Good in-depth book,

This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Motion 5 (Paperback)
This is a great book for more in-depth concepts and examples. I bought Motion and played around for a couple of weeks, but was left needing more than youTube postings and online help. This book delivers. It works best when you follow the examples with the provided files. I would highly recommend this book if you want to really know the product.I was disappointed in Amazon's shipping - the book was in a much larger box and had a torn cover and bent corners.

This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Motion 5 (Paperback)
Very thorough. The only problem with it is every time Apple sends an update to the software, the more outdated the book becomes. However, I didn't have as many of these kinds of problems as I did with the Final Cut Pro X book. That was far worse as far as the update/outdate problem.When I talked to Apple, they recommended forums, which I don't like. Plus, I registered the book with Peach Pit so I could get notices of updates but never got any.

This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Motion 5 (Paperback)
This book tells you a lot of the interesting things you can do with Motion 5. It is written as a high-level manual - it shows you how to do things once, with great detail, then it is up to you to follow up. A few of the chapters will have to be repeated for you to completely grasp the content.It does not tell you everything you can do with Motion, that would be impossible as this is a program with almost no limitations. |

Errata
On Page 151, the answer to review question 7 is incorrect. The correct answer is as follows, replacing the Bezier interpolation with Logarithmic:
In the Keyframe Editor, you can change the interpolation of individual keyframes along a curve by Control-clicking a keyframe and choosing an interpolation type. This technique provides access to five additional interpolation options: Ease In, Ease Out, Ease Both, Exponential, and Logarithmic.
