Q: motion 4 does not respond

I created some animated titels in motion 4. Now I have to finish the project, but whenever I click in  the motion window I get no response but a ping sound as if I have to clear something else before I can continue. I cannot acces timing or textelement - ie. I can not make any changes .....?

thanks for any advice/ideas about that.

    Just guessing but sounds like there is a change pending that you have to commit to or a dialog box open waiting input. If you move the windows for Motion aside (physically move them to the side, don't hide the application as hiding will hide any pending dialog box as well), do you see a dialog box beneath them?

    Hi Meg,

     

    thanks a lot  for answering. It does sound indeed like the sound that comes up when you have to close an open dialog box. I did remove all the windows

    to a second screen - but no unanswered dialog box. I have read some time ago that sometimes the RAM of the graphics card gets "clogged up" when you do a lot with motion. I did do a few project but nothing really big. I do have the same Motion 4 on my laptop and I will try to copy the project onto the laptop.

     

    thanks again  Peter
