Your graphics in Motion.
Designed with editors in mind, Motion features a streamlined interface that lets you easily create titles, transitions, and effects for Final Cut Pro.
Advanced color grading
Adjust hue, saturation, and brightness with the same advanced color wheels available in Final Cut Pro. Use color curves and hue/saturation curves in combination with the eye dropper to target and alter specific color ranges. And precise keyframe controls let you adjust color corrections over time.
Custom LUT filters
Easily convert between Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020 color spaces using camera Look Up Tables (LUTs) in Motion. You can also apply custom LUTs from professional color grading apps like DaVinci Resolve and popular websites like PremiumBeat to instantly give your graphics a unique look.
360° video.
A new spin on your projects.
Motion features a robust 360 VR motion graphics workflow with real-time output to a VR headset, so you can design 360° titles, generators, and filters that perfectly map to your VR scene. Instantly apply those effects to your Final Cut Pro timeline or share to YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo.
Tiny Planet. A twist on perspective.
Create mind-bending effects with 360° video in non-360° projects. Adjust tilt, pan, roll, and field of view for spherical looks and animations. Then apply keyframes for perspective-inverting effects that change over time.
Powerful design tools.
Motion features a real-time design engine that lets you see your work immediately, along with a deep set of tools and content for creating and animating complex motion graphics.
A 2D and 3D view of your titles.
Easily create beautiful 2D and 3D titles that you can animate with drag-and-drop behaviors and intuitive text animation tools.
Stunning effects.
Just drag and drop to assemble impressive animations, with a choice of more than 200 filters and effects built into Motion. Then fine-tune your work with precise controls.
Comic filter
Give any photo or video a comic book aesthetic. Choose from three styles to instantly create color, grayscale, or monochrome artwork. Then refine the effect by adjusting ink edges, fill, and smoothness.
3D
Instantly transition from 2D to 3D space by adding a camera or cameras to any 2D project while preserving your 2D groups. Animate and adjust the cameras to create smooth, realistic 3D movement.
Shadows
Set up point lights and spot lights to cast shadows across objects. Fine-tune shadow appearance by specifying colors and edge types. When you set your elements in motion, shadows animate dynamically with the movement of objects and lights.
Reflections
Turn any shape, video plane, or paint stroke into a reflective surface. Add blur to soften reflections and use the Falloff feature to fade reflections as the object moves away from the light.
FxPlug
FxPlug is a powerful Apple‑designed plug‑in architecture for filters and effects. Choose from more than 130 built-in FxPlug filters and generators. And explore the thriving ecosystem of third‑party FxPlug effects that work in Motion and Final Cut Pro with custom interfaces and incredible real‑time performance.
Third-party tools to make your workflow flow.
Choose from thousands of custom transitions, titles, and motion graphics. Work directly with powerful applications through workflow extensions in Final Cut Pro. And take advantage of other third-party tools for advanced tracking, EDL and AAF interchange, and more.
