Motion 4.0.3 crashes when opening or starting new project

Hello,

This problem has been bugging me for weeks, and I haven't been able to fix it. Whenever I open or start a new Motion project, the program will crash to desktop. I reformatted my hard drive and installed a clean copy of Final Cut Studio, but I still can't open Motion.

Here is the crash report:

Couple of trouble shooting things to try... check your fonts using FontBook - validate them and remove any problematic ones.

Try trashing your prefs:

1) Quit Motion.
2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it.

Neither of these is specifically indicated by your crash log, but both are potential causes that are untouched by a re-install...

Not sure if your problem was solved, but here's my situation and very strange but reliable solution:


Setup: My FCP worked no problem, only Motion (4.03) crashed. I followed the various support threads except for reinstalling but nothing worked.


Behavior: Motion crashes on UI draw. Opening up to the welcome screen worked fine, and triggering various windows (prefs, fonts, etc.) worked OK. However, at the point of drawing the UI, the program crashed every time.


Solution: open motion to welcome screen, open prefs, reset "content library & templates" option, keep window open, and then create new project from welcome screen. Works!


This works every time, and the program will still crash if I don't do this. How's that for strange! Hopefully this helps pinpoint the issue for apple.


Cheers.
