I have successfully used Keynote to create automations, exported the Keynote file as an MP4 and dragged it into iMovie. A no extra cost solution to iMovie’s limited titles. Would there be any advantage to purchase Motion?

Motion is integrated into Apple's Final Cut Pro, but for iMovie, the Motion file would need to be exported into an MP4 and reopened within iMovie - the same technique that I use with a Keynote produced MP4 file.
That sounds correct, since iMovie does not accept plug-ins.
Here's a link to an interesting You Tube video that shows how to use some of the features of the Motion app. It looks pretty cool.

You would need to do some research, perhaps beyond this forum, to decide for yourself whether Apple's Motion app would be an advantage to providing special effects in iMovie. I personally am not familiar with the Motion app and do not know whether and to what extent it works in iMovie, so regrettably cannot be of much help.
Hopefully someone on this forum who has experience with the app will chime in here.

Should I use Apple Motion with iMovie?
