  • FCP won’t recognize Motion?

    Posted by Ignacio Holiday on April 29, 2013 at 4:18 am

    When I try to right click on a title in FCP and modify it in Motion it keeps telling me that I must have Motion 5 installed, but it is installed. I tried re-installing it and nothing changed. Why won’t it recognize motion?

    Do you also have fcs3 installed?

    If you have FCS3 also installed, trash all prefs for both sets of apps. Launch the old Motion first to re-establish paths to the old FCP7. Then launch FCP7. If these two open fine, then you should be OK again with FCP X and Motion 5.

    I don’t know what FCS3 is, so I don’t think I have it…

    Is Motion installed in the Applications folder or have you moved the application to another folder?

    Classic! Has anyone noticed all the FCP X posts over at the FCP forum? They need to rename it FCP versions 1-7 forum or something.

    Try trashing prefs for both FCPX and Motion 5. Have you launched Motion 5 yet?

    I did launch it, but I’m not sure how to trash the prefs…
