    If you have not had the chance to work with Motion 4 yet, Apple made some nice upgrades to the app. The simple fact that with the click of a button you can add reflections and cast shadows without having to “mimic” the look is excellent.

    I was also pleased with the inclusion of new Master Templates. They are very clean and will be great to modify to get some nice looks.

    What are some of the new things included in Motion 4 that your excited about? I think Apple has made Motion easier to use and added some very nice features that will help with production.

    That would have saved me a lot of effort on a VFX shot I made 3 years ago where I had to set a river on fire using Motion’s particle system!

    I haven’t purchased the upgrade yet but I’m pretty excited about Motion 4’s new feature that allows you to link behavior parameters, etc. to each other; that in itself is a killer ability, on par with AE’s expression “pick-whip.”

    They have enhanced the spellchecking feature to put a red line under words spelled incorrectly. A feature I’ve wanted for a long time.
