Motion 5

As part of the editing process, I am going to be using Motion 5. The video above explains the basics of the program and how to animate text.

For my director's animated logo (discussed in a post on 17/10/12), Motion 5 will be a great way of creating a full-working animation sequence of approximately 5 seconds, which will be shown at the end of the video.

Here is some of my research into Motion so far:

Anchoring text is something else I am considering using during the opening of my music video. Where the 'STILL HERE' title appears, I am thinking of applying this effect, however this is to be experimented with first. 

Key-framing will be important in animating the text/logo. 

I also have the option of going down the route of developing text as Kinetic Typography. This might in fact work better, however I don't want the 'director's title' to simply look like a title sequence.

I have also recently discovered the Trail effect that can be made in Motion. I think this could be useful during the firework scenes towards the end of the video. By having several copies of the fireworks in sequence and then manipulating motion by reversing and slowing/speed up, it could look quite effective.
