Motion 3 is one of the most talked-about new apps in Final Cut Studio 2. It is packed full of new features like 3D environments, point tracking and image stabilization.

Monday, May 26th, 2008The LightWrap and a few other tutorials are not in sync with Motion 3. I’m following every step for the “LightWrap” and I get something totally different.
When I add the “primative RT Keying filter” my screen turns almost completely black instead of his hand turning white. Then when I change the color menu to “alpha” it still doesn’t work right. Is it my settings or what is going on here.
Are you using Motion 2?
