Motion 101.

I have not gone through it entirely yet but I like it very much. Very task oriented and gets you in the software (in fact compared to the ones I have about Logic, I tend to prefer this one, in particular for the narration style)

Excellent job

Very well paced. Informative and entertaining. Michael's voice is easily intelligible without being hypnotic like a few others who have had me sound asleep at the keyboard. Bring on Motion 3D.

I am very pleased with the Motion 101 content and believe it was a good investment of my time and money. I am looking forward to more information regarding 3D and other topics that were not addressed in this initial offering in a future tutorial.

Great information to get you started. Wohl is smart and interesting to listen to. My only disappointment was that he did not go into any 3D. Perhaps that will be in the next volume.

Well done Mr. Wohl! I found the tutorials got me up to speed very quickly. Michael's clear delivery and deep knowledge of the application made the learning process a breeze. I highly recommend these tutorials to anyone venturing into Motion 3 territory. SS
