Designed for video editors, Motion is a powerful motion graphics tool that makes it easy to create cinematic 2D and 3D titles, fluid transitions and realistic effects in real time.

2D and 3D Titles
• Import 360° media and design 360° titles, generators and effects
• Build 3D titles from scratch, design them with easy-to-use templates, or instantly convert any existing 2D title to 3D
• Easily create beautiful titles that you can animate using more than 100 drag-and-drop behaviours and intuitive text animation tools
• Customise 3D titles to create endless looks with over 90 Apple-designed 3D materials including metal, wood and stone surfaces

Motion Graphics for Final Cut Pro
• Save any title, effect, transition or generator and access it directly in Final Cut Pro
• Customise Final Cut Pro titles, effects and transitions by opening them in Motion
• Create Motion Templates with any combination of single parameters and rigs, which let you control a group of parameters with a slider, pop-up menu or tickbox in Final Cut Pro
• Use Display Aspect Ratio snapshots to create templates that support multiple aspect ratios

Stunning Effects
• Choose from more than 230 behaviours for natural animation without keyframes
• Create an accurate chroma key in a single step with the Keying filter
• Change focus points or the depth effect for video shot in Cinematic mode on iPhone (requires macOS Monterey or later)
• Design your own particle emitters or choose from 200 presets for real-world effects like smoke and sparkles
• Use professional masking tools to quickly draw and adjust control points for rotoscoping
• Automatically detect, track and match the movement of faces or objects using machine learning
• Choose between different tracking analysis types
• Add the Neon filter to easily add a neon glow to text, shapes, video, stills and more
• Harness an ecosystem of third-party FxPlug plug-ins for tasks like advanced tracking, advanced motion graphics and more

Effortless 3D
• Transition from 2D to 3D space by adding cameras
• Create 3D scenes within a 360° project for ultra-realistic 360° environments
• Set up realistic shadows that animate dynamically with the movement of cameras and lights
• Turn any shape, video plane or paint stroke into a reflective surface in 3D space
• Import third-party USDZ objects or use one of 60 pre-made objects in the Motion Library

Breakthrough Speed, Quality and Output
• Import wide colour HDR images, view them on supported Mac computers, and export in standard Rec. 709 or wide Rec. 2020 colour space
• Improved performance and efficiency on Mac computers with Apple silicon
• Unrivalled performance with optimisations for the M2 Pro, M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips

System Requirements: macOS 13.5 or later, 8GB of RAM (16GB recommended for third-party effects and plug-ins), Metal-capable graphics card (Intel-based Mac computers only), 4.7GB of available disk space.

Some features require internet access; fees may apply.

Release notes:
Motion 5.7 includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:

• See improved results when using the Object Tracker’s all-new machine-learning model to analyse the movement of faces and other objects on Mac computers with Apple silicon.
• Title template backgrounds are now disabled by default.
• Fixes an issue that caused FxPlug-based plug-ins to stop responding when you cancel an analysis.
