Motion 5: Top 5 New FeaturesEverything has changed - and nothing has changed
The new Motion 5 has arrived - and here’s the funny thing: while it looks radically different, contains features that represent a completely new paradigm, and will change the way motion graphics are created - it is at the same time no different at all. How can that be? Read on for summary of what I consider the 5 biggest changes in Motion 5, and why they change everything - and nothing at all. more »

50 Ways To Pig Out on MotionMacBreak Studio breaks 100 and Motion breaks 50 episodes
MacBreak Studio recently aired it’s 100th episode covering topics related to Final Cut Studio, production and post. And just this week, we hit our 50th Motion-specific episode. At about 10 minutes apiece, there are enough Motion tips and tricks to keep you full until the new year. To make them easier to digest, I’ve collect them all on one page which you can view here. Enjoy, but don’t over-do it! Custom Shape Styles in MotionThis week on MacBreak Studio
On this week’s episode of MacBreak Studio, host Brian Gary and I discuss the different uses for custom “shape styles” in Motion. Think of them as ways to create your own “brushes” that you can animate in a variety of ways. Great stuff.

On this week’s MacBreak Studio, I host Steve Taylor - an LA-based motion graphics designer who’s tool of choice is After Effects. I thought it would be fun and interesting to compare how After Effects and Motion handle different motion graphics tasks and so this is the first of a series of “share and compare” sessions that looks at cameras and null objects in both After Effects and Motion.

How to get the “24p” look for your live-switched multicam shoot
A contracted article, sponsored by Datavideo Corporation.
Our friends at Datavideo recently asked me to write an article called How to get the “24p” look for your live-switched multicam shoot. The article covers many factors involved in accomplishing that goal, including framerate, aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, and menu settings in Datavideo’s digital HD video mixers (“switchers”) and recorders, and also the menu settings in several pro cameras from Canon, Panasonic, and Sony. The included chart explains which of the cameras have a direct HD-SDI output, and which require an optional converter to go from HDMI to HD-SDI to connect to the Datavideo digital HD video mixer. As you’ll see in the article, the approach is quite different from the workflows I normally cover, which are more appropriate when programs are to be edited, as opposed to when they are shot —and potentially broadcast— live. The graphics for this article were done by Victory Elliot of Datavideo Corporation.
