For even more in-out possibilities Tap5a Quick In-Out Revealer works well with my other free plugin Quick In-Out Animator: www.fcp.co/forum/transitions/26909-quick-in-out-animator

Thanks Tapa, very well done in terms of creation & promotion.

Can you kindly give me a hint from where you get the sound & screen recorder...

Hope you have restful nights and you enjoy the time with the baby (well I guess already 2-3montsh old right now)

Thanks Tobias! Yes nights are getting better as she's over 3 months now

For screen recording I simply use Quicktime Player and it's screen recording capabilities. Quicktime Player -> File -> New Screen Recording. For music I use Epidemic Sound (www.epidemicsound.com/). They've 13 euros /month subscription plan for youtubers where you can use as much music as you like on your YouTube channel. I'm using that.

… aaaand another excellent one from our friend from Finland. Kudos!
LOVE your idea, Tapio, to mimic an Interface… maybe I borrow that for a future project…

meant as a suggestion:
Motion HAS a 'rectangle OnSceen selector', we plugin-makers can abuse for our needs, just de-construct my TimeCodeVanisher , to see it in use.

You find in it under Filter/Tile and its called Kaleidoltile… offers 8 (!) handles to manipulate a rectangle, incl. rotation… if you don't want that you have to Clamp that parameter… yeah a bit more complicated than goo' ol' Bulge/Poke

Thanks Karsten! Really appreciate your acknowledgment and suggestion! I've been tinkering with Kaleidoscope OSC but I don't like how center of rectangle 'dims' the background so it's harder to see what's 'inside'. But let's see...

Absolutely … therefor, it's a 'real' OSC = no manual switchingOff needed, and it's controllable on screen … not offsite in the Inspector …

Dreaming of an MotionX, offering a Lego-box of OSC-elements to construct controllers and such without that annoying workarounds <sigh> .....

Yeah, let's hope we get positively surprised by Motion 5.4

Thank you Tap5

At the snail's pace Motion has been getting developed, I'd not hold my breath.

This is great! I love the customizable options.
