Motion Reviews & Product Details

I love that I can send a link to someone that shows preferred times and available times they can meet with BOTH my business partner and me. I also like the permanent links I can set up that allow someone to use their special meeting link over and over again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really wants to cram my day in with activities if I let it. I would like it if I could say, "I only want to do so much deep work in a day vs light work, and have so many breaks." If I let it set my entire schedule, I'd never get to pee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Motion is so incredibly easy to use, and its integration with Final Cut Pro is awesome. I love the interface and hower powerful it is. Creating my own titles and motion graphics is a pleasure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does NOT integrate with Adobe files very well. With After Effects, I can pull in Illustrator files and work with the layers. I can then update the AI files and my AE projects will update. Motion does not work with other files well at all and it is a huge detriment to my workflow, so I have to use AE for those projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can make for example perfect title animations for social media publications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so easy to start with, you need to use some tutorial, but then is really useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the layout and interface of motion to be very user-friendly and intuitive. I also like that the interface is consistent with all of the other programs in the apple lineup so jumping right in was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have run into several instances where motion crashes for an unknown reason. So if you don't get in the obsessive habit of always saving you can lose your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Motion has a user interface that is easy to use and understand. The interface is built very similar to that of Final Cut which makes it very nice when needing to switch between the two applications to achieve different effects. With Motion you are able to achieve the (as the name states) motions that you aren't able to achieve with Final Cut. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the one downfall to Motion which has gotten better is the time it takes to render and save videos. Especially with the videos that have a lot of movement to them which creates a larger file size. Also it seems that the compression you receive with Motion isn't to the degree of the compression you get with other pieces of software like Final Cut or even the dreaded iMovie.

This gives us something that works directly with Final Cut and uses the same codecs. We are able to easily move items back and forth as needed. AS the name suggests Motion is fantastic for adding dramatic motions and graphics to any video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The rendering time and process can be cumbersome and time consuming at times depending on the graphics and video being used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Motion is easy to integrate with Final Cut Pro X. I can drop transitions and titles into Motion and save them, easily to drop into a Final Cut Pro project later. I can modify any aspect of those transitions that I want which gives me even more options when working on a wedding video or company add. It also gives me a lot of masking features for special effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how difficult it is to learn how to use Motion. Sure, it's intuitive and powerful but there are so many features, I have to go to You Tube to learn how to do anything. But that's what you get with a motion graphics software. It can be complicated because there are so many powerful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After Effects was hard for me to pick up, but for the affordable cost & tons of feature Apple Motion is a breeze. If your preferred video editor is FCP you have to have this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more functionality with exporting/importing to FCP. For now I'll finish a project in motion then I can do specific cuts & audio editing in FCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

after countless hours looking for a program that can fit our needs, motion is a great program that helps you create cool effects and GFX that can help your production quality tremendously Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what I like about Motion is the price, I should be cheaper to use, and that the things are menus are hidden, so we can use it and really get good at the idea of having it in our arsenal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apple Motion works pretty well with Final Cut Pro X, my mainly video edit software. Using both programs let me create great templates that makes my life way easier while editing. Another great point is that the interface looks a lot like FCPX, so it is very intuitive for professionals like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I fell Motions can bring some of the effects from Final Cut Pro, once I needed to recreate the "bad tv" effect since it just doesn't exist in Motion. Also I miss a lot some key features that I can find on After Effects, mainly for complex annimations. I know that there are some tolls for that but they are not intuitive. Another problem that I found using Motion was on sharing my projects: I couldn't find a way to let people with older versions of Final Cut Pro use my presets... I would love to see ways to export for any Final Cut Pro X version. Last but not least, some times while I am editing my templates on Final Cut, I find the app crashing, it cleary happen because of the file I created on Motion, but I can't figure out how to fix that; most of the times I find myself exporting twice to check if the second file will be out of crashes.
