Apple motion m1 pro#

Motion has been around since 2004, and while new features have been added, it is still very much the same.

Why can I not view my projects on an external display? Why can I not see my inspector and Library at the same time? I have a huge wishlist for what I would like it to be. As an end user animation tool, not so much. As a development tool, it works pretty well, and rough around the edges is ok. Apple seems to have treated Motion more as a development tool for Final Cut plugins than an actual end user animation software. I have noticed that Motion templates tend to play better in FCPX, than they do in Motion itself. I was wondering about Motion's performance on the Mac Studio. If you could upload a sample Motion template we could test on various machines, that might help. When you play a project in Motion, you can optionally render a RAM preview. Another question is what is the CPU/GPU workload split when executing your Motion template. If it involves a runtime engine, one question is to what extent can the additional M1 Max CPU cores be leveraged in parallel. I don't know if those are always interpreted, sometimes compiled, 'just in time' compiled, or to what extent the Motion runtime engine is require in various cases. It appears that Motion is based on a runtime engine which interprets template directives. All built-in FCP effects are Motion-based but what aspect of Motion each one stresses (or even the internal architecture of Motion) is unknown. The BruceX benchmark is a GPU-oriented test using standard Final Cut generators, titles and transitions. However benchmarks measure different things, and exactly what software 'load path' they are measuring is not always obvious (or even knowable).

I ran the BruceX benchmark on my 2017 i7 iMac 27 (running FCP 10.5.3 on Catalina) vs my M1 Max MacBook Pro (running FCP 10.6.3 on Monterey) and the M1 Max was about 3.5x faster.
