It’s crazy to hear just how thoughtful and aware you are when it comes to responding to user feedback. Not only do you guys quickly add user requested features, but here you’re constantly acknowledging, anticipating and planning out future improvements and potential customer requests. I hope you guys go on to create even more helpful solutions to people’s problems because you seem SO customer centric and that is just incredible (and rare in business) to see. And I don’t even want to bring it up, but on top of all that offering a Lifetime License is just 😇✨
Hey bro! I just wanted to thank you. I've e been following you since summit 1.1 and found your channel again. I learned a lot from you and know i work in motion graphics and media content. Thanks brother! 🤜🤛
Bahaha I mean, we wouldn't say no! 🤩🤩🤩 That's a big compliment! (btw these builds are me + two buddies: Luuk and Cam, so don't give me all the credit ** haha it's crazy amounts of work, but there are three of us devs on the project now)
@@mtmograph please make a tutorial like masterclass style 40mins to an hour long considering how a beginner would approach to use this tool. Those who are pro, they know their stuff but those who are starting after effect, having such detailed guide would increase it's appealing. It's an amazing tool guys.
In many ways, you're doing a better job of updating Adobe's tools than Adobe is. 3rd party developers are the heart beat of why AE is still worth using in 2023. cheers
That would only be a massive loss to the community of users. One of the most well known companies in the world has no shortage or difficulty attracting great talent. If Adobe was to scoop up a man like him (+ his buddies) they wouldn't allow him to create and implement 98% of these fundamental features. Adobe takes years to include basic/common sense features and fixes for things thousands of people ask for and struggle with regularly. Lol, if Adobe hired all the amazing Devs creating top tier plugins like these AE would be in a much worse state than it is today.
Awesome! Very recently adopted Motion into my workflow and super happy with it. The emitter would be incredibly useful if there was a way to control how the particles are affected by gravity as well.
We'll check this out - would be sweet 👍 we're working on angle of emission, library presets, custom sprites and some better color parameters. Can def see Gravity properties getting added too. Ty friend!
Amazing tool !! I use it in every project I have started from V1 of motion. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into it I would like to suggest for the new emmiter tool to have an option to see the comp in the preview while recording. so it will be easier to make the animation related to objects in the scene . Maybe something you can toggle on or off if needed. Thank you ♥️
Suggestion: When we add the "Dynamics" effect to a group of multiple selected layers, it should give us ONE MASTER CONTROL layer for all of the selected layers. You could also implement an "alt-click" option for this. I think a lot of ppl would love this.
Love the update! great work team. If I can request one feature... I do weeks/months on the road and I'm often off-grid in the deep mountains and deserts. I always try to remember to keep my app open so Motion 4 will load but I've had it crash or had to restart and if I have zero service to connect I can't get Motion 4 to load because it requires internet to activate. I REALLY need a work around for this before my next off-grid trip. My starlink and phone doesn't work everywhere. I'd happily pay a fee to turn that connection requirement off. Thanks!
Appreciate the kind words! We'll check out a "nomad mode" ⛰️🏜️ not sure what is possible yet. There should be a 14 day offline period; but we can look at increasing duration. Also sweet lifestyle - sounds dope! 🤘
Great stuff! Thank you for making our lives (a tonn) easier. What if we upgrade a keyframe cloning tool by adding one peculiarity: if I want to clone keyframes of some property to other layers but with an offset. E.g. I've got a few layers offset randomly on the timeline and I added simple scale animation from 0 to 100 from the starting point of the layer. And then I want to add the same animation to the starts of all other layers (which have been offset already). That would help a lot!
We can do probably do that somewhere in the next update or, two-ish 👍 Also planning to have custom sprites, more color possibilities, and emission angles in the next builds. Appreciate the suggestion and stopping by the channel friend!
Hi, Just 2 points - 1 :: I don't know if it's me but seems have a bug with Delay tools, I watch tutorial but impossible to have a result here with 3 simple square. Always the same message "Not enough selected layers" but I have 3 layers ! I don't understand the problem - 2 :: A GOOD POSSIBLE UPDATE will be to have always visible when "Tools" open the 3 buttons "Composition Timeline Anchor+" just above" Swatches Focus etc ..". - Painful to have to return all the time to the home of the plugin, only 3 click and not 5 like actually : Home, Timeline, Move mouse, Close, Tools. - Ok there is Pin Tools but maybe better UX, just a idea. - Last point, is it possible to change the shortcut "a" to seek timeline? InFrench version "a" is not possible Thanks
Hello, Mt. Mograph team! I purchased Motion4 in 2021 with a one-time payment. I noticed that the payment model has now changed to monthly/annual subscription plans. I'd like to know how this affects users who previously bought the product. Will we continue to have lifetime access to the plugin, or will we need to switch to the new subscription model?
Happy to answer your question! If you already owned a Lifetime License, nothing changes. All your tools will continue to work, like normal! 🙏 After 11 years of making plugins, I wanted to try to "grow up" the company and build bigger creative tools. And, with all the crazy world price changes over the last year or two, our development costs have tripled or more. After a lot of thought, we decided to change the pricing model for new users. So we could cover our own expenses easier and afford to develop new bigger software in the future. As a company, we have never had a consistent revenue, which has made it tricky to operate. I'm hoping to build and deliver cooler, more helpful tools. I tried hard to keep the cost reasonable, and hope you support this change. I appreciate you using Motion-4 and hope you continue to enjoy it!
I feel the plugin is becoming over-bloated! I don't want simulations, that's not why I bought Motion for. We already have particular and other robust tools for this!
Im sorry but.. why implement a bunch of gimmicks that nobody asked for instead of some QOL or productivity tools? If i want a particle emitter.. i get one. But i want time saving tools like copy paste keyframe data, unprecomp, (true)duplicate comps, change a selected pre-comp dimensions and length, etc. there is like 50 small tools i would implement before id think about a particle system
🤔 hmmm what do you mean? Updates would add more new tools + much better UI + modularity so you could customize whatever you like. Still all free and included!
Guys please bring some kind of keyframing parent into motion! I used to have a script that did it but was super buggy and had to give up on it. Keyframing the parent would be a gamechanger!

Freaking awesome! Motion is still the only "must buy" plugin for AE. Worth every penny. I still use it daily after all these years
Heck yes! 🤩 Hope it's meeting expectations and appreciate your support on the project friend!
Awesome! ❤ Motion and Overlord, can’t work without ‘em.
Hey bro! I just wanted to thank you.

Wow great update!! The pulling of the ease from an excisting layer is huge btw
Love these breakdowns. Would love to learn even more, so keep them coming!
Adobe, Please hire this amazing guy and give him creative freedom with redesigning after effects tools and interface. Amazing Work.
Bahaha I mean, we wouldn't say no! 🤩🤩🤩 That's a big compliment!

Awesome update! I'm ridiculously excited for the ability to move my favorites around 😅
I love Motion. Is my go to plugIn. I use it every time I'm working. It saves so much time and it has so many tools built in.
Fantastic, honestly Motion is really THE plugin
Just purchased the other day. Yay for updates!
Woohoo! Appreciate the support ✌️

@@mtmograph That sounds awesome!
The best motion graphics plugin get's even better
🤜🤛
Please add these two
1. The ability to merge the shape layers back into one
2. Function to shift layers in the timeline, like shift layers script does
Amazing tool !! I use it in every project I have started from V1 of motion. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into it

Dude..with the amount of features Motion has, it can almost be a stand-alone software on its own
Thanks for the rad words! ... we're thinking about something 🤫
Very nice! :) Thanks for the great summary
Thanks for checking it out ✌️
this is crazy good. thank you for an update
Thanks for checking it out - hope you enjoy 🤜🤛
Would love the option when breaking text into letters words or lines, to result in text Layers, OR Shape layers.

would be great to be able to link the emitter to a moving object so it's follows it, because here it's really random..
We can do probably do that somewhere in the next update or, two-ish 👍 Also planning to have custom sprites, more color possibilities, and emission angles in the next builds. Appreciate the suggestion and stopping by the channel friend!
@@mtmograph is the V4 compatible with After Effect 2019? i have installed it, but it's not showing up in the extensions..only the V3
So cool!!
you should add push easing like you have a button to pull easing
Amazing!!!!!!😁😁😁 Can't believe I didn't have this tool a while ago...
What's canvas though?
I missed that
Welcome back. You sound 10 years older.
Ty friend! I feel 10,000 yrs. 😱
Would love to see a tool to split words into their own layer but keeping them as text instead of shapes!
This 100%! I like to lay out my text and then break it to animate it on, but I lose the ability to use text animators when I break it using Motion.
The maximize/minimize panel doesn´t work on my Keyboard, tried every key. Isn´t there an UI Button for this function?

cursor issue not fixed :(, when I select another tool other than an arrow, say pen, hand, anchor point, the cursor either blinks or shows an arrow

am reporting bug when i open motion 4 panel mouse cursor keep flickering
2D Physics please!
Motion 4 doesn't work on after effect 2022 version
I've come back here after yeeaars, I have Motion 2...is there a way for me to upgrade to this version of Motion ?
There are moments in life when a man has to say "fuck me sideways" and this is one of those moments.
im a dev too.
do you think it'll be easy for you
to convert this CEP to UXP?
how's your process? 🤔
I feel the plugin is becoming over-bloated! I don't want simulations, that's not why I bought Motion for. We already have particular and other robust tools for this!
Outside of how feature rich and incredibly useful this extension is, the UI/UX of this tool makes AE look uglier after every update lol
🙏 trying our best and thank you very much!

Sir , please come to davinci resolve and enlighten us ..
After effects engine is too old and outdated that it is limiting your capabilities
I love the tool it's freakin awesome, but don't make this tool a library please.
🤔 hmmm what do you mean? Updates would add more new tools + much better UI + modularity so you could customize whatever you like. Still all free and included!
make it free 👎👎👎
