I like it and use it quite often. it’s a bit cheaper than optical flares and the plugin works not only in AE, but also in Premiere, Motion, Final Cut, Photoshop and Pixelmator. Though I only used it in Motion and FCPX, I don’t know how it performs in the other apps.
here are some tutorials: https://www.motionvfx.com/mtuts,category-1.html
yesterday I got a newsletter from motionVFX with a 20% off promo code, so if you want to buy it use the code: “March”. -
I like it and use it quite often. Not only for Lens Flares but all kinds of light related effects. Worth mentioning: You get two licences per purchase.
There are also many tutorials on their site: https://www.motionvfx.com/mtuts,category-1.html -
Just copy-paste the three parts into a new project/timeline.
-
The colors of the clips in the timeline are always “wrong”, they are just preview thumbnails and don’t represent any changes you make with effects or color correction.

Was just about to post this..
Not yet in the AppStore, but the new Features are already listed here:
https://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/whats-new/
and here: https://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/all-features/ -
You could use Firefogg https://firefogg.org/ Since it’s a Firefox App you’ll have to install Firefox, then visit the website, install the Plugin and then you can encode to WebM and Ogg Theora. There are some presets plus advanced settings.
I think it works quite well. At least much better than Miro.

If you want to move a secondary storyline you have to select the storyline itself and not the clips inside.
then drag up or down. hold shift while dragging to prevent sliding left/right.

With versioning you mean something like incremental saves? To make a snapshot/increment I duplicate the project (CMD+D), name the duplicate “projectXYZ_increment##” with settings “duplicate project only”, uncheck “copy render files” and keep working on the original project. Then I keep all those increments in an extra folder called “projectXYZ increments”.

What Codec is used in the .mov files?
If it’s already h.264 in a .mov container you could try remuxing the files without encoding. for example with “remux” https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/35968/remuxif you have to encode to h.264 I recommend trying handbrake https://handbrake.fr/
It’s very easy get good results using handbrake.
try the high profile preset – and constant quality RF 20-23 for HD, or RF 24-28 for SD content (lower RF = better quality). -
while you can edit still images with Motion, I’d recommend using a real image editing application. I really like the new version of Pixelmator. It’s just 30$ and there’s a 30 day trial available at pixelmator.com. It even has content aware fill and vector tools now in version 2.
or you could try the open source apps Gimp https://www.gimp.org/ and MyPaint https://mypaint.intilinux.com/ if you don’t want to spend money.
