problems with Motion in FCS3

[David Roth weiss]

Did you do a clean install or did you merely put your disks in the optical drive and install over the top of FCS2?

One of each actually. My Quad w/ LHe was a clean install and the 8 core was an overwrite. boths systems experience the same problems with Motion.

Did you create a clone of either system? If so, you can boot to that and make your changes in the old environment and then export a QT and use that in the new environment.

No I didn’t make a clone. My assistant assistant is making the mods to the text as needed and re-rendering. It’s just an odd glitch that I wondered if anyone else experienced. But it’s probably just the ghosts in my machines. Not life, or job, threatening.

Thanks David.

[Greg Nosaty] “When it opened all of the graphics and text like lower thirds were corrupted. The Motion clips in the timeline had linked to different fonts and the geometry had changed.

Is this a bug with the new version? Has anyone else experienced compatibility problems with Motion?
“

No to all of the above.
We have had zero trouble opening any of our dozens of Motion templates, some go back to Motion 1, and this is after FCS3 and Leopard (not Snow Leopard).

I would immediately assume Kona is at fault but we have never used Kona products.

Editorially:
Making a backup clone of your system before doing an upgrade is simply plain good practice but I am not a supporter of the scorched earth upgrade policy for upgrades and major updates. I just overwrite the new FCP each time a new one comes out. I do the same with each new MacOS. I’ve been doing Mac updates and upgrades for more than 15 years.

And I saw a guy on TV fall out of plane without a parachute who lived to tell about it. So, I guess that means nobody needs a chute???
