Course Description Create brilliant titles, transitions, effects, and more with Motion 5, the motion graphics companion to Final Cut Pro X. This three-day, hands-on course starts with motion graphics fundamentals and moves into compositing, animation, and the world of 3D. Explore new intelligent templates to quickly and flexibly create high-quality effects, titles, transitions, and generators as well as create rigs to adjust related parameters with a single control. Who Should Attend This class is designed for students who are looking to learn more about creating motion graphics using Motion and who prefer hands-on, interactive instruction. What You Will Learn Creating Smart Motion Templates and publishing them to Final Cut Pro X Creating parameter rigs to quickly adjust related parameters with a single control Understanding behavior-based animation Using keyframes to create animation Creating content with Generators, shapes and paint strokes. Stabilizing and tracking media Animating cameras and using advanced 3D features. Course Outline Note: The curricula below comprise activities typically covered in a class at this skill level.
