I spoke too soon when I said I could open a new project once Motion is open by double-clicking on an existing project. Even though Motion is open (from double-clicking on an existing project), it crashes when trying to create a New project. That seems to indicate that it’s the dialog allowing you to choose what kind of project that makes Motion…

Update. I cannot get Apple Motion to launch, but on double-clicking a Motion project, Motion opens immediately. From there, I can open other projects and also start a new project. But, from the Desktop, Motion crashes on launch.

I have the most recent iMac Pro. After updating to the latest Big Sur and downloading the latest Motion, I’m unable to launch Motion. I’ve deleted its preferences but no joy. I’ve also resolved the alert that some of my plugins were out of date.

I’ve narrowed it down to corrupted Projects. Not the media inside the projects, but the Projects themselves. After completing one, I make a snapshot of it to make the next version with much of the elements filled in. I can create a fresh Project and copy an edit from a corrupt project into the new Project, and, on Export, I don’t get the ‘Live…

When I export (to a Master File in this case), the export dialog normally picks up the title of the project. But it picks up ‘Live Free Yoga 480’ instead. Every time. Although ‘Live Free Yoga 480’ is something I would type somewhere in a project about Yoga, the title of the project is completely different. In the graphic below, I didn’t bother to…

More accurately, the alert after every CMD-S after the title was named is ‘Share successful. Sharing untitled was successful.’ It takes close to a minute after CMD-S for the alert to appear. I just started a new project and this is not happening. My problematic project is one where I follow a tutorial and has no third-party plug-ins. It’s just a…

There should be no problem. Latest Mac OS Catalina on a new iMac Pro. But the latest Motion, v5.4.6, has all sorts of strangeness. Yes, I deleted the preferences. But for example, on save, it always gives the alert that it saved ‘Untitled’, but, behind the scenes, it does save the project. The project, when named, will confirm that it saved…
