3D objects and layers.
Is there a way to put something in a 3D object and then have it be revealed with camera move. Example. 3D coffee cup. Having something inside the coffee cup and not be able to see it from outside of the cup , but then the camera pans over the top of cup and reveals what is inside the cup. Is this some kind of masking trick that I can not think of?

Well, yes and now. Depends on the 3D model you’re using. USDZ (may I say the least used and hardest to find of all 3D model formats) is the only 3D model format supported by Motion which makes it super limited, and you can’t adjust texture or anything. It is what it is. If you’re using a real 3D model, you can do it. Just animate the camera movement, or animate the movement of the Group that cup is in.
I’d test this out, but I can’t find a free empty cup model in USDZ format that Motion will accept. Seems there’s several variation on USDZ and Apple went with a confusing format.
There was a plugin from MotionVFX called mO2 that allowed full 3D model support in a variety of the most popular 3D model formats, but Apple killed it with some updates. They are now working on mO3 that will work with the newer Apple macOS and Apple silicon. I used mO2 all the time, and miss it now. Can’t wait to get my hands on mO3 if it is ever released.

Having tested this, 3D USDZ objects interact with each other and can do this.
2D objects and text do NOT interact with 3D objects and you’d not be able to do this.
