Motion App filters not functioning.

When I try to apply a filter to a project or group, it doesn't go in. Doesn't show up in the layers or timeline windows. Also, the space bar isn't working. To start the project I have to click the arrow.

Also my Mac is from 2015 & I don't have an onscreen keyboard. Space bar doesn't work in the Pro Apps only (including Photoshop). As I mentioned earlier it works fine for Mail, Text Edit, and obviously this page.


All mac users have the onscreen keyboard that I am talking about.


Go to System Settings->Keyboard, then under Input Sources click Edit... and activate "Show input menu in menu bar".



Now you always have that Keyboard Viewer available:



My guess is that if you click the space bar in that Keyboard Viewer, when FCP or Motion are active, then it also would not work, thus confirming it is a software issue rather than an issue with the physical keyboard.

First, I tried deleting preferences with FCP. As a result I lost all of my libraries. How do I recover them? I gather that you didn't expect this to happen. Do you know how I can recover my FCP libraries?
