Motion comes jam-packed with a huge variety of very hot motion graphic effects. This tutorial shows you how to ignite these awesome Filters, Particle Systems and Replicators to fill your frames with kinetic energy and action... In this fourth tutorial in our Motion 5 introductory series Michael Wohl has created a masterpiece. Motion comes jam-packed with all kinds of Filters, Generators, Particle systems and Replicators and Michael explains, dissects and explores all of them in grand detail. First he looks at Filters: how to apply them, manipulate and customize them. Next there’s a section devoted to the Generators. Michael helps you learn about all the different kinds of in-program, generative source materials that Motion offers, and how to modify and apply them into your Motion 5 workflow. Smoke, fire, sunbeams, rain, or a blizzard of electrified, purple snowflakes is what Particle Systems are all about. Motion 5‘s vast collection of particles combined with the unlimited ways to animate them is fertile ground for those with creative minds! With Michael Wohl at the controls you’ll learn how to create these impressive particles and construct mind-bending, powerful multi-cell Emitters that will blow you away! Need more?
