  migrating from Motion 2 to 4

  Posted by Tom Step on October 4, 2010 at 7:58 pm

  … and have some concerns:
  Several projects used in an ongoing series have Motion 2 templates that they use (some modified, some not). Do I have to migrate a folder of these or will the new version contain legacy templates?
  Also will all the behaviors/filters/etc translate to the new version?
  Anything else to be aware of to make a smooth transition?

  Thanks,
  Tom

  Thanks,

  Some of the Text Behaviors have changed so you might lose some behaviors.

  So new gear is in, and I’m having issues with opening old Motion 2 project. Some open some don’t. They are basic animated lower thirds. One file used fonts not available on this box so it replaced it with another, but it OPENED. Some files just crash the app, regardless whether I open them from FCP, the original, or “untitiled” choice. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to what works. Any adice on how to troubleshoot this? I’m sure my editors wanna hear “just remake that in the new version…”

  Thanks,
  Tom
