Motion 5.4 new feature

As M5.4 is out for a few weeks the only big “improvement “‘seems to be the overshoot behavior based on new YouTube videos related to m5.4. Is that right ? If so should I laugh or cry sorry in case critical posts are not welcome

@Ben
copy/paste is a God's sent, hm?

@Tobi
share your disappointment … ok, any stability fixes is good (haven't tested 'nested Align-to', maybe I should stop criticizing that :whistle: ), the new CC tools are awesome - in FCPX, see no real need to made'm available in Motion (color-correction in an animation tool??) , and that 360°-stuff is … beyond me (pun-paah!!).

No! Trying to find some use in my world:

Welcome to the mind-bending (ey, quiet easy to make jokes about 360+VR …) world of equirectangularism and such LOL.

Actually tinkering on a new set of titles using the Overshoot Behavior … fun.

… but Apple should have given us a few more toys to play with, publish-able Audio-parameters, or an 'Inspector UI construction Kit' (dividers, help boxes etc), collision detection … such.

New Years resolution: sending frequently my wishlist of Enhancements … hahaha!

At guru so 90% of new features are related to 360. good for those being interested in Rest I personally consider as being worth a side remark in a press release. Don’t understand that policy or product development as I assume more then 2-3 people develop that app or maybe the rest just enjoys their Apple shares )

Optical flow. Well that bug ähhh sorry Feature has been out for years

At Karsten,
Yes for us their is little benefit hmmm GoPro 360 for a soccer game

Okay I stop and hope for 5.5 in 2019/2020 as it seems that every 1.9 years a big release is published

Motion and Compressor are handled by the same group, which oddly are separate (both in personnel and geography) from the FCPX team. I've always been a bit disappointed that Compressor and Motion don't get more meaningful updates than they do. But, that's what Apple does, they've been doing this for decades, fill out the feedback form.
