trashing preferences
Motion and Final Cut are both acting screwy:
• In Motion, the canvas starts scooting off the screen toward the right upon creating a new project, as if it were propelled by something.
• Final Cut, not to be outdone, decides it wants to go haywire whenever the mouse cursor is moved over the canvas: go right, it scrubs the play head that direction, left it rewinds. The start/stop button in canvas pane appears inoperable, but moving mouse cursor to timeline and the spacebar and jkl keys still function.
What gives?
This all started upon downloading that recent update for the Pro Aps, as well as 10.5.6 combo update. I've already booted up from Leopard disc and run disk utility fixes. It temporarily solved the issue for Motion, but the canvas slide began anew after I created a project, put a particle emitter in a layer, tried to scrub to where it began emitting to mark a point, got spinning beach ball and then Motion going through those spasms I described, dragging Final Cut along for the ride.
So maybe it's trash prefs time. So the question is: Canning the prefs is as simple as going into user account library folder > prefs > motionplist and finalcutplist and hauling them to the trash, emptying trash and restarting the computer and relaunching? Is it that simple?
