Motion 5.5

I believe that the current version of Motion 5 is 5.0.7, don't know why you get this message.

I am having the same issue. My issue instead was I went from an iMac to a Macbook Pro using a Time Machine back up. Same and latest Motion 5 on both. No available updates in the app store.

When I try to open up my files on the Macbook Pro I get that same message.

However, over at www.motionvfx.com in their FAQ section there is this:

[MOTION] When I try running one of your projects, Motion tells me that I need version 5.2 or 5.5. This version doesn't exist yet, what gives?

Apple uses two XML tags to describe a project's version - "ozml version" and "displayversion". Even though the latter one is always correct (5.0.2, 5.0.6, 5.0.7 etc), Motion reads the ozml version (5.2, 5.5) when checking the required build. Because of this it "thinks" that you need Motion 5.5 instead of 5.0.7 (for example). The solution is easy - simply update Motion to the latest build via App Store (the updates are free) and everything will be fine.

Anyone know of a fix to that response? There is no update by the way.

This sounds like you're not running Motion 5.0.7 when your're attempting to open the project.

Sorry to doubt, but sometimes it's the simplest things. Can you verify the version by going to "About Motion" in the File menu.

I'm having the same trouble with mlogo version 1,2,3, =/ *** any idea to solve it ?

Verify the verion you are launching is the latest version.

Launch Motion

In the "Motion" menu at the top of the screen, choose "About Motion"

It will show you the version number you are running.

That's your problem, you're running 5.0.

You need to either be on 5.1 which is the latest version but requires Mavericks, or on 5.0.7 which is the latest version if you're running on an OS before Mavericks.

so strange, i made the update on app store.. i'll try again !
