Description

Want to create your own custom titles, transitions, effects in Final Cut Pro? How about creating your own motion graphics? This beginner-friendly course will introduce you to the fundamentals of Apple Motion, a powerful motion graphics software. We will learn together how to create stunning animations, visual effects, and titles without any prior experience. I will guide you starting from the basic interface navigation to advanced techniques like keyframing and masking. I will also show you how to use Rigs which will help you do some complex animations.In this course, I will show you the most common filters used when creating cool motion graphics, from glitch type animation to liquid type. You will also learn how to effectively use Clones to create loop animations. Additionally, I will also introduce how to use 3D camera to create parallax style animations.About Me:Hello, my name is Lloyd and I was a beginner like you. I taught myself Apple Motion from the ground up.  After years of creating Final Cut Pro templates, I decided to create this class so that you will learn how to make your own animations and templates.Why Take This Class?Perfect for beginners that want to learn motion graphics and Apple Motion 5.Tips, tricks, and insights from real-world experience.By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to create professional-quality animations, motion graphics, and sequences for your videos—whether for YouTube, business, or personal projects.Ready to get started? Let’s create something amazing together!
