I have Motion 2, FCP 5.1.4 on my Powerbook G4 1.5ghz, Mac 10.4.10 and got a new MBP 15″ 2.6ghz machine Mac OS 10.5.4, which transferred smoothly. The only problems were Compressor 2.1 and Motion 2, which I was getting the ozone plugin error.

For Motion 2, I downloaded Pro Applications 2007-01 package and did the following:

1) Manually download the ProApps updates.
2) Right-click to open the contents of ProApplications update.
3) Open the “Contents” folder and find the “Packages” folder.
4) Try installing each of the 6 packages. Not all of the packages can be installed:

AppleHDVCodec.pkg: not allowed
AppleProRes422.pkg: allowed
Helium.pkg: allowed
IMXCodec.pkg: not allowed
PluginManager.pkg: allowed
ProAppsEffects.pkg: allowed

If you are running Motion 3, you may only need the Pro Applications 2007-02 package.

It solved my problem in a snap. Hope this helps.

Yes, FCS 1 is compatible to Leopard, including Compressor!

Found the solution to your problem without going FCS 2: upgrade Qmaster 2 to 2.3 then upgrade Compressor 2.0/2.1 to 2.3, then 2.3.1.

I have FCP 5.1.4 on my Powerbook G4 15″ 1.5ghz, Mac OS 10.4.10 and finally got the newer Macbook Pro 2.6ghz (well, kinda new… its the last model before the awful unibodies). Was able to transfer everything over to the MBP, until I had the Compressor problem and the Motion problem (I found the solution to that too). Not gonna take credit, as I researched this the last 3 days online, from the Apple forums to people’s blogs to even Creative Cow. (Yes, I didn’t want to upgrade to FCS 2 either – hey, if its not broken, why fix it?)

Hope this helps.
