    Motion vs Livetype

    Posted by Tom Burke on July 31, 2009 at 2:10 am

    I have dabbled in both. My brain is small and I don’t want to clutter it up too much so should I use that valuable space to learn more about Motion or Livetype. It seems like Motion kills livetype so that would be the choice to make. Or is there value in using both???

    Thanks

    Livetype is just title design, Motion is font design plus a universe of titling, visual effects, compositing, 3D. And now that LiveType has been discarded in FCS 09 and its functions folded into Motion, I’d say the choice is very clear.

    Thanks Noah,

    I didn’t know that Livetype has been dropped.

    [Tom Burke] “I didn’t know that Livetype has been dropped.”

    We’ve been assured that LiveType files can be opened in Motion 4 but I’m not sure anyone has really tried it yet. All of your LiveFonts are accessible in Motion.

    Noah’s right: Learn Motion.
