Hey everyone!
I hope you are doing super well.

I am out of office right now for the next few days, but scheduled this video and download for you while I am gone. I won't be responding to messages or comments until after August 24th!

This week on the channel, I show how to build the Keyboard shortcut animations I have been using in my videos for years!

Here's an extremely low quality GIF to show it off! 😀

You can learn how to build this for yourself here 👉 https://youtu.be/QCu_OUAUyAc

But, I also have a special bonus video for those of you working on diving even deeper into your knowledge of Motion!

In this bonus video, I show you how to set the quantity of shortcuts on screen at a time, as well as aligning them based on how many you have chosen.



Thank you so much for continuing to support what I do on YouTube. It's absolutely wild how close we are to 100,000 subscribers, and that's hugely in part to your support!

I've got more downloads coming your way soon 😁
-Dylan your Final Cut Bro 👊

You should be able to find your downloads beneath this point! 👇

Thanks Dylan. This is very generous and very informative. Getting around the special Motion quirks from time to time can be frustrating and I bumped into one today. Not knowing how to fix it directly I decided to make two titles and combine the finished projects. Cost me a good half hour and some hair pulling though. 💀

I used to have long hair. But Motion got the best of me 😂 I really hope Apple keeps doing updates like they did with 6.3 -- It had so many bug fixes that have been needed for a very long time. I really hope they keep that trajectory going, cause you're so right.. There really are some strange quirks!
