Master Motion - Even If Motion Graphics Scare You

Purchase

Motion scares a lot of us. If your face goes pale and skin turns clammy when someone asks you to "add a few motion graphics to spice this up" -- then this is the tutorial for you! Larry Jordan's goal for this session is to remove the fear of using something new, show you how to use Motion, and give you concrete examples you can use to put Motion to work in your own projects.

Don't avoid Motion just because you don't understand it. In this training, you'll master the Motion interface, discover the power of Motion templates, create simple, yet effective, animated lower-thirds, and design elegant full-screen animated titles using resources from the Motion Library. This session can remove your fear of Motion forever -- and give you a reason to finally let go of LiveType.

NOTE: This session does not discuss particles, replicators, or 3D space in Motion.
