Apple Motion Templates

I Second that in Motion: 2 Tutorials for Apple Motion 3
Great ideas, templates. Hundreds, no, thousands of Master Templates and Apple-designed graphic elements to be used in one of the smoooo-thest motion graphic apps ever designed. The only problem is that it can be a challenge to customize the templates in Motion, especially as you continue finding your way through the new features of Motion 3. Speaking of which, Motion 3 allows you to create your own templates from scratch, to re-use later. These 2 tutorials from Creative Cow contributing editor Stephen Smith show you how to get started with Apple's templates, as well as your own.
