Motion two crashes - macbook pro

If you're running an Intel Mac, you need to run 5.1 of Final Cut Studio - this includes Motion 2.1. For more info:

but hurry - it's only good thru this month.

Hey Sam

aaaahhhh!!!!! This is a topic, as a recent neophyte to the apple universe, I've had some painful lessons in. Patrick is right...the big question is "do you have an INTEL BASED MAC ?" If so BEWARE!!! of all software you buy for it. MAKE SURE IT SAYS "UNIVERSAL" with what looks, kinda, like a yin yang symbol. You see, not all programs that run on the older G4 or G5 macs will run properly on an intel based machine. 😟 The only ones you can really trust to actually run on an intel mac are "UNIVERSAL BINARY" programs. You can look at my posting "Motion 1 (not on intel machine) so what now... "if you want to feel my pain. 🙂

I just installed FCP 5.1. Will only Motion 2.1 work on
the new intel chip and not Motion 2.0? Motion 2.0 keeps
crashing.

Intel processor Macs require the Universal Binary Version of Motion which is rev 2.1

Another problem: I worked on a Motion project on my Macbook Pro version 2.1.2 and it will not read on my G5 version 2.01...trying to find out how to resolve this...any ideas?

Load your .motn file into a text editor (TextEdit should work fine). Change the version number from 2.1 to 2.0 and you should be fine...
