Great intro to Replicators that really shows how quickly you can build cool looking graphics in only a few steps. I've been playing with Motion for about a month now and it always amazes me how powerful, yet easy it is to do this sort of thing. Thanks!
Thank a lot for your work. Your explanations are very clear, didactical. You're a very good teacher ! Your examples are very creative and useful. There are many others Motion tutorials, I respect the work of people, but they're not pedagogical as you. Bruno (France)
Thank you so much for this series. When you replicate from top left, is there any way to have each cell come in one at a time? I notice it does the whole diagonal row rather than each individual cell and I can't seem to find a work around.
Yes! There’s a few controls that can be a little confusing. There’s cell control and replicator control. Most replicators also include a replicator sequence. This is what you want and can fine tune each and every parameter timing etc.
Kinda, either in two ways, flatten the layer matter and treat it as a single source, or fake it with a clone replicator layer and flip it and lower the opacity so it looks like a reflection. Hope that helps.
Following along and doing well until you replicate the replicator. I cannot do this here in Motion 5.4.4. The Replicate button is greyed out. Searched Apple docs and it says you can't replicate replicators. So, being the newbie that I am, am I missing something?
Try putting the replicator on the group the original replicator is on, instead of the actual replicator. Effectively- motion treats the first replicator as a single ‘flat source’ allowing you to stack the replicators. Hope that clears things up and apologies in the delay. -Stanislaw
Hey Stan, thank you so much for this series! I'm actually curious to know if it's possible to use these sequence replicators to do drop zone transitions. At 15:50, this could be an awesome transition if the element was actually a drop zone and that the background would be another drop zone. Could you do an episode about it please? Keep up the amazing work!
Hi there! The short answer is you totally can- the long answer is it will take a little more work if you want different things in each dropzoone. By default the replicator will copy the 1 dropzone, so you would likely have to figure out the maximum number of squares or rectangles, make that many separate dropzones (or clones to double up some images) and add them all to the replication. Another option would be to make a series of image masks for the transition from A-B creating a reveal of the next clip. Its a very interesting topic. I have a transition lesson coming up in the next weeks, so I'll be sure to be investigating this a bit further. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching. -S
Dear SRL! Just got my first video out - its rudimentary compared to some of the items out there, but learning as I go along. I had to create separate videos and integrate them into iMovie as I don't have Final Cut. Thanks for your help. I'm only on your 8th tutorial and I'll post more as you teach me - all the best! ua-cam.com/video/z5xJp9QM_vc/v-deo.html
2022 man ... and your quietly video and how simple you explain is the best that i have ever seen on youtube ... Thanks

Thanks for watching and the kind words.
This whole series was so helpful! Im off to watch the Final Cut Pro series next!

Im glad you've found them useful.
Hope you make some great content with what you learned.

Thanks for another awesome episode! I look forward to continuing my education with this channel!
really excited to play with replicators tomorrow . thank so much . inspired for sure. ill send over what i put together
Really glad you liked it! Be sure to comment a link to what you put together I'd really like to see it!
thank you so much for your videos! Very useful and very well done!
Many thanks. This was really really really helpful. And very well done.
this is a super helpful episode. you can make some really cool stuff with this
Thanks for checking it out. Motion is crazy powerful when you look at it from an architectural level and what you can do.
amazing tutorial thank you!
Thank you for the free tutorials, I finished my first little project yesterday. Its a bit rough but it has promise, I just need to work on it more.
Thanks so much for the comment. I’m happy to hear it helped you.
Great lesson, thanks
Awesome tutorials!!!!!!!

you are the best, thanks! have you found any ways to make a replicator reflect surroundings?

Interesting- perhaps they changed it? Let me check on this in 5.4.4 and see. Thanks for mentioning this.

I will try making these for fcpx
Can you randomise the replicator sequence?
I believe in the sequencer there is a random selection.

Thanks for your swift reply! Eager to watch this transition lesson!
wow! awesome tutorial
Thanks for watching- Im ramping up my motion lessons over the next few weeks.
Many many thanks for the video tutorials..it has been a great help...please keep them coming ..
Currently have at least 10 more planned and plan on doing 100- if I don't run out of ideas!
After that just make different animations for us that we can follow along with. I learn a ton just by mixing all of the effects together

Just got back in town but I’ll check it out tomorrow! Super pumped for it.
Excellent - in fact just published a new one: ua-cam.com/video/hLmIUAjNF0s/v-deo.html
When do you start the group lessons?"
As of January 2021- Im currently looking into possibility of something like this and if available Ill be sure to have an announcement.
please stop editing your voice. It's unbearably unnatural sounding and distracting. But great videos otherwise!
