Designed for video editors, Motion is a powerful motion graphics tool that makes it easy to create cinematic 2D and 3D titles, fluid transitions, and realistic effects in real time.
2D and 3D Titles
Import 360° media and design 360° titles, generators, and effects
Build 3D titles from scratch, design them with easy-to-use templates, or instantly convert any existing 2D title to 3D
Easily create beautiful titles that you can animate using more than 100 drag-and-drop behaviors and intuitive text animation tools
Choose from a large collection of text styles to create stunning designs in one click
Customize 3D titles to create endless looks with over 90 Apple-designed 3D materials including various metal, wood, and stone surfaces
Vector-based characters scale, skew, and rotate with pristine sharpness, while the modern engine in Motion lets you design in real-time
