Thank you for the "timely" video. I'm currently working on a history video of my hometown and this is exactly what I was trying build (unsuccessfully) using Motion!
I know this isn't related, but in FCP, when you add a basic text; under the area where you select font, line spacing, etc. there's the postion, rotation, and scale.. How do you animate the rotation with the text staying stationary in the same spot? If you go to the "Compositing" tab, I know that you can keyframe it there and animate it, but it always moves the text instead of keeping it stationary. Thanks!
I would just add keyframes to the “offset” parameter! Just line up the offset to the year you’d like to use. This would be a lot harder to do in FCP. So Motions going to be your best bet.
Dylan please help me out, I use FCP 10.8 whenever I apply cumple pop levelmatic extenstion the FCP timeline becomes very laggy only when I disable the audio plugin the timeline becomes super smooth. I use M1 macbook for simple projects. As a temporary solution I render out the video then import it back to FCP is there a better way to fix it?
Thanks for this. Have you tried it with a greater range of numbers? I've created the timeline successfully with a range of 16 years (1888 - 1904), but when I use it to create a longer one (1700 - 1888) it seems to break. I've experimented with it enough that I'm pretty sure it's a bug. I move ahead 188 keyframes and plug in 189 points, but when I get a look at the years after adjusting end point offset, the sequences are strange. For example, right now, I see 1700...1701...1703... It randomly skips years throughout.
I was running into similar issues! One thing that gave me a bit more luck with a broader range was to double the number of frames needed for each number. So jumping ahead 100 numbers would be 200 frames. Then setting the offset to 2 instead of one for each frame. That did resolve the issue sometimes for me, but for whatever reason, this Motion project is quite buggy!
@@TheFinalCutBro thanks for the quick response. I did try that, and even then it started misbehaving randomly (like the closer I looked, the more issues I found, and the more I tried to fix it, the more of a logic-less rabbit hole got dug).
Hi Dylan, after I do the 'source frame offset' step. ' when I hit play for it it to scroll through. it will start scrolling at the 1.5 second mark. can't figure out why...
Hey Dustin! It's possible the keyframes got set to be a bit later. You can adjust those using the keyframe editor. Really the timing I set in my video was just what worked for me. But this can be so different for each project! Something that happens to me all the time is that I press A on the keyboard, which goes into record keyframe mode. I won't even notice it. Then when I start making adjustments, it's adding keyframes to everything, and I have no clue until a long while later! It's possible something like that might have occurred as well. Just press A to get out of the keyframe record mode.
God bless you! The best FCP creator on TH-cam in my book.
The way you teach makes Motion so simple and incredible to use. I think your Yoda is Simon.
You two should work together.
Thank you very much!
I would love that! He’s one of the biggest reasons I was able to get started in Motion at allz
Thx a lot this video really helped me ❤❤
Another excellent tutorial. Very many thanks Dylan. Thank you for all your hard work.

That’s perfect!
Amazing as usual brother!!
Amazing, thanks 🙌
Finally! Thank you for this Dylan!
Thanks a lot this helped to finally made the animation I was looking for
thanks you so much for this
Awesome as usual. For some reason my offset was changed form 0 and -100 to something slightly more but I finally found it ;-)
i love this
Thanks! Dylan!
Awesome!
Perfect!
might be the only thing ill ever use motion for lol bought this program a while back and haven't touched it.
Nice tutorial. This must have been complicated to figure out.
I needed it for a client. So that’s always a GREAT way to learn fast 😂
@@TheFinalCutBro That's always the best way to learn!

Is there any way to add blur to this animation? I think After Effects has a motion blur feature. Does Motion have something similar?
hey dylan, great video. is there a way to have it stop on certain dates to add a photo/video than have it continue/repeat? That be done in final cut?
I would just add keyframes to the “offset” parameter! Just line up the offset to the year you’d like to use. This would be a lot harder to do in FCP. So Motions going to be your best bet.
I got 2000 and 2024 twice in a row instead of 2000 2001 and 2023 2024. Any idea why?

bro how to add this in final cut pro
