    Posted by Justin Gray on September 12, 2005 at 11:58 pm

    Does anyone know where I can get a good book or manual for Motion. I bought the Apple Production Bundle and all the literature that came for this program was the little “Grand Tour” book. I’ve been going through it for a couple of days and I get the feeling that it is skipping over a lot of great features… Thanks again, Justin Gray

    Use the built-in Help file- full manual there.

    Damian Allen’s book for Peachpit (which is the official Apple training manual) is pretty good if you already know motion graphics concepts.

    Mark Spencer’s Visual QuickPro is a good reference book.

    If you like DVDs, check out DMTS INSIDE MOTION 2 from Magnet Media:

    Not a lot of books yet.

    Thanks a bunch Jim. I like to have something tangible in front of me instead of the help files that ship with the product. -J
