Motion crashing even though i’ve turned off video on desktop Black Magic!

[Jim Kanter]

Try trashing your preferences and starting Motion again.

I usually just rename mine by adding “old” to the start of the filename. That way if the problem is NOT the prefs file, I can easily restore my settings by changing the name back.

Thanks, but it still did not help… Then it just prompt the project settings and still dosen’t open a new project.
I can open Motion as allways, but can’t enter Preferences, new project or old project.
Do you have any other ideas!?

Lars.

Hey Lars,

Trying opening the Console (found in /Applications/Utilities) and post what it says when Motion crashes. Also, post the crashed thread from the crash reporter (appears when Motion dies).

This information should give you a hint as to what’s wrong on your system.

Well, this is what i’ve got from the Console and Crash test:

Thanks Again!!!

Yes, the answer is crystal clear now.

Seriously, no one on these forums understands this stuff any more than you do, Lars. It’s deep geek, code-speak for Unix code.
Sending the report to Apple seems like a waste of time, we know. But Specialcase asked you to post it so let’s see what he’s got to say.

Hey Lars,

From what little I understand, one of the crashes in your log shows that it died when you were mousing into the toolbar. When, exactly, is Motion crashing? Precislely: what are you doing at the moment of crash? Just mousing into the toolbar shouldn’t cause a crash (of course), and the crash logs don’t look like the ones people have posted for bad installs/frameworks, so I’m at something of a loss.

[Lars Ege]

Hi..
It crashes when I try to open a new or old project and I can’t touch any of the controls in the File Browser, then it crashes to.
Help!
🙁

Lars.
