Apple Motion for Mac is an application that was meant to be used with Final Cut Pro. You can use Apple Motion to create titles, effects, and transitions for videos, 3D animations, and 2D animations.

The intuitive interface of Motion for macOS includes a single-window layout, along with lots of different controls to edit keyframes and manipulate effects. It can be used to establish animated templates with various effects, generators, titles, and transitions. Once you’re finished, you can send the project to Final Cut Pro. This is where the templates can get applied to your video footage.

In other words, the Motion app lets you add text to your videos. You can customize the appearance of the text on the video to make it suit your needs. You’ll have the power to modify the text style, layout, position, orientation, rotation, format, and create 3D effects for it.
  • Breakthrough Speed and Quality
  • Editor-Friendly Design Tools
  • Easy Animated Text and Titles
  • Stunning Effects
  • Effortless 3D
  • Quick, High-Quality Output
It has a strong design engine that works in real-time, which means you can modify the footage as it plays back. This gives you the chance to witness the outcome of your edits instantly.

Other features of Apple Motion include more than 1,900 royalty-free compositions that are in 3D and 2D. They are available for you to place in your projects. There are behaviors packed in your app too, including Vortex, Repel, and Throw. They let you avoid coding as you simulate real-life effects.

Compressor is an Apple application that also lets you produce customized output settings for the app. Then you can use them on other projects, and you can share them with teammates or friends. As a result, the encoding abilities of the app can be extended.

You won’t be able to open several projects simultaneously, so casual users will probably benefit more from the Motion than high-volume commercial users. If you need a fast and easy way to add animations to videos, then Apple Motion is worth a try.
