Aaaargh, Motion quits constantly “Ozone Plug in”

[J. Tad newberry]

It’s a no-go here…swapped the cards, neither Motion 2 nor Motion 3 would work with this card (X800 XT). Maybe it’s Leopard? I never had this problem before…or maybe some incremental upgrade in the past few days?

Thanks again!

I have Motion 2, FCP 5.1.4 on my Powerbook G4 1.5ghz, Mac 10.4.10 and got a new MBP 15″ 2.6ghz machine Mac OS 10.5.4, which transferred smoothly. The only problems were Compressor 2.1 and Motion 2, which I was getting the ozone plugin error.

For Motion 2, I downloaded Pro Applications 2007-01 package and did the following:

1) Manually download the ProApps updates.
2) Right-click to open the contents of ProApplications update.
3) Open the “Contents” folder and find the “Packages” folder.
4) Try installing each of the 6 packages. Not all of the packages can be installed:

AppleHDVCodec.pkg: not allowed
AppleProRes422.pkg: allowed
Helium.pkg: allowed
IMXCodec.pkg: not allowed
PluginManager.pkg: allowed
ProAppsEffects.pkg: allowed

If you are running Motion 3, you may only need the Pro Applications 2007-02 package.

It solved my problem in a snap. Hope this helps.

Hello Arghhh – totally feel your pain,
I upgraded to 10.5, purchased studio 2 and cs3, did a clean install of everything, and had all the same ozone issues as described here. PPL said “add ram” so did that. Others said “faster card” so did that. “More hard drive” did that, “OK now reinstall everything” did that. So 1500 $ and six months later- Im still having these same ozone probs. Took it to apple, they said they fixed it, got it home and it was crashing as usual – and yes, they have read the manual.
Took it to apple Biltmore in Phx, and a true apple genius DID fix it.
So, walking through an apple store and seeing a sign that said “upgrade to the latest OS for flawless performance blablabla, turned out to be a fifteen hundred dollar, six month nightmare….

so, what did the “True Apple Genius” do to fix it?

thanks for helping out a bonehead!
