    I’m trying to use Motion templates created in Motion for on new macbook. They have been copied to 2 x 2.66 6 core wit h16 gb memory running 10.7.1. Drop zones appear black. Any suggestions?

    Update to post. I’m running 10.7.1 and have the ATI Radeon HD 5770. I am having issues with Motion 4 templates created on Macbook running Motion 4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

    MacBook with a 5770? You mean a MacBook Pro? What issues specifically?

    Sorry we’re doing a 15 minute daily show with a crew of 6 in Canada. The motion files were created on a macbook pro and we’re finishing the show on a new 2x 2.66 GHz 6 Core Intel Xenon wit h16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 with the 5770 card. The templates created on the macbook show black where the drop zones are when opened in a FCP sequence or in Motion on the Mac Pro.
