Introduction to Motion 3 (Motion 101)
Course Description
This three-day, hands-on course will familiarize students with Motion, Apple’s revolutionary software for motion graphics design. This comprehensive course covers working with Motion’s Real-Time Design engine and interface, behavior-based animation, parameter behaviors, blend modes, advanced particle system design, advanced title animation, working with templates, chroma key techniques, masking methods, DVD motion menu design, tabletdriven gesture UI techniques, working with audio, keyframing, and integration.
Using compelling media and a real-world production workflow, students will learn how to create amazing MPEG 2 video with Compressor as well as create eye-popping motion menus directly in DVD Studio Pro 4. Students will also “author” a DVD by creating buttons, interactive links, slideshows, playlists and even adding alternate audio stream and camera angles.
