Activity Forums Apple Motion Motion is not remembering any of my recent projects

  • Motion is not remembering any of my recent projects

    Posted by Aj Robinson on November 18, 2011 at 5:01 am

    Every time I open up Motion 5, I hasn’t remembered any of my recent projects at all.
    It’s getting a little annoying to have to find the project from wherever it is on the computer.

    Any help gladly welcomed,

    AJ

    Recent projects are saved in the preference file. I’d try deleting the preferences and go from there.

    I’m sorry,
    But what do you mean by deleting the preferences?

    Thanks for you time.

    In your Home directory on your computer, go to the following folder:

    Library/Preferences

    Look for:

    com.apple.motionapp.plist
    com.apple.motionapp.LSSharedFileList.plist

    These are the preference files for Motion. You probably only need to delete the top one but I don’t think it hurts to delete both.

    Your copy of Motion will revert to it’s initial state. Hopefully then it’ll start remembering your recent projects.

    Thanks for the help, but nothing is still working right. Maybe I’ll just have to reinstall.
