Izzy Video 077 – Drawing in Motion

izzyvideo77

In this video tutorial, we’re back inside Apple’s Motion for a new tutorial. I show how to animate a drawing line on a map. This is a classic animation used to show someone’s trip around the world, but the technique can also be used for a variety of other purposes. For example, you can use it to circle something on the screen, to show the path a football player is going to run, and so on.

It’s a very simple effect to create, and I thought it might be a helpful one.

Want to know how to put light sabers in your video?

It’s easy to do, and in this video tutorial, I show you how. I use Apple’s Motion to create the effect, but you can do it in many different applications, using a technique called “rotoscoping.”

Izzy Video 069 – Motion Filters

I’ve received a lot of positive feedback about previous tutorials on Apple’s Motion. I thought it might make sense to release another one.

Filters are a very powerful aspect inside Motion. In this tutorial I briefly describe some of the ways you can use filters and also delve a little into the content that is included with the application Motion.

This weekend I’m responding to viewer requests. In a previous tutorial, I included a shot where my website was spinning against a graphical background. Many of you asked how I made that shot, so this week I’m showing you how.

Once again, this tutorial is inside Apple’s Motion, but I’m sure you can create the same effect in a number of different applications.

Izzy Video 058 – Working With Slow Motion

izzyvideo58

Creating slow motion effects from video can be challenging. This week’s Izzy Video explores various aspects of creating slow motion effects.

Included is a brief introduction to Motion’s “Optical Flow” which is an incredible new tool. I was amazed at the results when I first saw what this little tool could do. You’ll see what I mean. The results speak for themselves.
