Hi Denice,
Thanks a for for your well made and step by step tutorial! I really love it. It help me to decide to learn Motion by myself. Thanks you for that.
I have an issue to use a generator in FCP I made (animated percentage circle). Actually in FCP it display a red counter with “2” written and an exclamation point in a yellow warning triangle.
What did I made wrong ? I followed step by step many time but my generator it doesn’t work…
I use Motion version 5.4.2, and FCP 10.4.3
Thanks a lot for your help,
Erwan
Hi Erwan,
We’re very happy to know that you find our tutorials helpful! 🙂
In order to use a template created by Motion 5.4.2, you’ll need FCPX 10.4.4 or above. Otherwise the red warning sign will show up. Simply update your FCPX and it will work perfectly.
Cheers,
Denice
Great
I love your work and have purchased the infographics and 40 titles. I have a question regarding the animated circle graph. I am able to create the graph, but I was trying to duplicate the inner dashed circle on yours. I tried linking the end offset point of the dashed circle, but it does not animate. I even tried duplicating the original animated graph and changing the outline to dashed, but that did not work either. It seems as if it won’t animate two linked parameter behaviors at once. Any tips?
Hi Jerome,
Thank you for your message!
Are you editing the template on FCPX or Motion 5? And which template is it (I reckon the circle percentage scene) ? Please email me at simplevideomaking@gmail.com with more details and I’ll have a look for you.
Cheers,
Denice
Hello,
I love your work, these are really amazing. Do you have many titles for FCPX 10.2?
If so how do I find these on your page?
Thanks,
Wai
Hi Wai,
Thank you for checking out my work and for your compliments! 🙂 Unfortunately, none of the titles are compatible with FCPX 10.2. They have been updated, and can’t be switched back to older version. 🙁
Cheers,

Hello!
I’d like to buy Travel Routes on a 3D Rotating Globe and ANIMATED FLAT ICON.
Is it possible?
And how much will it be?
Sincerely, Ella
Hi Ella,
Unfortunately they are not for sale at the moment 🙂

Hi,
Thank you for your work with all tutorials. It’s really great help for motion’ users like me. I’ve learned lot of with you.
I think on a project looks really hard for me. It will be similar to this kind of things (https://youtu.be/0Ept5dpVfuc)
I don’t know how to work now, maybe this is stuff you can show us or maybe principle of the animation.
If you can help with a tuto, it will be fantastic
I hope you will Continue your Youtube channel
Thank you…
Seb
Hello Seb,
Thank you for dropping by my website and leaving me a message!
The 2D animation video you’ve shared looks very awesome. I believe it is created with Adobe After Effects. Which part of the video you’re planning to (re)create using Motion 5? The video is a combination of many effects, so it’d be great if you can let me know which effect you’d like to create and I may be able to make a tutorial on that!
And thank you very much for watching my Youtube channel. I’ll try my best to keep it up!
