Michael sounds like he's having fun, which makes the tutorials more interesting and fun for the viewer. Thorough coverage of the basics, and much more.

Very useful tutorial! I learned just about all the basics from this in a very easy-to-understand way.

there is a great amount of info on this tutorial. I don't see easy access to downloadable tutorials or direct ways to work with apple tutorials that come with the software.

Really helpful and way easier than reading the online manual that comes with Motion.

I really enjoyed Michael Wohl's training video on Motion 3. He is very informative with a upbeat tone of voice so you never end up bored or tired watching it. You can easily go back to the training video when you are stuck on a certain aspect in Motion 3 and use it as a 'hand's on reference tool'. Think of it as having the instructor there when you need him! Very good, I always enjoy Macprovideo's tutorials and recommend this to anyone. Please note: 3D space is not covered in this tutorial so you will need the other training companion DVD to this if you want to learn how to use that. I will be buying this asap.

Description

Motion 3 101: Core Motion 3 is produced by macProVideo.com's Lead Final Cut Studio trainer, Michael Wohl! Michael is one of the original designers of Final Cut Pro, and he's also a film maker and editor with long experience using Final Cut and its helper apps in his every day video editing sessions.

By implementing a classic macProVideo.com style of educating, Michael pulls the viewer into the educational process. Listening to Michael is like listening to your best friend teaching you how to use software.

This is a comprehensive tutorial, but you don't need to watch it all. Use the search functions and detailed menus to quickly find important topics - that's the essence of Nonlinear Educating using N.E.D.!
