APPLE MOTION TUTORIAL - MAKE A MOTION TEMPLATE & USE IN FCP

[jeremyneufeld]

How do you create a drop zone for text and video. I am doing a video overlay and I have numbers at the bottom constantly changing. So how can I create a video template or overlay without creating a million pngs for every time the number changes. So to round that up how do I create a video template that can accept both video and text drop zones where the text is changing?

Why don' you just use motion and photoshop? is motion not capable of doing the job that finalcut is doing in tutorial?

@riasage Of couse it is, but I'm demonstrating the FCP/Motion round-tripping process at the same time. A lot of Motion work starts from the FCP timeline.

This is really powerful stuff! This kind of integration between apps is what Apple is all about. This mentality is 1 of the big reasons people freakin' love Apple, their users become so pationate about loyalty to Apple.
