So I'm going to hit Command Z to undo that.…And the trick to getting the PhotoShop layers…

Nick then works through three chapters of timesaving, practical motion graphics techniques. Learn to create a lower third, animate a Photoshop file, and build dynamic backgrounds in Final Cut Pro. Discover how animate text, create moving 3D text, and build custom transitions in Motion. Then find out how to send FCP clips to After Effects and animate, light, and export your work.
