Motion sure has come a distance compared to nowadays. None the less it still a very powerful moving graphics tool. This tutorial definitely covers a large topic.

Very educational.
Easy to understand.
Maybe a little to much waiting when Motion
is progressing, a cut in the film clip will have shorten it.
Anyway I enjoyed it especially the knowledge concerning television!

This course was a love-hate thing. On the negative side, As other reviewers have noted, it was somewhat tedious. The instructor just didn't cover ground very fast. He covered very small steps multiple times and sometimes slowly. There was alot of quiet space, and there was alot of waiting with the instructor while things rendered. On the positive side, if you are patient, you will learn the basics of getting around Motion! The course did what I paid it to do!

This "walk through" series of lessons is well suited for someone looking to get their head wrapped around the basic concepts of Motion 2 and digital video editing in general. It sets the stage for Motion 201 by the same author.

Sorry but this does not press my button. I have more than a dozen excellent MacProVideo tutorials but this is dull, slow and, frankly irritating. I'd ask for my money back, except that it came in a bundle and it would cost more than the price of this element to buy the others separately.
Come on MacProVideo - tighten this up, get some energy into it, get a decent script and reissue it. Jamie knows his stuff but is not a presenter.

I bought the Motion bundle and have worked through this 101 version. Its really a great product. Its broken down into manageable segments which allow for interruption or multiple sittings. I have used the Total Training for After Effects and it was P-A-I-N-F-U-L to use. I got through one disc and gave up. Not so with this set up. I downloaded it and went to work. The instructor does move a bit slow at times and this version could use some "tightening up" but overall a great value for the price. I can actually find my way around Motion and accomplish much of what I bought After Effects for.
