  • Motion 5 export error -1

    Posted by Bryan Cantwell on January 16, 2014 at 1:08 pm

    Help! I’m having a major problem with Motion 5… Due to a comedy of errors too long to dwell on, I’ve got a Motion 5 sequence that needs exported. But it just won’t go. Project is all XDCAM HD 1080i60 video, and it’s not using any templates – all transitions & effects were built in the program by the original creator.

    No matter the settings, no matter the format, exporting always fails. The error code it gives me is -1, and it fails at a different frame every time. I’ve tried restarting, clearing RAM preview, and everything else I could think of.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    An update of sorts.

    After running every single Apple recommended trouble shooting fix, I’m still in the same boat, but there was a small bright spot.

    Originally, I was working over a network, from a Synology NAS. I moved the project & media to my local drive, cleared as much unnecessary data from the computer as possible, restarted, and got one clean export of the project. One.

    For the greater good, I attempted more exports after the successful one, but all subsequent efforts failed.

    It’s looking like it may be a memory issue. Will update on further research/attempts.
