System Requirements

• macOS 10.7 (or later).
• Final Cut Pro 10.1 (or later).
• Motion 5.1 (or later).

Apple Silicon (M1 processor) compatibility

Effects and generators do NOT currently work on Apple Silicon however transitions DO work as they are Motion projects without any custom code. We are exploring future compatibility for effects and generators but a total rewrite would be required so unfortunately this is a low priority at this time.

* For historical reasons, DH_CounterX and DH_SubtitleX only allow a choice from a fixed list of standard macOS fonts. Custom fonts are not supported.
** Only Final Cut Pro X supports transitions. They will not be available in Motion.
