This Apple-certified guide is designed to make motion graphics accessible to newcomers. Author Mary Plummer
starts with the fundamentals of motion graphics, introducing the basics of building a layered composite and bringing still images to life. Each lesson builds on the last as you master behaviors, particles, filters, and animated text, and move
on to Timeline editing, audio mixing, and precision animation
with keyframes.
You'll work on more than a dozen real-world projects, including the intro for a photographer's portfolio DVD,
an animated company logo, a TV news bumper, and a commercial ad spot. Along the way, you'll master fantastic visual effects and techniques that will help you build stunning motion graphics projects of your own.
