Thank you for this, awesome video! If I ever need to put these effects that I created on another Mac, or wipe down my current Mac and reinstall everything, how does one back these up, then reimport them into Final Cut Pro?
10:15 Thank you so much! I've been using Apple Motion for two years and I never knew this. I always struggled with it, so this is a huge help. You're my hero!
Something that might be easy to overlook for anyone coming from any other software like After Effects: this whole thing was realtime, no pre-rendering, waiting for a frame to update (or frames progress bar on top of the timeline), skimming and moving and animating is a breeze, almost nothing chugs for the most part even on quite complex projects (minus DoF and Motion Blur high settings). Happy to see this channel is exploding, the second 10K chunk seems to have happened at a fraction of the time of the first 10K hope it continues on like this. Thanks for such an approachable to tutorial.
I know I'm late to the party since you made this vid over a year ago, but I simply had to comment. I have been designing and developing for the web for over 2 decades. I have ALWAYS wanted to create my own motion graphics without having to rely on other people's assets. But I could never wrap my mind around keyframing. This is literally THE only tutorial that has ever made sense of it for me. Thank you so much!!! 💜
I think this is the year I start learning Apple Motion. I kind of have FCP down pat, and want to really up my game on motion graphics. This playlist is the PERFECT way to get going!
Gonna explore your other tutorials. I liked the pace and detail of this video. I'm a bit on the challenged side; but that's why we can pause or slow down the video/audio. This video accomplished the basics of everything I need to know, to get started using motion.
Thanks! I made the rectangle and follow along a bit, and then I branched off and freestyled and was able to make what I wanted to !! I needed to make a scoreboard for my tennis channel, thanks for the help!!
CHANGING THE ANCHOR POINT, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. I was making a highlight animation a few weeks ago and trying to make it appear left to write was awful (I made a bunch of really big rectangle masks), I didn't think about shifting the anchor point, your brain is massive
Dylan this is fantastic! I'm a bit confused with the background though. My button appeared in the middle of the screen once published in Final Cut Pro. How do I know where I'm working in relation to background?
2:33 How to scale the text from the center of the text. Even I change the anchor point to center or top of the text, when scale still from the bottom so please advice.
You did a really good job with this video. I just started learning Final Cut Pro and Motion and have been watching videos from other content creators, but your was very well done, to the point and at just right the speed that made it easy for me to learn.
Thanks, that was nice and easy to follow. I started a channel recently and so have been learning how to edit in Final Cut. Now I've got a decent grasp of the basics I'm super excited about getting stuck into Motion and really honing in on a visual style that's my own rather than relying on stock stuff. That list at 5:49 oooooh the creative possibilities...! Subscribed x
Thanks for the no nonsense lesson. Speaking of buttons, how might I give a rounded button a 3D look? The Bevel Filter seems to square off the corners for some reason.
Hey, I made it on your list in the description! Thanks for the Motion refresher! I did my first ever project awhile back and have been wanting to get back into it but I had already forgotten what little I knew!
Awwww yeahhhh!! Your name also shows up in the last two videos before this one! Appreciate your support 👊 Hopefully you can make the Motion 5 livestream on august 1st!
I’ve been studying through my Final Cut and Motion user guides and I came across your video and it helped me so much that I can now do animations and I’m getting really used to using Motion since I just recently bought it for my Mac back in November. I’m currently learning to get into filming and editing since I run a 2nd RUclips Channel for my adventures and documentaries.
Hey man, I love your channel, I've been learning and watching religiously. Question though, I successfully made this subscribe button but it's on the bottom of my screen when I need it at different locations depending on the video. is it easy to move it around after it's made? it's making all the pieces out of wack when I try to. THANKS!
Hi Dylan. you have some epic content especially in Motion. One quick question, on your timeline it shows the keyframes in between the groups etc, is this something you have to enable as they dont show up on mine? which is handy for shortening the length etc. keep up the great wok man!
Yes! I wish I had mentioned that in this video. If you go to the top right corner of the timeline, you will see a small diamond icon with a line through it to a solid diamond. That will activate keyframes on the timeline. Hope that makes sense!
Hey Dylan, Would you mind elaborating on the 'Type' parameter (Green Markers) for publishing? I'm still unclear as to why they are added at the beginning (end of animation entrance) and before the ending (beginning of exit animation)? Why couldn't I just add them at the VERY beginning and the VERY ending of the whole clip?
hi dylan, thank you so much for your tutorial! actually, all of your tutorials!! i followed everything, opened up final cut and the subscribe button was there, but it is giving me that awful red !T error. i checked my finder and it is in (the motion templates>)titles folder. ive tried to resave it, restart motion and final cut, but nothing is working. any suggestions? thank you so much in advance!
hi, I am a beginner of apple motion. I am trying to do simple text trim effects for karaoke lyrics but unable to do in apple motion. If you can help on this.
Would you mind elaborating on the 'Type' parameter (Green Markers) for publishing? I am also unclear as to why they are added at the end of the Button Click (but yet you have us select "Build In - Opt) and then at the beginning of the Button sliding off the page (but yet you have us select "Build Out - Opt)? Also, when you "Click" a button on a computer screen, the button usually animates inward of shrinks, not outward/expands?
The build in and build out types specify the timing of the animation to Final Cut Pro. If you don't add those markers, FCP will automatically stretch out the length of the animation to match the duration of your title you add to the timeline. For example, a 2 second animation add to an FCP timeline and then stretched to 4 seconds would slow the animation to 50%. Also by setting it to optional, that allows you to enable/disable the intro/outro animations should you choose to. So if for example, you didn't want the intro animation on a title, but still wanted the outro, you could do that directly in FCP without needing to jump into Motion to make any adjustments. As for the animation choice, you're right! Usually a button shrinks when clicking. However, I chose to scale outward as it makes the subscribe button appear larger and catch your eye more. This was purely just a choice to make the title more visible, and less about having an accurate animation. Hope that clears things up!
@@TheFinalCutBro thank you for your reply. You answered part of my question. The part of the “Markers” that I’m still not understanding is the placement and terminology: for example, why is the first one placed at the beginning of the button click sequence, why isn’t it at the start of the entire animation (especially if it sets it up to be optional)? And the term s “Build-In” sounds like something that is at the start/ likewise, “Build-Out” sounds like something that should be at the ending. I know FCPX came up with the term/name for those types of markers, but there must be away to analyze what they mean? Again, the main thing that I didn’t understand (and still don’t) is the placement of the marker in the middle of the animation (at the button-click) instead of at the beginning of the Subscribe sliding onto the screen?

no bullshit, straight to the point. just quality content and this is so helpful.
I have been trying to understand Motion but nobody explains it like you so thank you Dylan.

Marvellous job, Dylan. Within 20 mins of downloading the thing, I was away. Thanks.
Thank you for this, awesome video! If I ever need to put these effects that I created on another Mac, or wipe down my current Mac and reinstall everything, how does one back these up, then reimport them into Final Cut Pro?
Thank you for this video! Just got apple motion yesterday and created my subscribe button by watching this video. Here’s to creating 🥂
Motion 5 is incredibly powerful. Recently finished up a job for a client and your videos helped.

This was so helpful. I’ve never tried to use motion but your tutorial has made me want to dive into it! Thank you!!!

Really appreciate all the work you put into these tutorials, they've helped me out a ton. cheers :)
Was ein Ehrenmann
Great stuff! 2 years later and this tutorial still helps!
I think this is the year I start learning Apple Motion. I kind of have FCP down pat, and want to really up my game on motion graphics. This playlist is the PERFECT way to get going!
I’m so glad you’re here :) you give me faith that apple can keep up with Adobe and therefore I can :) this is such an easy “get started” video.
Thank you so much, I just got motion today and followed your tutorial with no problems!
I appreciate the zooms on the selected tools and adjustments. It helps to see what is being done.
Gonna explore your other tutorials. I liked the pace and detail of this video. I'm a bit on the challenged side; but that's why we can pause or slow down the video/audio. This video accomplished the basics of everything I need to know, to get started using motion.
This is so easy to understand! You explain apple motion so well! Thank you!
Hey Dylan, Newbie with a HUGE learning curve...I see me visiting your channel quite frequently. Thank You for your tutorials!
You're the man, Final Cut Bro!
Thanks, Dylan! Encouraging start to Apple Motion.
Made my first animation tonight! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you so much! I've been wanting to add buttons to my videos and had no idea how so this is super helpful!!
Awesome tutorial, easy straighforward and very handy!
Dylan, you are an exceptional teacher. Bravo!

Great introduction to this program.
Great crash course. Spot on! If I had to choose a celebrity doppelganger, I'd say you're a dead ringer for Otto Waalkes.
Thanks Dylan! Good job, demonstration and explanation 👍

My brain might be massive, but it's also very smooth. 😂 Appreciate you! 👊

Does it also work with anything else, or is it just Final Cut?
Can you render anything out in motion as an .mp4 out of interest?
