I just got motion 5 today, and I worked on a project and when I tried to export movie in the share menu it did nothing. I was seeing if anyone out there could help me with my issue
Motion 5, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Hello there, averypamby.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to sharing/exporting your video in Motion:
Motion 5: Export a QuickTime movie
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH16623
Export your project as a movie file
Choose Share > Export Movie (or press Command-E).
Choose an export format from the Export pop-up menu.
This menu provides a list of codecs.
Choose an option from the “Open with” pop-up menu:
Do Nothing: The movie is not opened after the export is completed.
Open with QuickTime Player: The movie is opened in QuickTime Player.
Open with Compressor: The movie is opened in Compressor (if installed on your system).
Choose an option from the Include pop-up menu: Video and Audio, or Video Only.
If you’ve set In and Out points in the Timeline, use the Duration pop-up menu to choose whether to export the sequence or the portion between the In and Out points.
To specify additional Motion-specific options, click Render.
For more information about options available in the Render pane, see Render settings.
To see details about the file to be output, click Summary.
Click Next.
Enter a name and choose a location for the exported file, then click Save.
Motion renders and saves your movie.
Important: The Export Movie command does not use background rendering, so you must wait until rendering is finished before you can continue to work in Motion.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
when I hit export movie no popup menu comes up, it does the spinning beach ball for a second and then goes back to normal, in other words, doing nothing
Hello again, averypamby.

Averypamby, have you tried re-installing Motion to resolve the issue? Also, are you running software like MacKeeper? Several months ago people were having problems with running MacKeeper and Motion exports. If you are, I'd make sure MacKeeper is up-to-date and then re-install Motion.
I'm having this issue as well. I don't have MacKeeper or any similar software installed.
motion 5 does nothing when I click to export movie
