Using Apple Motion 5 for Final Cut Pro X

Apply Motion 5 is a software tool for creating visual effects for Final Cut Pro including titles, transitions, generators, filters, and other animated visual effects.

To build motion graphics, we need to understand layers, timeline, and keyframes.

You can also create Smart Motion Templates that let you adjust your motion graphics within Final Cut Pro.

Third party plugins and templates are available. Check out https://www.apple.com/sg/final-cut-pro/resources/ecosystem/

Some overlapping effects can also be found in FCP, like video stabilization, green screen composition, and cartoon filter.

With Motion, you can also modify the preset titles and transitions that came with FCP.
