Still a Master Template problem

[Peter Wiggins]

Well, first of all FCP is now up to 6.0.4, so do all the updates.

Fix permissions, trash preferences

I have 4 suites here that all use Motion templates in FCP on Leopard and they all work fine

Thanks Peter.

I am running FCP 6.0.4. Everything is up to date as I stated.

I repaired permissions and trashed the preferences. Still the same problems.

But thanks for the advice. If you have any further thoughts please let me know.

I got it fixed…
This worked for me- below:

I trashed the Motion application (even though it was updated to 3.0.2).
I reinstalled just the Final Cut Studio files using the Final Cut Studio install disks (didn’t install any of the extra stuff)
went to Software update, which offered to update both the Pro Applications Update AND Motion 3.0.2. This time, I ONLY had it install the Pro Applications Update, NOT Motion.
After it installed, I opened FCP 6.0.3, still got the black screen with the Master Templates.
I went back to Software Update and THEN installed the Motion 3.0.2 update.
rebooted and opened FCP, and the Templates were finally working again.

I’m still have issues with this. I went through all the steps, reinstalled, installed updates. No luck. Just black when I load the master templates. Anyone have any additional ideas?

I am completely new to everything video & editing and I ran into the same issue as well. After trying everything that was suggested before, with all the updates, install/uninstall etc., I simply went to user preferences in FCP, under the “render control” tab, down below under the “master templates & motion projects” section, I simply changed the quality from “normal” to “best”. Seems simple, and I am the last person to make suggestions, but this is what worked for me when all the other attempts did not. I hope this helps someone.

MacosX 10.5.6 with final cut pro 6.05 and motion 3.02 Master Templates appears in black in Final Cut Pro.

To solve the problem that works for me:

1: I trashed motion.app from my hard disk.

2: I installed again Final Cut Studio, only with the “Final Cut Studio Install” disk, (deselecting the contents).

3: I updated to Final Cut Pro 6.05 with the package “Pro Applications Update 2008-05.dmg” downloaded from https://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/

4: I updated to Motion 3.02 with the package “Motion302Update.dmg” downloaded from the same page

It only takes 30 min. and works

Thank you Todd!!!!
