Final Cut Pro X, Apple Motion 5 and iMovie 2013

Although many Final Cut Pro X users were disappointed that Apple didn’t announce a new version on October 22, the day’s launches provided some interesting news.

The first of which is that most of the effects, titles, generators and transitions in iMovie 2013 were created using Motion 5, the animation software used to make plugins for Final Cut Pro X.

It is possible to open the titles, effects, generators and transitions built into iMovie using Motion 5.

Also, using an undocumented method unsupported by Apple, you can install Final Cut Pro X plugins into iMovie 2013.

More later today!
