Hey everyone! Hope you're doing so well!
Today I have a handy download for you. On the channel, I showed how to create a progress bar with a number indicator in Motion!
If you want to watch and learn how I did that, the video can be seen here 👉 https://youtu.be/txZ3-GkSbLo
But, as I always try to do, I have also included a download!
This download has a ton of additional options so ...

Hey Fam,
This week in Apple Motion, I break down the process of creating a perfectly looped background!
Here's a link to the video 👉 https://youtu.be/0j0UXakRvTA
(NOTE: Some users have said the video shows as private for them. I've attempted to fix it, but I can't say it will definitely work.)
But then I spent several more hours creating a whole bunch of them just for you to use however you like!

This week I have got a really exciting download for all of you!
In this video, I set out to recreate the Super 8mm effect inside of Motion for Final Cut Pro. So I showed how to set up a video as a looping overlay for Final Cut Pro.
You can watch the video here! 👉 https://youtu.be/BUDQba2vhTI
Then I show how to level it up using FilmConvert Nitrate which is an amazing plugin for emulating the film effect....

Hey Fam, I really want to get into doing more livestreams. So today I am going to be editing my next tutorial LIVE right now! Hoping some of you can hop on and maybe pick up some workflow ideas.
I will do my best to answer chat, but I will also be pretty focused on making the tutorial happen.
Hope you can stop by!

Hey Fam,
I have a super exciting tutorial for you this week.
One of my favorite animation tools in Motion is the Motion Path tool. It makes it outrageously easy to animate whatever you want inside of Motion, without the need for keyframes.
So in this video, I show you how to take that tool and add it into Final Cut Pro!

Hey Fam!
This week on the channel, I show how to create a dynamic sidebar using Apple Motion for Final Cut Pro!
On the surface, it seems like a pretty simple concept. But I dive really deep into rigging a template for FCP!

I've recieved a lot of requests for animated checklists in Final Cut Pro using Motion! So today, my tutorial covers exactly how to make that.

Hey Fam! I appologize I am a little late to get this one out to you. I managed to totally forget scheduling this post to go out the same time as the video.
This week, we recreate the famous batman spin transition you may have seen if you ever watched the Adam West version of Batman. It's a pretty silly concept, but actually has some really cool tricks inside of Motion that can be applied to many other effects you might make.
Here's a link to the tutorial! 👉

Hey Fam, hope you are doing so well!
I just dropped a new video where I show how to bypass one of Final Cut Pro's major flaws. That flaw being, the inability to create a title that is save-able and re-usable in other projects.
Watching this tutorial (https://youtu.be/8t3KMFla3KM) will make that make more sense, but I think it's an incredibly useful hack that I just discovered.
As always, I am so appreciati...
