Apple Motion course is designed to help you know and work with fundamental through advanced concepts and features of Motion. During the course you will go through a typical series of steps in designing with Motion, including the use of particle dynamics, behaviors, filters and effects, audio, text, and keyframing. This course comprehensively covers various topics like: working with Motion's real-time design engine and interface, including: behavior-based animation, parameter behaviors, blend modes, particle system, title animations, working with templates, chroma key techniques, masking, working with audio, keyframing, and Final Cut Studio integration.
