Is it possible to rotoscope in Motion 5?

… Can anyone point to a gallery of effects other than titles in M5?

just check this (incomplete) list of free plug-ins

..... which are mostly done in Motion.

As the manufacturer says:

And easy-to-use motion graphics tools for creating eye-catching titles, transitions, and effects. Motion is the perfect companion to Final Cut Pro.

no, I wasn't clear enough - without FCPX you create the listed effects (e.g. film looks, color corrections, simulated effects, etc) in Motion5. you can (= you don't have to!) 'convert' such an effect into a plug-in.

my idea, pointing you to that list, was to show you what be accomplished with Motion (and, if you want, can be used as a plug-in in FCPX) - .... M5 works as a stand-alone app, but also as 'plug in generator' for FCPX.

this topic started about rotoscoping … which you didn't meant, obviously, you're looking for color-corrections, see fox' posts. we now discuss the endless options of Motion5 😉

I can only recommend to test-drive Motion in an AppStore, or browse thru the manual:

you have very special needs, which - inmhu! - are a bit off Motions intentions.

it offers tons of filters, with zillions of options to adjust it.

as its name implies: the focus is on motion graphic, less picture processing.

I guess, a second thread with a more descriptive title will only appeal 'the usual suspects', listed on the right column under 'Top Participants'. 😉

and, finally, a more 'Photoshop-ish' tool as After Effects is maybe better suited to what you want - but this'll bang your wallet! 👿

no trial of M5.

you don't see this?

and I linked to an awarded movie about camera tests ...

maybe late on your side of the globe 😉
