Hi friends - Apologies for a dumb question but for the life of me I can't find simple minimalist backgrounds to use for Final Cut Pro (I'm willing to pay for them)
I've attached a screenshot as an example but basically I just want some subtle movement in the background on a solid color and have the overlay text "pop" out (the screenshot is obviously a static picture, but just imagine the white dots in the back making random movements). The screenshot is from Matt D'Avella's video ()
Any recommendations? All the animated backgrounds I've found so far are pretty over-the-top and not what I'm looking for

Your best bet is to create them yourself using Motion. If you don't have Motion, it is a $50 purchase but well worth it for this type of thing and many others. You can create exactly what you want using the included assets (shapes, circles, dots, boxes, etc.) and apply them to any color or gradient or image. Then you simply animate your assets, make the template looping and publish it to FCP and you'll have easy access to it within the editor. There are many free tutorials on using the Motion app if you need them, but this type of project is super simple to create.
I'm sure if you google enough you might find something that already exists at sites like Envato, Shutterstock, Graphic Stock, etc. but if you take the time to do it in Motion you won't regret it - and you'll have extreme flexibility in modifying the template for future use.

Thank you so much for the reply and recommendation dgwvideo! I'm assuming any and all motion graphics can technically be created within Motion correct?
This is definitely something I will check out in the longer term for sure (I really like editing). I think in the short-term I'd definitely want to purchase existing ones so I can (1) Use them and (2) Have them as reference as I build out my own in Motion

Have you tried searching YouTube for copyright free motion graphics? You find all sorts of looping animations which you can use in your videos, as long as you give them credit. Not sure it applies to commercial videos though, but you CAN use them on your YouTube videos, even monetized.
