  Motions stuck on last saved project

  Posted by Anwar Smith on June 12, 2013 at 6:23 pm

  This is really frustrating. I am trying to start a new project, but my motions is stuck on the last project and wont let me close them and start a new one. I even uninstalled the program and reopened it and its still stuck on the same project. What can I do to fix this please?

  This is how to reset FCP:

  But I have no idea if that affects Motion in any way or not. Maybe there are similar files in your Library that are motion specific. I am not sitting in front of FCP at the moment so I can’t test it.

  I’ll assume you are using Motion 5. First check under Preferences>Project>For New Documents and see if that’s your problem. If you launch the program and it loads a project, try hitting command-W and then command-N, which should close the current project and start a new one.

  If you are having issues with Motion (or any other FCP related program) I’d recommend trashing your preferences using the excellent and free Preference Manager available here: https://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/download.html
