	Apple Motion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Motion is a software application produced by Apple Computer for their Mac OS X operating system.
		Motion 2 can also integrate with a MIDI keyboard, so that parameters can be controlled by keys or faders; this opens up the possibility real time parameter input into Motion.
		Motion is also compatible with Apple's Core Image technology, allowing one to use the Image Units that come standard with Mac OS X Tiger.

	Toolfarm - Plugins, Software Sales and Distribution: Review: Apple Motion
		I've been working with Apple Motion for several weeks now, and can comment a bit about how it stacks up to AE and other compositing programs.
		Motion is a resource hog; my dual 2 gig G5 is a minimum to run it effectively, using the mid-grade ATI Radeon 9600XT AGP video card, with 128 megs of VRAM.
		Apple Motion a very good asset for graphic artists, but AE is still more comprehensive than almost anything else available.

	Edit Review — Apple Motion 2
		Motion's hook is that just about everything happens in realtime, and for many media artists, that is a powerful hook.
		Motion did a great job of upsampling the lower resolution on the LCD so that it was still very watchable.
		Motion 2 is much easier to use in its simpler mode than a similar composting program like After Effects, and if you want AE-style power, a few clicks will bring you into the more complex mode.

	Product Review: Apple Motion 2
		New generators in Motion 2 are caustics for animated water effects and light patterns, clouds for nebulae patterns and membrane for animated sheets that seem to float in 3D space.
		Motion has been optimized for Wacom Tablet use (the Wacom Cintiq 21UX, with its unique draw-on interface, is more than a treat) especially with the use of Motion Gestures: essentially, tablet shortcuts to accomplish repetitive artistic tasks.
		Motion 2 is also part of Apple’s Final Cut Studio, which counts Final Cut Pro HD and DVD Studio Pro among its principal elements for a relatively complete media and authoring studio experience.

	Review - Exploring Apple Motion Digital-Tutors
		With the coming of Apple's new Motion program we are all anxiously awaiting the spate of books and discs which will help the Motion user to quickly grasp the ins and outs of its many parameters quickly, if not always easily.
		Motion, like Live Type is simple and intuitive on the outside, but for those who aspire to integrate all there is to know, a deeper delving into the program is mandatory.
		Bottom line, Exploring Apple Motion is an excellent disc by which to learn the ropes of this great new application.

	AppleInsider \| Apple readying "Motion" graphics application for release
		Apple Computer, Inc. is close to releasing its "Motion" real-time motion graphics application, which was previewed at April's National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference, sources said.
		The Motion 1.0 project is said to be in late beta, and should begin shipping by the end of the summer.
		Although Apple has officially deemed the new graphics motion application "Motion," the project was widely known to company employees and beta testers by its code-name "Molokini," after a popular island off the coast of Maui, Hawaii.

	Apple Motion DVD Tutorial
		Apple's Motion compositing program was released for sale approximately two months ago.
		Motion ships with a small "Grand Tour" Guide and a manual in PDF format, and there have been various reviews and tutorials on the web, but no dedicated instructional resources until now.
		Motion PowerStart's narrator is Michael Wohl, a filmmaker, editor, co-creator of Final Cut Pro, and author of "Editing Techniques with Final Cut Pro." Accompanying him in writing the DVD is Josh Mellicker, a certified instructor in Motion.

	Macworld: Review: Motion 2
		Motion still lacks a true 3-D environment—you can’t set multiple cameras or move objects within 3-D space—but when combined with basic 2-D motion, the Basic 3D filter allows you to simulate many of the 3-D operations and movements that you’d get in a true 3-D compositing program.
		Motion 1 had excellent particle filters, and Motion 2 builds on these with dozens of new particle presets that give you a huge assortment of natural and stylized particle effects.
		Motion isn’t an After Effects killer, but it can replace After Effects for many motion-graphics and compositing tasks, and it does so with a working environment that is tremendously superior.

	Macworld: Review: Motion 1.0
		Motion’s interface derives elements from many different Apple apps, but with its tabbed file browser and pop-up menu panes, it most closely resembles DVD Studio Pro 3.
		Though Motion provides a typical timeline-based interface for layering and animating elements in a composite, its interface is more compelling because of the addition of behaviors.
		Motion can’t always muster a full 30 frames per second, but even if playback drops to half that speed, it’s still good enough to judge the overall impact of an effect, to synchronize settings on multiple layers, or to adjust your composite to fit a voice-over.

	Sudden Motion Sensor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apple introduced the system 1 January 2005 in its refreshed PowerBook line, and included it in the iBook line 26 July 2005.
		Since that time, Apple has included the system in all of their portable systems, now the MacBook and MacBook Pro (as of October 2006).
		As of October 2006, Apple has not documented the API for the device, and its characteristics vary from model to model.

	Apple Motion PowerStart
		As Motion is such a new application, there is a dearth of tutorial material and up until now we have been on our own.
		Michael starts us off with a thorough tour of the Motion interface by actually demonstrating all of the basic features that are at our disposal by utilizing the same media that we will use later on in the lessons.
		Motion is program with drag and drop abilities and an intuitive nature, so it is easy to get started and create some basic motion graphics.

	Review - Motion: Apple Pro Training Series
		This is the first major book on Motion to arrive within the Apple editing community and it is all I had been hoping it would be.
		This is the book that should have accompanied Motion when it was purchased rather than the incomplete, non-manual supplied with the application.
		While it would certainly benefit the new user, and we are all new to Motion to varying degrees, to take one chapter at a time, there is no reason that one cannot skip the chapters/lessons that they already feel comfortable in and jump around through the book to their hearts content.

	macteens Magazine - Apple Releases Motion
		Motion is an advanced motion graphics design application that combines the power of applications such as Adobe’s After Effects and Apple’s real-time Velocity Engine-powered technology (plus some added bonus features that After Effects can hardly compete with).
		Motion is slated to be a huge hit in the pro digital production field, and as such, Apple has included it in its new $1300 Production Suite, which includes Final Cut Pro HD, DVD Studio Pro 3, and Motion.
		Motion is retailing at Apple’s website for an amazing $299 - a steal compared to Adobe’s $1000 After Effects package.

	First Impressions: Apple Motion 2 - VFXTalk.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Now, to begin, Motion is a program that, last year, had the entire creative community abuzz with excitement, yet failed somehow to maintain that excitement after its rollout.
		At any rate, the price point--at $299--was great for a professional motion graphics application; the features were solid, in many cases quite innovative; and the performance was simply awesome; but the program just didn't quite catch on as many had expected.
		After all, Motion can't do everything that After Effects can do, and, even if it could, few people would be willing to turn from such a core tool as After Effects in favor of a new upstart like Motion, even if all of Apple's other professional creative tools have proved top-notch.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Motion is a remarkably powerful, intuitive, and easy-to-use tool for creating titles, animation, and effects.
		Motion's secret, or so Apple tells us, is that most of the graphics processes are carried out by the GPU rather than the CPU.
		This is where Motion's interaction with Photoshop becomes apparent; if you try to import a Photoshop file with more than one layer, Motion asks you which layer you want to use ("all" is an option).

	MacUpdate: Apple Motion Reviews
		Apple's Motion interface is clearly taken straight from Flame / Inferno and other Discreet products, so the lexicon is familiar for professionals.
		While Motion doesn’t provide any features that the competition doesn’t already handle, its combination of nearly real-time performance and a simple interface will cause animators, titlers, and compositors to take a serious look at its capabilities.
		Well, to say that Motion runs smoothly with 512 MB is a lie, not a white lie, but a big one.

		Motion provides a library of more than 150 original Replicator presets, letting you easily create everything from video wallpaper to spiral galaxies to lower-third graphic backgrounds.
		In Motion 2, you're never more than a mouse click or two away from what you need, and you're not distracted by a hodgepodge of floating palettes that get in the way of creativity.

	The Apple Sudden Motion Sensor
		Beginning with a certain version of the IOI2CMotionSensor kernel extension (Apple's driver for the onboard accelerometer), the integer ID of the driver function used for retrieving acceleration values changed — from 24 to 21.
		As was widely suggested to me, Apple had not "locked down" the "API" (Apple provides no such API in the first place); nor had it anything to do with the name change from "ams" to "sms" in the output of
		The motion sensing "engine" common to all applications available here now supports reading the function ID and the driver class name as application preferences (at least one AMS application must be run once to create the preference file with default values):

	Motion Graphics for the Masses
		Apple is continuing a trend it began a few years back by developing a desktop application that enables users to deliver professional quality results quickly, intuitively, and inexpensively.
		Motion maximizes the hardware and architecture of the Power Mac G5 and Mac OS X Panther, resulting in realtime, onscreen responsiveness and interactivity.
		Another key feature is Motion's Behaviors, which use procedural animation techniques to create natural simulations, such as gravity and wind, or realistic interaction between multiple objects, such as attraction and repulsion.

	The Sudden Motion Sensor
		The sensor attempts to prevent data loss by parking the heads of an active disk drive after detecting a "sudden motion", which could be due to strong vibrations or a fall.
		"The Sudden Motion Sensor As A Human Interface Device, a sequel to this document, describes the generation of keyboard and mouse events using the Sudden Motion Sensor.
		An important caveat is that if one were to use the AMS for anything that involves moving the machine, it would be undesirable to have the module keep parking and unparking the heads as the computer moves.

		A more convenient tool for logging data might also be useful and hopefully an adaptation of the arcade game Neverball will soon be in the works.
		All you should need for a VERY crude inertial nav system is the PowerBook's mass properties (center of mass, actual mass, distance of sensor from center of mass, etc) and orientation of the sensor to figure out some rough navigation data.
