  • Best Practices for Creating Smooth Motion Graphics in Apple Motion

    Hi everyone,

    I’m relatively new to Apple Motion and working on a project that requires smooth transitions and animations. Sometimes my keyframes feel a bit jerky, even after tweaking easing settings.

    What are your best tips or techniques for creating fluid motion graphics in Apple Motion? Any must-know tools or plugins?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Trial and error.
    Are you creating templates?

    Using Drop Zones?

    Those can affect your trial and error in Motion once you use in FCPX.

    I’ve had some fun creating my own and I noticed a few quirks.

    One is length of drop zone placeholder.

    If you have a specific length in Motion and decide to change it in FCPX.

    The keyframes built in Motion tend to get goofy.

    Like I said, trial and error.
