My tutorial about making FCPX effects in Motion

Hey everyone. I'm new here, but I've visited several times over the years. I have been learning to use Motion 5, and I've seen a lot of nice tutorials, but most of them focus on using Motion for graphics and titles. I want to use it to make VISUAL EFFECTS that can be used in video projects. I haven't seen many tutorials like that, so I decided to make an effect of my own (which I think can serve a useful purpose) and explain the process I followed. I hope you like it. Please comment and share!



The effect I made is called "Seeing Stars" which tries to capture the look of someone seeing stars after a bump on the head or whatever. I'll upload the effect (a Generator, actually) to the forum too, so you can try it out.

Hope you all like it. Let me know what you think.

Thanks Ronny. Nice to be here.

One of the things I love most about Motion and FCPX is that they make it so easy for users to create and share templates and effects, almost like an open source program. And this forum is the best place I've found for that sharing to happen.
