Summary
Apple's Motion software changed the motion graphics landscape, bringing
sophisticated visual effects capabilities within reach of more people than ever
before. In this best-selling guide to Motion 4, readers will create eight
sophisticated projects including a 3D show promo, a network-style title
sequence, a DVD motion menu, and an actual temp effect used in Overture
Film's Traitor. Each chapter represents a complete lesson, with a commercialquality
project to work through as readers learn.
Master trainer Mark Spencer starts with the fundamentals of motion graphics
and quickly moves into compositing, animation, motion graphics design, visual
effects design, and the world of 3D. The book is fully revised to take advantage
of the software's new features: readers will explore 3D shadows, reflections,
and depth of field; 'fly' a camera from one object to another; ripple text
characters on and off the screen with ease; animate date and time sequences
automatically; and master Motion's remarkable new linking behavior. Along the
way, readers will work with particles, generators, filters, effects, templates,
greenscreen mattes, keying, tracking, paint, and more. Whether they have just
entered the field or are already an accomplished motion graphics pro, this book
will have readers designing in Motion in record time.
Motion 4 is part of Apple's Final Cut Studio suite which is now shipping and
retails for $999. The user base for Final Cut Studio is 1.4 million and growing.
