Developer's Description

Designed for video editors, Motion is a powerful motion graphics tool that makes it easy to create cinematic 2D and 3D titles, fluid transitions, and realistic effects in real time.


2D and 3D Titles

• Import 360° media and design 360° titles, generators, and effects

• Build 3D titles from scratch, design them with easy-to-use templates, or instantly convert any existing 2D title to 3D

• Easily create beautiful titles that you can animate using more than 100 drag-and-drop behaviors and intuitive text animation tools

• Customize 3D titles to create endless looks with over 90 Apple-designed 3D materials including metal, wood, and stone surfaces


Motion Graphics for Final Cut Pro

• Save any title, effect, transition or generator and access it directly in Final Cut Pro

• Customize Final Cut Pro titles, effects, and transitions by opening them in Motion

• Create Motion Templates with any combination of single parameters and rigs, that let you control a group of parameters with a slider, pop-up menu, or checkbox in Final Cut Pro

• Use Display Aspect Ratio snapshots to create templates that support multiple aspect ratios


Stunning Effects

• Choose from more than 230 behaviors for natural animation without keyframes

• Create an accurate chroma key in a single step with the Keying filter

• Change focus points or the depth effect for video shot in Cinematic mode on iPhone 13 (requires macOS Monterey)

• Design your own particle emitters or choose from 200 presets for real-world effects like smoke and sparkles

• Use professional masking tools to quickly draw and adjust control points for rotoscoping

• Automatically detect, track, and match the movement of faces or objects using machine learning

• Choose between different tracking analysis types

• Add the Neon filter to easily add a neon glow to text, shapes, video, stills, and more

• Harness an ecosystem of third-party FxPlug plug-ins for tasks like advanced tracking, advanced motion graphics, and more


Effortless 3D

• Transition from 2D to 3D space by adding cameras

• Create 3D scenes within a 360° project for ultra-realistic 360° environments

• Set up realistic shadows that animate dynamically with the movement of cameras and lights

• Turn any shape, video plane, or paint stroke into a reflective surface in 3D space

• Import third party USDZ objects or use one of 60 premade objects in the Motion Library



Breakthrough Speed, Quality, and Output

• Import wide color HDR images, view them on supported Mac computers, and export in standard Rec. 709 or wide Rec. 2020 color space

• Improved performance and efficiency on Mac computers with Apple silicon

• Workstation-class performance with optimizations for the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips on the new MacBook Pro
