Bought a new video production tool, yesterday.

-=-=-

Apple's "Motion" is essentially a Final Cut Lite, and lets you do all manner of fancy effects to your videos.
I opted to pick it up because it has the ability to alter layer parameters based on the volume/frequency of the audio.
This essentially means I can wrap music into the backgrounds, and come up with some nice new video styles for AL.

Giving it a quick trial run, late last night, I managed to get a vaguely dancing/swirling starfield, and then layer a nice scrolly message over the top.
It was pretty effortless, other than the learning that had to take place to get it all to work!
I *think* it's functional enough that I can do some nice effects with it, but we'll have to wait and see just how good I am at using it.

Either way, it's great to have a new tool to play with.
Hurray!
