 Rating:  - Powerful software for those who don't whineI read the below reviews and feel compelled to clarify some important points regarding this software. 1) This is powerful software that allows you to create professional quality effects. You can add explosions, multiply objects in a scene and basically let your imagination run wild. 2) I bought the apple motion instructional book (with dvdrom) and it makes learning motion simple and fun. By the end of the 1st chapter you're animating cg butterflies, i.e. making one butterfly turn into 5 and fly ... Read More Rating:  - Groundbreaking idea, burdensome requirementsI played with Motion at an Apple store and was so impresssed, I immediately/spontaneously bought it. I'm running it on a first generation 2 Ghz dual processor G5 with 2 gigs of RAM and a Radeon 9600 graphic card and it is slow and sometimes doesn't render "on the fly" at all.

Rating: - It's the Motion that countsMotion can be described as real time motion graphic design software. Motion allows the user to create professional looking titles, DVD menu items, and other visualizations to their video and DVD projects. Motion is part of Apple's Production Bundle and it is intended to be used in conjunction with Final Cut Pro and/or DVD Studio Pro. Motion can best be compared to Adobe After Effects. Installation was a snap. The box contained an Install disk and a Motion Content disk. After imputing ... Read More Rating: - Amazing !Amazingly quick and simple to use... especially considering the complexity of the operations it does. You probably want to use it in conjuction with the entire PRODUCTION SUITE as well as ILLUSTRATOR and PHOTOSHOP (check out the ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE.) Within 2 days of purchasing I managed to produce a relatively complex animated title sequence scene... most features are "common sense" enough that once you get the flow you can pretty much figure things out for yourself (especially if you've ...
