You’ve heard about all these great new features of Motion, and you’ve been meaning to check them out. Really. But you’re always on a deadline, so you fall back on doing your graphics in Final Cut Pro or After Effects or something else you are already comfortable working with.

The file takes up so little room on the disc, and the players that do support it will display your logo (or whatever) whenever playback is stopped. more »Page 4 of 7 pages « First < 2 3 4 5 6 > Last » Advertisement |
