  • MOTION 5 render 4 useless on my computer?

    Wanting to buy just MOTION 5, not yet FCP X – so once installed will MOTION 5 render my MOTION 4 useless, will it affect ability also to edit using various Final Studio 3 apps including FCP 7?

    Hi Kent

    For installation, make sure you check out Apple’s recommendations in order not to get into a mess:

    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4722

    You can use Motion 4 and Motion5 on the same machine if you follow the correct procedures.

    Motion 5 won’t give you the ability to link to FCP 7 sequences – which is quite a big deal.

    Otherwise you should be able to use it just like you’re currently using Motion 4. There’s not a whole lot that’s fundamentally changed – but rigging and publishing are a great addition.
