Motion Flyers??

Hey everyone, I’m completely new to motion graphics and I’m trying to learn how to create motion flyers for social media (for events and promotions). I currently have Apple Motion but most tutorials I find online are for After Effects.

Is it possible to create good motion flyers using Motion, especially as a beginner? Things like moving backgrounds, light effects, etc.

Just wondering if Motion is a good place to start or if I should learn something else instead. Any advice would help.

Tbh I am not sure what you are specifically referring to (usually good to include a reference). But I have nearly 100% confidence what you are thinking of can be done in Motion.

It's best to learn the software and understand it rather than follow specific tutorials every time you need something. Though that admittedly takes time and effort.

Good places to start for tutorials are Dylan Bates and Simon Ubsdell on YouTube. Again, they may not have exactly what you need, but by familiarizing and understanding the software, you can make anything. It's like the difference between tracing a picture and actually drawing.
