Wait until version 2.0. Maybe version 3.

And I guess 2005 every new Apple app will be CoreVideo and/or CoreGraphics enabled.
Among the most appreciated features in Motion are particles, full 10 bit support, Excellent interface; interactive playback; great particle system; extremely powerful behavior mechanism and last but not least a great price!!!
With its promise of real-time compositing, color correction, and a drag-and-drop interface-not to mention its $299 price-few programs have been as eagerly anticipated as Apple's Motion 1.0. Video editors and motion-graphics pros wondered if Apple's new product would provide an alternative to their current compositing application, be it Adobe After Effects 6.5, Discreet's Combustion 3 (; September 2004), or Apple's own Shake. The answer is no-the program is not an outright replacement for those far more expensive tools. But after using Motion for just a few days, you may be surprised at how much of your compositing and graphics workload you will choose to move to this excellent new contender.
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. The program is so tightly integrated with Final Cut Pro HD that video editors who have been looking for a more powerful titling tool than the one built into Final Cut will find an excellent solution in Motion.
* Don't run Motion with Multiple Programs running, this will speed up the real time effects
* Don't use 2 Screens on a Dual Head Video Card with 64MB of RAM or Less as this will affect your performance Adversely!
* Have at LEAST 512MB of RAM
* Pause the Live Real Time effects such as Particle Emitters while working to speed up your workflow.

Also requires Dual g5 and $500 video card for even somewhat real time performance.
Stay away until v2 is released or you will be frustrated beyond belief.

Well, I have seen it on NAB and DV Expo, but it wasn't ready. Finally at Siggraph 2004 it reached a final stage. Since last Friday (27th Aug 2004) I am working with it!!! It's just so incredible with a G4 or G5 with a ultra fast graphic card. To say it's mind blowing wouldn't even come close to it!!! If Adobe will compete with it, they have to start from the very beginning and implement it with Xcode 1/5 on Mac OS X 10.3 and as soon as Tiger will be out with Xcode 2.0 they can recompile it and just polish it a bit. Otherwise if they try to just improve the existing AAE 6.5 it could prove to be a neverending story.
I'll will never come back to After Effects this is already sure. Behaviours are so much cooler and easier to handle. Check it out!!! The hottest app since a very long time!
That is not so for the majority of situations unless you create somethiing so incredibly simple and in fact it will only run reasonably well with a top of the line $500 video card and Dual g5.
It is also buggy and crashes frequently and chokes beyond 300 frames. At this point cannot even begin to replace After Effects for a serious motion graphics artist.

You need power, power and more power under the hood, but this software will blow your mind away.

Adobe has keyframes, keyframes... and again keyframes. What a boring approach!!!
It's the first time Apple can challenge Adobe. And Encore DVD is even in version 1.5 still a piece of something in progress. We will see a bunch of people moving from After Effects and Adobe Video Collection to Motion and /or Apple Production Suite. It's gonna be hot I can tell you

years now and it's about time the Adobe
had more competition. From what I've read and seen, Motion could be a worthy replacement. and at a price that will
make greedy Adobe take stock. Well done
Apple!
