Motion 3 takes the complexity out of 3D by extending the 2D tools you already use. With its intuitive interface and rich toolset, the only limit is your imagination. Send particles exploding through space. Swing cameras around an object with breathtaking ease. Squiggle a vector-based paint stroke in 3D through the cosmos. Motion 3 lets you create 3D motion graphics with drag-and-drop ease, startling performance, and unprecedented color fidelity.

Intuitive Real-Time Design Environment

Start animating right away with the easy-to-use tools and intuitive interface in Motion 3. You can see the results in real time as you work, and even adjust animation settings on the fly during playback. Be spontaneous. Explore. Experiment. Play. Just drag a behavior to the Canvas to set an object in motion, without any need to write expressions or manipulate keyframes. When you’re ready for more control, a single click opens a full Timeline, Inspector, or Keyframe Editor for making precise adjustments.

3D Motion Graphics Done Right

Create motion graphics in 3D space without learning a brand-new interface. The integrated 3D multiplane environment in Motion 3 is a natural extension of the 2D tools you already use. All of the familiar Motion features, such as particles, Replicator, text behaviors, and motion paths, extend into three dimensions with ease.

Breathtaking Filters and Effects

Motion 3 comes with more than 150 GPU-accelerated filters and effects — including Aura, Light Rays, Dazzle, and Glass Distortion filters — that you can use to move your projects from so-so to spectacular. And filters are just the beginning.

Automatically match the move of an object to a moving point in a video clip. Use SmoothCam to smooth the movement of a shaky shot without affecting standard camera moves like pans, zooms, and dollies. Achieve crystal-clear slow motion with new retiming behaviors and modify the settings with revolutionary drag-and-drop ease. Motion 3 works behind the scenes to make the setups easy and the results impressive.

Time-Saving Features

Motion 3 handles a number of media management tasks automatically and helps speed you to creative work with an extensive library of Apple-designed graphic elements. Deep integration with the Final Cut Studio family saves time by letting you drag and drop Motion projects into other applications without rendering. Editable master templates make it easy for editors to swap out video and update text right in Final Cut Pro. Motion 3 even supports interchange with common Adobe tools.
