Motion Project Compatibility

Hello guys,

I'm working in a company that have both Intel's Mac Pro 6,1 and MacMini M1 and Mac Studio M2.

Mac Pro's run Mac Os X Monterey 12.6.6 Mac Mini and Mac Studio are running Mac Os X Ventura 13.6

We use Apple's Motion and Compressor.

On intel's platform Motion v 5.6.4

On Silicon platform Motion v 5.6.6

Unfortunately Ventura does not support Mac Pro 6,1 so I'm unable to upgrade the OS.

We have problems opening Motion projects made with 5.6.6 on 5.6.4 is there a way to fix the issue?

Best regards

Earlier Mac models

Motion projects can be “backdated”, so long as you don’t use any features that are not supported in the older version. I have done this for use in FCP versions that are older than the Motion version where the Motion templates were created, and I think that it should work from newer to older versions of Motion itself.

It just requires editing two numbers in a text file, but there is an online tool made available by fox_m, our Motion expert and guide. Look for Motion backdater online and you will find it.
