New Apple Motion 4 Advanced workshop launching in April 2010

The new workshop will cover advanced features of Motion 4, including extensive coverage of the 3D environment, camera techniques, integration with Cinema 4D & lighting/reflection tips & tricks. Many of the techniques covered are beyond the scope of the Apple Certification curriculum, so are aimed at experienced users only.

Motion 4 is included in the latest version of Final Cut Studio and has many improvements over the previous version, most of which are covered in detail in the course.

The workshop runs for 4 hours & will be initially available exclusively through Handy Training Online course hosts only.

Details of the course content will be published on our course page so don't forget to subscribe to the RSS feed.
