Apple Motion is used to make nearly all the effects, titles, generators and transitions in Final Cut Pro, both built-in and those made by others. They can be made responsive to the aspect ratio of the timeline they are used in. Here’s how: www.linkedin.com/pulse/making...

Making Final Cut Pro tools respond to the aspect ratio of timeline they are used on

If you need your graphics and animations to scale and rotate in response to aspect ratio in Final Cut Pro, you can set this up in Apple Motion. In Motion there is the concept of Display Aspect Ratio s...

I had to do the same for the BBC News Persian service a few years ago. Having to make a pixel perfect recreation meant I got to know the After Effects to Premiere template workflow very well.

I had to rebuild some of my 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 templates as MOGRTs the other day.

Signs of stagnation in post production: 1. App monocultures mean lack of competitors driving innovation. ProTools for sound After Effects for compositing and motion graphics Premiere for editing 2. Post in 2025 wouldn’t be surprising to people from 2010.

Let me tell you a story (before the ship explodes):

What a pity. In 2017 was the first editing app that transcribed what you said and showed the words in sync with your footage on screen. Two years later CapCut included the same feature in China, in 2020 for US users.

Shooting 9 pages/23 shots/15 setups tomorrow. With a crew of 1. And new lights & camera we’ve never used. And also I don’t know any of the lines. And I don’t like what I wrote. It’s ineloquent and unfunny. Let’s do this!

Apple announces Final Cut Camera 2.0 and mentions… “upcoming releases of Final Cut Pro 11.2 and Final Cut Pro for iPad 2.3, editors gain control over iPhone ProRes RAW footage, with direct adjustments for exposure, color temperature, tint, and demosaicing.” www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

This feature of Apple Motion has amazed my clients at the BBC for years. It has made me seem clever. For graphics that work in any aspect ratio (100:1 to 100:1 and beyond) I only need to include a maximum of 4 Display Aspect Ratio snapshots. #postsky

#AppleMotion's Snapshot feature is awesome - being able to design 1 motion graphics template that automatically adapts to any aspect ratio based on your timeline settings makes me blush. #postchat #postsky #fcp #motiongraphics

The reaction to FCPX always felt like entitled rage. 12 years of 32-bit FCP that birthed millions of businesses (including me). Bank it, upgrade, move on. I know Jobs spoke to Randy Ubillos (Premiere & FCP/KeyGrip) about the "Vertigo" aka FCPX launch and they agreed. 64-bit or nothing. @gruber.foo

I see no reason to take Apple seriously on video editing - including the Mac. The Mac isn’t used by editors because of Apple editor affinity. It’s just faster than the rest. What was Apple’s last video editing hit? Final Cut Pro X? Clips? ProRes RAW? Cinematic Video? 🤡 #PostSky
