Particle systems, behaviors, generators, and advanced effects in Motion 2!
This program contains over 4 hours of pro-level Motion instruction from industry recognized video expert Jamie McCallister. Building on the foundation contained in Motion 101: Mastering Motion 2, Jamie delves into the deep secrets of using Motion 2.
The program starts with a detailed explanation of how to use text to for title sequences and other creative displays - don't forget, text is the main way to visually impart information to your viewers, and understanding how text works in Motion is a mandatory skill!
The program moves on to explore behaviors and particle systems which let you create complex visual displays in a matter of minutes. You'll also learn how to animate and keyframe all of these creative effects, allowing your motion videos to change over time in wild and imaginative ways.
