Motion Search FAQ

What is this?

This is a custom search engine, powered by Google, that allows you to search industry specific websites for tutorials, information, and tools. Gone are the days of searching for Redshift and ending up with Amazon Redshift results and ads—hopefully at least! Let us know if you see anything amiss and we'll try to fix it.

What data do you collect?

We heavily respect your privacy. In fact, we were almost able to build this without any ability for any of the engines to track anything, but it wasn't possible while keeping the search narrowed to specific sites. This engine is built by Google and so it's about the same as using Google itself. For further information on what is collected, check here. No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is collected.

How can I add my site to this search?

We're trying our best to link in websites within the motion industry that either offer tutorials or tools. This particular engine does not search specific people's work, although it does allow for Vimeo and YouTube at the moment. It's intent is to help you figure things out, it's not yet an inspiration search engine but that may come in the future. If we've forgotten you—and we've almost even forgotten some of our own friends on here because there's a lot of great resources—feel free to contact us on X @workbenchtv.

Why doesn't this work on my phone?

I mean, it works...it just isn't going to look good! We've only optimized for desktop so far because the intent of this engine is to help you while you're working.
