3D multiplane environment
Easily create 3D motion graphics by extending the 2D tools you already use into 3D space. Drag and drop camera behaviors to dolly, truck, and orbit around a scene or move from layer to layer. Use multiple viewports to adjust cameras, lights, layers, and motion paths in 3D space. Then go beyond the basics by bringing elements like particles, Replicator patterns, and text behaviors into this comprehensive 3D design environment.

Vector-based paint strokes |
 |
Use the swipe of a pen to create pressure-sensitive paint strokes, complete with dramatic 3D looks. Choose from more than 150 built-in brush styles, including strokes that look like floating feathers or glowing light trails. You can design your own brushes using color, |
| gradients, or even QuickTime files. Because the strokes are vector-based, you can adjust their path and position without losing any of their texture or animated properties. |
3D text behaviors
Build dramatic title sequences with drag-and-drop ease using new 3D text behaviors. Choose from more than 150 built-in text behaviors and use them in 3D space. Use the Text Sequence behavior to ripple 3D moves character by character or to fly characters at the camera with full 3D rotation. For astonishing multidimensional effects, drag 3D text behaviors onto text arrayed on a 3D path
Point tracking and match moving
Set up point tracking or four-corner match moves in just a few clicks. Quickly attach text, particles, or any layer to an object in a video clip and follow the movement of the object with pinpoint accuracy. Say good-bye to guessing and repeated trials; Motion identifies the best potential tracking points and dynamically adjusts for common tracking errors.
Image stabilization and SmoothCam
Motion 3 offers two powerful options for correcting shaky shots. Use the image stabilizer to lock down a shot without the time-consuming setup required by most stabilization tools. Or use the SmoothCam feature to retain standard camera moves like pans, tilts, and zooms while eliminating handheld camera jitters or bumps. Both features are based on sophisticated optical flow technology originally developed for Shake.
| Synchronized Audio behavior |
|
| With the new Audio behavior in Motion 3, creating an animation that synchronizes to music has never been easier. Apply the behavior to any parameter on any layer, then use a graphical interface to narrow the frequency range used for the animation. You can continue to refine the animation's response as you watch the results in real time. |
 |
Dynamic retiming behaviors
New retiming behaviors in Motion 3 let you create sharp, clean speed changes and adjust them dynamically. Slide the behavior in the Timeline to modify the start and end times of the retiming effect. Adjust sliders to set ramp in and ramp out times, as well as a range of other parameters, and see your changes in real time as you continue to adjust your settings. Motion 3 even calculates match frames for the beginning and end of retiming effects. You'll see remarkably crisp, clear results, thanks to optical flow technology adapted from Shake.
Advanced Keyframe Editor
Draw animation curves for any parameter in seconds using the intuitive new keyframe pen tool in Motion 3. Use the flexible transform box to squish, stretch, and reposition groups of keyframes. Call up curves for position, opacity, rotation, scale, shear, and anchor point with time-saving keyboard shortcuts.
| Seamless integration with Final Cut Pro |
| Send clips from Final Cut Pro to Motion when you want to use advanced image processing behaviors or to layer motion graphics on top of your footage. Motion 3 preserves cuts, layers, retiming, and SmoothCam information, so your previous work in Final Cut Pro is not |
|
| wasted. New editable Motion 3 master templates — complete with video drop zones and editable text fields — let you easily update content, without disturbing the underlying motion graphics and without leaving Final Cut Pro. |
