Apple Motion Professional Training 07 – Emitters

Apple Motion Professional Training series 07- Emitters

Learn the basics of building emitter systems in Apple Motion.
All emitters contain emitter cells, and a source for the cells, and the emitter system layer. Learn how to set colors, and emitter shapes, as well as opacity over life in this intro to emitters. Emitters are a very large topic and there will be further lessons covering some of the other features of emitters in the future.

 

You will learn what an emitter is, what it is made of and how to adjust them to create a simple bokeh Background scene in Apple Motion.
