[stephen] I was thinking in terms of persuing a career in motion graphics. It seems that AE is the standard. I gravitate toward motion, but would that limit me in the job market?
I would agree that AE is the standard and would be very useful for someone perusing a career in motion graphics to learn. If you don’t currently own AE and want to learn Motion more you will not be wasting your time. They are similar in how they function. Learning Motion was real easy for me because its user interface is close to AE. I personally don’t hire anyone editors because they can use a program. I can teach an editor FCP but I can’t teach them passion for the job. The last editor we hired never used FCP in his life, but I would say he is one of the best FCP editors in our state. That is because I was looking for drive, passion and producing skills. I could teach him where all of the buttons where in FCP. Basically what I’m getting at is this: Your reel is what will get you hired and no one will know what programs the content was created in or care if it is really cool. Using both AE and Motion is easy to do and most people I know use both. If you only wanted to learn one program, I think AE will take you further down the road to a career in creating just motion graphics and is considered the standard by higher end shops. Best of luck.

Both programs are great and offer wonderful benefits. I think it depends more on what you would like to achieve. What would you like to do?
Check out this TV Show open and Commercial I did in Motion and that should give you an idea as to some things you could do in Motion.

If your on Motion 4 check out the Framing camera behavior. Be sure to adjust the Transition setting to get it to ease in or out. If using keyframes be sure to set the keyframes to Bezier, ease in or ease out. Hope this helps.

Sorry you had to do a re-install. Stu Siegal wrote about this in a different post. It does Preference backup to help speed up the re-install preferences process. You may want to check it out.

Be sure to check to see if you have any text in the search feature. That can make it so nothing shows up. Hope this helps.

Jim, thanks for purchasing my DVD Money Making Graphics and Effects. It is a DVD-ROM disc so it won’t play in the DVD player program. Double click on the DVD icon that appears on your desktop. Click on the Start_Here.html file and you will be good to go. I recommend that you drag all of the files over to your hard drive for better playback. Best of luck and enjoy.

First it lets you converse with that person on their profile or them on yours by adding notes.Can you make it so notes are not visible to the general public?
