effects in real time.

What's New In This Version:
Advanced color grading
• Use color wheels in 1-up or 4-up layouts to quickly adjust hue, saturation, and brightness
• Apply professional color curves to make ultra-fine adjustments to color and contrast
• Hue/saturation curves let you select and change a specific hue or brightness level while leaving other parts of the image unchanged
• Use the eye dropper with the color and hue/saturation curves to quickly sample parts of an image for adjustment
• Apply custom LUTs from popular color grading apps and sites
• Adjust color corrections over time with precise keyframe controls

Comic filter
• Instantly turn any photo or video into a comic book illustration
• Choose from a variety of styles to create color, monochrome, or grayscale artwork
• Refine the comic book look with simple controls to adjust ink edges, fill, and smoothness

Tiny Planet filter
• Add the Tiny Planet filter when adding 360º video to a non-360° project to create interesting spherical looks
• Use the Z and X Rotation parameters to wrap your tiny planet effect into an infinite cylinder
• Adjust the Y Rotation parameter to move your subject horizontally within the tiny planet
• Animate the field of view to transition from a close up to a satellite view flying high above your footage
• Give generators and titles a powerfully warped look by applying the Tiny Planet filter

Core Text engine
• Core Text engine ensures accurate display of Arabic letters, Indic vowel signs in Devanagari, and Thai diacritics
• Correct rendering and animation of emoji, thin glyphs, capital letters in various point sizes, and vertical text are joined and tracked correctly


You can purchase Motion from the App Store for $49.99.
