“The Conversation” Conference starts today in SF

I’ll be speaking there tomorrow 1:30-3pm

Starting this morning, The Conversation begins in Berkeley, California. The Schedule is here. Speakers will include John Gaeta (VFX super on The Matrix trilogy & Speed Racer), John Knoll (of ILM, also created Photoshop), Phil Tippett, and a slew of new media folks. I’m crushed that I’m missing the first day - I’ll be talking about what’s new in post & production tomorrow at 1:30, and my Red One camera wasn’t ready to drive up to San Francisco until this morning. In any case, if you can, dart on over to Berkeley and check it out - if you’re curious about where content is going and how it’ll be created, this should be fascinating. On site registration is about $150 for the two day event.

Getting the Most out of Motion

12 Tips for Improving Motion’s Performance

One of the most enjoyable features of Motion is its ability to play back even moderately complex projects in real time - allowing for a type of interactive development process where you can add and animate layers while the project plays back. In fact, the real-time playback feels so intuitive and natural after only a short time that it becomes quite addictive - to the point where it can be really annoying when the performance begins to slow down.

Apple has recently revised the entire Final Cut Studio section of their website, adding a large amount of descriptions, images, and video training on Motion. You can see some short videos on key Motion features here.
