Join Nick Harauz for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with limitations, part of Final Cut Pro X Guru: Motion Graphics in Motion and After Effects.
- Being a video editor and working on various projects…comes with restraints.…It may be that you have to have your program…be a specific duration, delivered at a certain time,…or adhere to your company's video standards.…The same is true in working with motion graphics,…but sometimes it's through these limitations…that masterpieces are born.…Here are a few reasons why constraint is a good thing.…Sometimes having too much choice can cause you…to become not focused on your project…and even unorganized.…
Working within constraints and limitations can help you…focus more and help you organize within those limitations…to create some really cool things.…I also like to set limitations for myself,…and one of those is to set time limits.…I'll go into this into more details…under one of the other modules that's coming up,…but just keep in mind for you to limit the time you spend…on something can help with a long form project.…K.I.S.S; it's a very simple concept.…
Some people call it Keep It Super Simple,…some people call it Keep It Simple Stupid.…

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. By the end of the training, editors will have a basic comprehension of motion graphic design techniques and the essentials for transitioning between these three powerhouse applications.
