Motion is designed for video editors, it is a powerful motion graphics tool that lets you easily and in real time create cinematic 2D and 3D titles, fluid transitions, and realistic effects.

2D and 3D titles

• Import 360° media and design 360° titles, generators, and effects
• Build 3D titles from scratch, design with easy-to-use templates, or instantly convert any existing 2D title to 3D
• Easily create beautiful titles and animate them with over 100 drag-and-drop behaviors and intuitive text animation tools
• Customize 3D titles and use more than 90 Apple-designed 3D materials (including metal, wood grain, and stone surfaces) to create a wide variety of looks

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
• Combine any individual parameter and rig to create Motion templates that let you control a group of parameters in Final Cut Pro with sliders, pop-up menus, or checkboxes
• Create templates that support multiple aspect ratios using “Show Aspect Ratio Snapshots”

Stunning effects

• Choose from more than 230 behaviors for natural animation without keyframes
• Create precise chroma keying in a single step with the Keying filter
• Change the focus or depth-of-field effect of videos shot in Cinematic mode on iPhone (requires macOS Monterey or later)
• Design your own particle emitters or choose from 200 presets with realistic effects such as smoke and sparks
• Use professional masking tools to quickly draw and adjust rotoscope control points
• Automatically detect, track, and match the movement of faces or objects using machine learning
• Various tracking analysis types are available to choose from
• Add the Neon filter to easily add neon glows to text, shapes, video, still images, and more
• Take advantage of the third-party FxPlug plug-in ecosystem for tasks such as advanced tracking, advanced motion graphics, and more

Easy 3D

• Add cameras to transition from 2D to 3D space
• Create 3D scenes in 360° projects to build ultra-realistic 360° environments
• Set up realistic shadows that dynamically activate by following camera and light movement
• Convert any shape, video plane, or stroke into a reflective surface in 3D space
• Import third-party USDZ objects or choose from 60 pre-made objects in the Motion library

Breakthrough speed, quality, and output

• Import wide-gamut HDR images, view them on supported Mac computers, then export in standard Rec. 709 or wide-gamut Rec. 2020 color spaces
• Improved performance and efficiency on Mac computers with Apple silicon
• Optimized for the new Mac Studio and MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, M1 Max **, and M1 Ultra chips for unparalleled performance
