Motion 3, 4 and 5 hangs on UI draw

Hi

I updated the OS to 10.7.3 recently and noticed that none of the Motion versions would run, altough Final Cut Pro 7 runs great.

Repairing permissions didn't help.

Reinstalling Motion 4 didn't help.

Deleting preferences (4 files from ~/Library/Preferences starting with com.apple.motion and com.apple.motionapp) didn't help either.

I don't see any conflicting fonts neither.

On other (arleady existing) user accont Motion works after giving the user admin privileges.

The app won't crash like normal apps crash, it would just remain unresponsible.

(in Motion 4) I can open the app once for one OS reboot, it would show the welcome screen, I could enter preferences and mess around, but it becomes unresponsible as soon as I make a new file or open one.

It would be really helpful for me if it was possible to get Motion running on my own user account, what can be possible reasons for such behaviour? Possible fixes?

Im running Mac Pro 1.1 with ATI 4870 (PC flashed) and Nvidia 7300 (Apple), two displays, one per card.

Thanks in advance

You have Motion 5 installed as well as the legacy versions in FCS?

If so, take a look atthis.

The products affected are from FCPX and I don't care for them working; I need Motion 3 or 4.

The 7300 from Nvidia doesnt support OpenCL but its been in the computer for a long long time and doesn't very much get unplugged while switching users, so its not the problem.

I was just going by the title of your question.

Good luck.
