When will Apple release "Motion"?

[MacDuff]

Hey to all who know,
When is Apple planning on releasing 'Motion'? Or has it been released and I didn't notice. I'm pretty sure it would be put on the front page of apple.com if it did indeed start shipping.

Does anyone know the official release date? Thanks.

Look for more info on Motion shipping to come from Siggraph 2004 in 6 days. My guess would be Motion ships by end of August.

Thanks NuckinFutz.

i am really looking forward to trying this application out. It seems pretty sweet. I am also anticipating the release.

I am new into motion graphics but anyone who knows more about the capabilities, how do you think it will compare and stack up to combustion and after effects?

i just watched the demo of Motion from Apple.com and it looks pretty amazing. People might say that it won't stack up to how robust After Effects is but i wouldn't be surprised if it took center stage. The big pull for me is real-time editing. Of course like all the applications, the faster the hardware the better performance. (*I'm sure the demo was using a duel G5) but still there's something that this will have with that and it's integration with Final Cut Pro.

Looking forward to it's release, come to me Motion....
