Have spent a couple days with this book now and I really like it. I'm a developer, not a designer. Having very detailed, step by stepinstructions such as these is exactly the way to get into it if you really want to do something with the program, as opposed to watching some instructional video which leaves you with no knowledge except "boy, that guy is good."It's designed so that you can pick it up just about anywhere and follow along, which I appreciate. It leads to a lot of repetition, e.g. "Press F7 to open the HUD," but that's a feature, not a bug. By the time you realize it's a repetition, you've actually learned that "F7 = open HUD" and know what the HUD is.It's not chatty, not trying to be your friend. Just trying to get you up to speed.I should add that both the book and the example code could use some careful proof reading. e.g. two projects so far depend on fonts that you have to go download and install. Or they start in a state slightly different from what is described in the text. In the text errors such as it's for its and a long for along.

Thanks

Actually I thought this book was a collection of different "recipes" of what you can do in Motion. In my opinion it's more of a how to book than a cookbook. Having gone through a couple chapters, this book is megatons better than any tutorial I have ever encountered. It breaks down Motion so that the average Joe could understand. It wasn't what I thought it was, but I'm happy that it wasn't. I actually am pleased with the way it guides me through the program. I so far have learned things about Motion that I didn't know previously having gone through two other tutorial programs. It's so clear and simple, I want to say thank you to the author for doing an excellent job!

It uses the author's own files and projects. I really need more of a reference book with how-tos that are not tied to a specific case.

Apple Motion 5 Cookbook: With this book you'll be able to fully exploit the fantastic features of Apple Motion. There are over 110 recipes with downloadable content for each chapter and stacks of screenshots. A video editor's dream.
