Introducing Corel® MotionStudio 3D
Corel® MotionStudio 3D™ is a complete and versatile 3D title, animation, and motion graphics package that makes it easy for anyone to create exciting 3D visual effects for use in their video productions.
Professional text and titles for video
Everywhere you see video these days, you’ll see some form of animated text or titling. Turn on the news or a sports network, and every story is introduced or augmented with some manner of moving text. In the television industry, these animations are known as lower third graphics.
At the movies, you see title sequences that orient or prepare viewers for what’s to come. The opening sequence for Star Wars is the most famous example of this; text slowly crawling up the screen, set against a star field backdrop, readying viewers for the fantastic journey they’re about to embark on.
MotionStudio 3D now offers this powerful capability to video enthusiasts, providing a wealth of presets and practically limitless do-it-yourself creative options, so you can tell your story, your way.
Real-time 3D graphics and effects
MotionStudio 3D also provides a realistic particle effects system that simulates the appearance of natural elements, such as bubbles, fire, smoke, and snow. You can even import bitmap or vector graphics to use as custom particle effects.
In addition, the automatic extrusion of 2D text and graphics by MotionStudio 3D lets you transform virtually any graphic object into animated 3D, or even simulated 3D for use in a 2D design. So you can easily import and give new life to imagery created with your favorite graphics-editing software.
Professional-quality 3D output
With MotionStudio 3D, you can export your projects to popular image, 3D model, video, and animation formats. This makes it easy to use your MotionStudio 3D creations anywhere.
You can incorporate them into a video production created with your preferred video editor, such as
®
Adobe Pro, or virtually any other conventional video editor. Plus, you can choose from a variety of other video formats, such as AVI, 3GPP, MOV, MPEG, MP4, and WMV.
Premiere® Elements, Corel® VideoStudio®
In consumer video production, working with the third dimension of depth has been a long-standing request. MotionStudio 3D provides a fast and responsive environment that lets anyone create complex 3D graphics, animations, and effects in real time — with no waiting around while the 3D is rendered.
If you want to use animated 3D on the web,
®
MotionStudio 3D supports Flash
(SWF) and GIF formats. You can also export your project as a 3D model, with support for both DirectX
®
and 3D Studio formats. What’s more, you can save your 3D animation as uncompressed, 32 bits-per-pixel video, which preserves transparency values that are crucial for properly blending 3D objects into a video production.
