Apple Motion Latest Version
Hadda Condino
I've researched into dual booting an older version of Mac OS, but it isn't possible on M1.
All the VM's I've looked into can run Linux and Windows but only ARM versions.
(Can I possibly run Mac OS Big Sur in VMware Fusion?)
Hi @adabella, we have done some further testing of our older V2 hand tracking software for Mac and whilst this software will work with the Apple M1 chips unfortunately it is not compatible with macOS Monterey and will not detect a connected Leap Motion Controller.
As Mac support is deprecated we will not be making any changes or updates to our legacy V2 release for Mac however Mac Support is on the roadmap and we are looking to make Gemini available for macOS later this year.
so basically I have an m1 with Monterey, I have been able to get this working - the caveat is just that it doesn't work as it did before - still inspecting the changes. the issue is that it doesn't register the device connected (leap motion controller) so any software you want to use for the web socket is nerfed.
so after a bit of testing, and some random luck I found this method has it working.
I load the leap motion software - goto settings: recalibrate device
from here you will get a screen that requests you connect your leap (even though it is already)
from here I restart the Mac mini m1 -
when I restart I'm presented with a working diagnostic for the leap settings, but also the controller resumes so I can use it for web socket stuff.
hope this can help some people - I know dan helped me before -
now the issue is that - before I used touches_lm and it gave me a nice green spot to hover click with - and in Monterey it appears the mouse cursor itself becomes integrated. it still works but your mileage may vary.
please someone help me set up lets become the two that work together to solve this ish and get the controller launched and go str8 to the moon with this technology I see it having limitless possibilities in where the tech can go/ help people in the future WE CANNOT GIVE UP lets try to work together and get this baby to work on Mac osx .. I do have an older MacBook def has older osx I can try to hook up there I just need to find a charger for the old laptop
we can make this work we just need to set up a discord and get this baby rolling and some smart young heads working on breaking the MacBook osx, or maybe lets contact apple and get a developer tooling we need to make this work that we clearly don't have the clearance for..
The original product, codenamed "Molokini," was demonstrated at the NAB Show in Las Vegas on April 19, 2004.[1][2] At a pre-NAB event in April 2005, Apple Computer released the second version of Motion along with new revisions of the other Pro applications, optimised for the Power Mac G5 and Mac OS X 10.4.
Motion 5 was introduced on June 21st, 2011 and once again became available as a stand-alone product through the Mac App Store at a reduced price of $49.99.[3] Version 5.5 was released on November 12, 2020 with support for macOS Big Sur and Apple M1-based Macs.[3]
Motion is a motion graphics and compositing application similar in some ways to Adobe After Effects and Discreet Combustion. With version 3, Apple added 3D compositing, vector paint, and motion tracking to Motion's toolbox. This added power, plus the GPU accelerated nature of Motion, allows it to be seen as an alternative to those packages for titling and simple animation projects.
Features of Motion include the ability to create custom particle effects (as well as using pre-built ones) and to add filters, effects and animations in real time. Motion has the ability to address up to 32 GB of RAM and GPU acceleration at 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit float color depths.[1][2] Motion 2 can also integrate with a MIDI keyboard, so that parameters can be controlled by keys or faders; this opens up the possibility real time parameter input into Motion. In addition Motion 3 now allows for complete 2D and 3D compositing in a multiplane environment.
As well as supporting traditional keyframe animation, Motion introduced a system of pre-set 'behaviors' which can be combined to create realistic animations. For instance, the 'throw' behaviour will move an object across the screen. Combined with the 'gravity' behavior, it will simulate a realistic arc of motion. The effects can be tweaked utilizing various parameters, varying the strength of the bounces, the amount of gravity to apply and so on.
This is very different from traditional animation software, which requires the use of keyframes to determine the position of an object at any given time. Such software then automatically creates motion to fill the spaces between the keyframes. This makes it easy to know exactly where objects are on the screen at any given time, but it is considerably more difficult to create realistic animations that build up on different, conflicting forces.
In Version 2 a new 'replicator' function was introduced, which allows an object to be replicated to create a repeating pattern of a specified size and shape. With this tool, it is possible to create animations in which the elements of a replicated pattern move in sequence.
'Particle emitters' allow the user to set a pre-drawn shape to rapidly generate copies of itself and emit them across the screen. The direction and intensity can be adjusted, and combined with behaviors to create very complex animations quickly and easily. For example, a particle emitter used in conjunction with a star shape and the 'vortex' behaviour would animate a circle of swirling stars.
Motion features a floating semi-transparent window ("head-up display", or HUD) which displays the most commonly altered parameters of the object or effect currently selected. This allows the user to make quick adjustments without having to search through palettes and menus. However, exact numerical values cannot be entered in this window.
Motion uses pixel shaders which move the processing of video effects to the graphics processing unit (GPU) of a modern graphics card. Motion is also compatible with Apple's Core Image technology, allowing one to use the Image Units that come standard with Mac OS X Tiger. Like pixel shaders, Core Image 'stacks' various effects, allowing a number of effects to be combined together without slow-down. A faster graphics card improves performance. Motion is also the first Pro App to introduce FxPlug Apple's plug-in architecture that allows for GPU acceleration.
In Motion, users import their own graphics files and use pre-prepared graphics such as text and shapes. Objects can be grouped into layers, but they always retain their own distinct identity. These various parts are then grouped into a single layer. Selecting that layer permits moving all of the objects as a single body.

DaVinci Resolve is the only application in the world that lets everyone work together in parallel on the same project and at the same time! Learn More
DaVinci Resolve is divided into "pages", each of which gives you a dedicated workspace and tools for a specific task. Editing is done on the cut and edit pages, visual effects and motion graphics on the Fusion page, color correction on the color page, audio on the Fairlight page, and media organization and output on the media and deliver pages. All it takes is a single click to switch between tasks!
The Fusion page lets you create cinematic visual effects and broadcast quality motion graphics right inside of DaVinci Resolve! Fusion features a node based workflow that makes it faster and easier to create sophisticated effects and animations than you could ever create using a layer based approach. You get hundreds of 2D and 3D tools for visual effects and motion graphics, along with advanced animation curve and keyframe editors that allow you to create incredibly organic and realistic animations. Fusion has everything from point, planar and 3D camera tracking to rotoscope and keying tools for creating photorealistic composites, stunning animated titles, 3D particle systems and more! Learn More
The media and delivery pages have everything you need to import, manage and deliver final projects. The media page is a dedicated full screen workspace that lets you prepare footage, sync clips, organize media into bins and add metadata before you start editing. Use the clone palette to ensure every bit of data in the camera media cards is copied during backup. During edit or grading, stream video outputs to a remote client monitor via DeckLink. You can output and upload files to YouTube, Vimeo and X from anywhere page using the quick export tool. The deliver page gives you total control over all encoding options and formats, along with a render queue for exporting multiple jobs! Learn More
