The guide also provides a great summary of what's new in Motion including

enhanced 3D shadows, reflections, and depth of field;
the ability to "fly" a camera from one object to another;
ripple text characters on and off the screen with ease;
animate date and time sequences automatically;
Motion's remarkable new linking behavior, and more.
