 Powerful software for those who don't whine, 2005-04-23
I read the below reviews and feel compelled to clarify some important points regarding this software. 1) This is powerful software that allows you to create professional quality effects. You can add explosions, multiply objects in a scene and basically let your imagination run wild. 2) I bought the apple motion instructional book (with dvdrom) and it makes learning motion simple and fun. By the end of the 1st chapter you're animating cg butterflies, i.e. making one butterfly turn into 5 and fly exactly how you would like. 3) I'm new to mac and bought an imac G5 1.8 ghz with 1 gb ram and a 64mb video card (very low end). I could use motion, but the real time rendering was slow. Confused about what I just said? Let me explain. Motion allows you to see what changes you are making immediately so that you can fine tune your effects. Do you want to make a butterfly fly a bit faster? It's easy because the movie is playing in real time allowing you to find the perfect speed without having to render each attempt. If you have a slow computer, the real time frame rate slows down. My imac slowed the frame rate from 24fps to 5 fps. However, I still saw the changes and could print to video at 24fps. 4.) Upgrade if you want faster frame rates. I decided to upgrade. I bought a dual 2.0 G5, 1.5GB, 256MB nvidia video card (super fast). Now the frame rate is at 22 to 24 fps in realtime!
Bottom line, if you want to create amazing effects in your movie, buy this. If you MUST see the pre-rendered changes at 24fps, spend about 5 grand on a new computer, otherwise, live with the 5 fps. But whatever you do, don't complain that your movie sucks because you could only see 10 fps in realtime. Chances are your creativity needs a tune up more than your Mac.
