Motion graphics & visual effects tutorials for Apple Motion, Resolve Fusion and Blender.
New Improved Scribble Effect
One of the first tutorials I ever made for Apple Motion was a scribble effect tutorial so I thought after all these years it would be fun to revisit the idea and see what I could do to improve it.
Oh, and there's a free title template version for Final Cut which you can download here (please ask for access when requested and be a little patient because I am sometimes sleeping): drive.google.com/file/d/1qIMmJ0nm85-9LtNF528v8a-TEBDmxReM/view?usp=share_link

The Biggest Mistake Everyone Makes about Blend Modes
Переглядів 91914 днів тому
The topic of Blend Modes is always approached from a mistaken, highly misleading angle which makes it very difficult to reach a proper understanding of them. In this tutorial we'll cut through the unhelpful nonsense, and we'll also explore the mathematical magic behind a range of blend modes including Screen, Multiply, Overlay and even the mysterious Exclusion.

Good effect! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this Scribble effect. It would look great as a intro graphic for an educational video.
Thank you for all the great instruction!
worked like a charm!
Great 👍 Thank you, Simon
Love the update! Thank you, Simon.
You create some very sensational scenes, but the real mind-blowing stuff is stuff like using crystallize and directional blur and then narrowing the alpha on a levels filter.
Thank you!
Another superb and hugely useful tutorial - thanks so much
cool !
Just what I needed... was wondering how this was accomplished. thank you!
Your Tutorial made me finally try to do bone rigging! Thanks so much. I was jumping like the Robot at the end. 🦾🦿. I ended up selecting the two extra poles and symmetrising those and then re-attach the poles to the IK constraints parts.

🙂JUST INCREDIBLE Simon! I am trying to recreate all your Tutorials to learn how to use Apple Motion better. But this one was difficult. I guess that over time I'll gather better insight on how to do each step and make each action make sense. I can occasionally see some steps that you have omitted, but yet possible to include while learning. Thanks for making these advanced tutorials available to us. (And imagine, this was made 8 years ago, impressive). /Claes
Im amazed
Nice! Incredibly simple way 😮 Thank you, Simon! 👍 Hope you’re getting better 🤝
Something Different, interesting, beautiful, thank you!
Beautiful! Thank you 😊 Simon
Just yesterday I was thinking, Simon hasn't shown up this week yet. Is he okay? So today you explained. Get better soon! And just yesterday, I was watching some of your old content that I hadn't watched yet and I was so surprised by how amazing, clever and detailed you are. Thanks again for existing, Motion is nothing without you, hehehe!! And thanks for this new tutorial. So many new details that you taught and that's what makes you unique! The Indent filter that I think was too sharp maybe. And it would be interesting maybe, if there were some drops of coloured paint on the floor and when the text falls, it would kind of crush them and spread everywhere. You are amazing Simon!! Every week you amaze us with your knowledge. Thank you and get well!
mr.simon i really like your videos and you’re the only reason i picked motion as my to go software thanks for your contribution love from kurdistan
When you originally start building these effects how long do you take trying different filters and adjusting different parameters? Well done by the way!
Thank you. This was was pretty easy to work out because I have developed the basic techniques before, so maybe an hour of preparation?
Extremely clever Simon, thank you for doing this. Get better soon 😷!
Very cool 👍🏾 ❤
A bit off topic... and more in the motion design world. Using the bezier tool I can draw a line and use write-on to have it write on. What I see using path tracing in AE is that I can have a line write center out. Is there a way to do this in Apple Motion. Do you have a quick tip you could share with us? Again I love your creativity and I often watch your videos first thing in the morning and find inspiration in them.
The write-on/off behaviour is just a quick and easy substitute for keyframing the first and last point offsets - so the answer is that yes, you can write from the centre out if you keyframe it.
I like the bright colors.
Thanks again. I look forward to this video tutorial.
Genius.
Wonderful!
I notice that you make more videos with Apple than with davinci resolve. Is Apple better than davinci resolve in your opinion, and do you recommend people who love your videos to use Apple instead of davinci resolve
The only reason I make more tutorials for Motion is that most of my audience is here for Motion tutorials ... not because Motion is 'better than Resolve' which is certainly not the case, although one could argue that if your interest is specifically in motion graphics then Motion does have an edge because that it what it is designed for.
@@SimonUbsdell thank you for responding. It is an honor to learn from you. Can the design that you make in motion be made in Davinci resolve
Superb as always! Thank you
Thank you for the great educational video... for free too!? What are your thoughts on Avid Media Composer, btw? Thought it might be worth learning since that's what big productions use
Thank you. My thoughts on learning editing software is that if you want to work in editing professionally it pays to learn Premiere, Resolve and Media Composer as well as Final Cut. Depending on the job, I will use any one of these four and I can't afford not to know how to work with them. However, if you don't have to worry about interfacing with other users on different NLE platforms and you have a free choice about what to use, then you can just focus on whichever one you like best. Media Composer is great but these days I don't think it has anything like the competitive edge it used to have.
Cool Apple-style loading/waiting/busy indicator. Thanks, Simon 👍
Looks great, looking forward. By the way, I’ve got a question concerning splat, splash and so on. May I post a link to UA-cam video here in comments?
Sure you can post a link. The only issue is that UA-cam blacklists links (other than ones I publish) so I tend not to see posts that include them.
Keep them coming, many folks have joined the #AntiAbobeRevolution and Apple Motion has key components many are using to replace Aftereffects!
This was great info with clear concise explanations. I’d love to see you go through more blend modes. Thank you for the education.
Extremely useful academic base, thank you kindly, Simon! 🤝🤝🤝
Nice! Thanks, Simon. Taking off my hat 🎩 Wish they (Apple) made a real 3D app instead of 2.5D Motion 😅. At least, Motion 6 update to 3D 😂
It was only yesterday ( or\ a few days ago ), I was struggling with masking a 3D object. Thanks @Simon .
Love it.
So nice
Great explainer! On my show, in my talking head segments I usually have video playing behind me on a CRT, and that's added in post. I find that Linear Dodge gives the most authentic CRT look as you can still see reflections of the room on the screen in the darker parts.
