  • do you have to buy apple motion? or would it already be laying around on my mac?

  • You have to purchase it. Fortunately, the new version 'Motion 5.0' is only $50.00 from the App Store.

  • As a work around, you can navigate to the library menu, and grab one of the pyro particles to create your own fire background directly within Apple Motion.

    There are many stock footage companies that have various 'fire' backgrounds that you can purchase. Problem is, they are sometimes super expensive.

  • If you added a feather to her figure would it help with pixelation on her outside edges?

  • Yes - the usual tool to refine/feather key edges in Motion is a Matte Choker or Matte Magic filter (Filters -> Matte -> Choker/Magic).

    The pixelation is actually my fault, not Motion's: I grabbed this footage from our library without realizing it was shot/captured HDV. Avoid HDV: among other evils, it does serious chroma subsampling - not hugely noticeable until you go to pull a key. You can fix that on the source footage w/ a Chroma Smooth filter in FCP. Really helps w/ jaggies.

  • Which is better Final Cut Pro and Motion, or Adobe After Effects? I am switching to a Mac and was hoping with the first two software types mentioned that I would be able to eliminate the need of After Effects without losing the ability to create videos with really neat effects. Opinions?
