Motion will no longer export the current frame. Jpeg, png, tif. None of them work.
Screen reads...
Share Failed
The operation could not be completed because an error occurred while sharing (Timed out, server application never registered to receive message).
Any suggestions to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance for your time,

What version of Motion?
Hold the Option and Command keys down at the same time, while launching Motion. When prompted, select to delete preference files. See if that helps.
BenB,
Latest and greatest version of Motion. Deleted Pref's. before the post. Uninstalled. Re-installed.
Exporting movie works fine. "Save Current Frame" is the issue. Jpeg, png, tiff, dpx, etc... None of them work.
Could this be an issue outside of the Motion software?
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Darryl
That is odd, I'm unable to reproduce it. You've done about everything there is to fix it. What 3rd party plugins do you have installed?
Hey Guys,
I have a similar issue. I get the exact same error when saving Motion templates I create for FCPX (Generators and Transitions). Oddly, the templates save/export fine for use in FCPX. Like HarrisEdit, I have the latest version of Motion, and I also tried deleting prefs with no success. I haven't tried to uninstall yet. I keep my editing system pretty clean, but I do have a few plugins. I'm not using any plugins for my templates, but it still might be a good area of focus.
Here's the error and a little more system info:
Share Failed: The operation could not be completed because an error occurred while sharing (Timed out, server application never registered to receive message).
Mac Pro Late 2013
OSX 10.10.5
Motion 5.2.2
Plugins: Coremelt "xTools", FxFactory Pro, Digital Anarchy BB, Hitfilm Suite, Red Giant stuff, Neat Video.
Again, my templates export to FCPX fine, so it's not a big deal for me, but still a nuisance.
I hope this info' helps
Hello,
I saw your post and read that we have "FXFactory" in common. I have uninstalled the plug in and Motion now exports via "Save Current Frame". I was not using the plug ins either. I could not export anything as a single still image.
If it works for you after uninstalling, but you need FXFactory for other projects, I believe they have a way for you to download earlier versions on their "Downloads" page. Perhaps they are not "buggy" as the latest version seems to have been for our systems.
Thank you for your time. Hope this helps you as well.
Have a great day,
D.Harris
Hey, nice work! I'm glad the information was useful. Over the years I've found plugins to be both a blessing and a curse. I'm not using FxFactory for any current projects at the moment, so a quick uninstall works for me. I'll watch for an update, and see if that resolves it in the future.
Thanks, and I'm glad we were able to get it resolved.
You have a great day as well,
SMM
Hi,
This appears to be a bug with an older version of FxFactory. If you are experiencing this problem please download/install the latest version of FxFactory:
I had the same error message when trying to Share Current Frame.
I uninstalled FXFactory and it's still giving me the error. Is there another step besides running the FXFactory uninstaller?
Thanks!
Motion 5 share failure upon export of the current frame?
