Is anyone using Motion?

[Michael Gissing]

Try Blackmagic Fusion is you want something for free. But sub $80 for software is not expensive really.

Thank you for the tip. I mostly would do motion design, I’ll research the capability of the software.

[Djaka Dwiandi] “but when checking the price I get upset as the price is now $79.99 in the app store”

No idea which Store you’re looking at (in foreign App Stores the exchange rate plays a big part!), but in the U.S. Store the price has not changed since day one. Nor in the european ones that I frequent.

And really… a measly $79 (if that were the case) for THAT powerful of an app? That’s a problem? Seriously?

I just checked and the iTunes stores still shows $49.99 for me. Maybe there is a currency conversion happening depending on your location as Robin said. It’s the deal of the century at anything less than $100 if you consider the power that Motion brings.

Cost is relative. If you’re making $3,000 a month it’s less than 3% of your take home pay. If you’re monthly income is $700, it’s more than 11%.

Maybe so but if you can pay for an asset that earns you money with just 11% of your income for ONE month then it’s well worth it!

Agreed. The speed of Affinity products should have Adobe embarrassed. Since I am mostly self-contained I have the luxury of choosing superior tools over Adobe.

To answer Oliver’s question, I used Motion a lot more back when we had round-tripping. Now I see it as sort of a plugin to FCP X. There are plenty of pre-made plugins that I find more useful.

I don’t want to whine, but Apple’s lack of interest in FCP X, Motion, Aperture (or some decent replacement) has been a real PITA. I wish someone else would run Apple. Someone with enough passion to say:

“We make $200 Billion a year, we can afford to not act like accountants all the damn time and do some really great stuff, just to remind people how special we are as a company”…

Time to adjust the meds… oh wait I don’t take any…

I tried the Fusion It blows my mind! feels like having a ferrari machine on a beetle!
at the end, the fusion blows my mind but the motion wins my pocket, eh I mean heart. LOL

[Djaka Dwiandi]

Yeah right. that what make me confuse. But it turned out that in the Australian store they charged more for the item there… they think Aussies are more wealthy….

[Robin S. kurz]

[Djaka Dwiandi] “they think Aussies are more wealthy….”

Like I said… “exchange rate“?? $49 U.S. are roughly $67 AUS… plus tax and what not… bingo. Motion costs $55 U.S. or even more in the various Europe stores as well. It’s not some “Australian thing“.
