After months of effort, we are happy and proud to announce that my newest tutorial, Motion 4 Up and Running, is shipping through Ripple Training.

You'll also learn how to create custom transitions called alpha transitions, which you can use in Final Cut Pro 7. We've included hundreds of tips and techniques that you can instantly put to work in your projects!
Finally, we’ve included over 50 project files you can use for following along or modify for your own projects. This tutorial is available for download in iTunes and sells for $49.00.
This tutorial is for folks who are familiar with Motion 3. If you aren’t yet comfortable with Motion 3, we are offering a very attractive bundle price for both Motion 3 Fast Forward and Motion 4 Up and Running.
