Motion no longer works :-(
I just upgraded to Tiger, but I have not yet upgraded my Motion. It does have all the latest revisions from Software Update.
When I try to pull up Motion, the top bounces a few times and then stops.
The log says something about bad access to memory, 000×1.
Any idea what I can do to fix this?
Many thanks.

Did you re-install Motion? When upgrading an OS, you generally want to un-install, re-install all professional apps like Motion, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, etc….
In fact, the best way to upgrade an OS is to wipe the harddrive completely clean and start all over. That’s what I’m currently doing with our second G5. I erased the harddrive, installed Tiger and am slowly installling and updating all software as I go. So far, so good with the new Final Cut Pro Studio, which includes Motion 2. If all goes well on that system, we’ll upgrade the primary G5 next.

Unfortunately, I’ve moved since I got Motion, and I mislaid the original CDs in the move. (I’m an absent-minded professor type and lamentably good at this sort of thing).
And yes, I did buy Motion and did not resell it or anything like that.
Are there any other ways to deal with this kind of problem?
Many thanks.

Go to a local Best Buy or Circuit City and pick up a CD Album to keep all your discs in. I have two albums full of all my software so I don’t lose individual discs.
Unfortunately, you’ll need that disc to re-install and that’s really the only thing I can think of. All Apple pro-apps just run better when re-installed after a major OS update. Just upgrade to Motion 2 so you’ll have an install disc.
