- When I build motion graphics in any application,…I always ask myself can I save it and use it again?…This question has saved me hundreds…if not thousands of hours.…Let's see some of the saving options available when working…with text and motion graphic elements into Final cut Pro ten…as well as a few additional time saving techniques.…So, I'm here in my timeline and the first thing…that I want you to know is that all effects…can be saved to the Final Cut effect browser.…

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.
