xiv Getting Started

The Methodology

This book takes a hands-on approach to learning the software. It’s divided into projects

that methodically introduce the interface elements and ways of working with them, build-

ing progressively until you can comfortably grasp the entire application and its standard

workflows.

Each lesson in this book is self-contained, so you can jump to any lesson at any time.

However, lessons are designed to support the concepts learned in the preceding lesson,

and newcomers to motion graphics should go through the book from start to finish.

In particular, the first three sections—Fundamentals, Animation, and Motion Graphics

Design—comprise eight chapters, teach basic concepts, and are best completed in order.

Course Structure

The lessons are project based and designed to teach you real-world techniques for com-

pleting the types of motion graphics projects most commonly encountered in a profes-

sional setting. As you progress through the book, you will learn Motion’s features and

capabilities while you build several animated title sequences; create visual effects including

retiming, keying and tracking shots; and construct Smart Motion Templates for use in

Final Cut Pro X as a title, a transition, and an effect.

The lessons are organized into the following sections:

Lessons 1–2: Motion Fundamentals



In Lesson 1, you build a project while becoming familiar with Motion’s user interface. You

learn how to import video files, transform them, and add filters, behaviors, and masks;

apply blend modes; and create and animate text. Lesson 2 explores compositing in depth,

including working with layers and groups, blend modes and filters, and masks and clones;

as well as editing in the Timeline.

Lessons 3–4: Animation



After mastering the basics, you are now ready to try animation. Lesson 3 focuses on using

behaviors, and Lesson 4 is devoted to keyframing.

Lessons 5–8: Motion Graphics Design



Having acquired basic skills in compositing and animation, you turn your attention to

designing motion graphics using Motion’s tool set. In Lesson 5, generators, shapes, and
