Activity Forums Apple Motion Suddenly no audio is active

  • Suddenly no audio is active

    Have a project with a single track of audio. I did something such that I can’t activate that audio track or master audio:

    Notice the checkboxes next to the audio track and Master are unchecked. It won’t allow me to check them off. Anyone have a clue what I might have done?

    Try trashing your prefs:

    1) Quit Motion.
    2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
    3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it.

    I gave this a try and still no deals… I tried creating a new project and dragging audio into it and it behaves fine.

    I even tried cutting and pasting my animation tracks from the original project to a new blank (but audio-friendly) project file, but it seems to not let you cut and paste items from between two open projects.

    Any further ideas?

    OK strange… I set the sole audio track to ‘Solo’ and then it became active an audible. When I un-solo’ed it, audio still remained active.

    I don’t really know why, but I’m all set…
