Canvas not showing in motion 5

Hi,
I have researched this issue on all the forums and Google but did not find a solution. My last resort is here and hopefully i get an answer. This is the first time i have encountered this problem with motion 5. I use motion 5 regulary on Mac OSX 10.8 on a Mac pro. I have a three monitor setup, two monitors are connected directly via DVI to HDMI to the mac, and one is connected via USB. I usually have the time pane and project pane on one monitor and Canvas on the other. Today without doing anything when i lauched motion 5, the canvas is not showing. This is very frustrating, the option "show canvas in second display" is also grayed out. After trying everything i knew ( quitting motion, restarting computer 5 times, trashing preference files, uninstall/reinstall motion, disconnecting monitors and using just one) i give up and came here. I am not sure what i am doing wrong, and this is the first time this is happening. I have the latest version installed and everything is up to date. Please help if anyone encountered this issue and fixed it. Thanks in advance for any help. I have a big project i need to finish.

This happen to me a few weeks ago and this is how I fixed it.
Try this... Make a new user account on your Mac. If the canvas shows in Motion using the new user account do this:
1) Go to the Finder Menu, Go...
2) Hold down the Option key...
3) Go... Library....
4) Application Support... Motion... Layouts... Modified... Delete Default.ModuleLayout and delete Motion.saved.moduleLayout files.
Restart Motion and see if that works for you.

  • Canvas not showing video

    Yesterday, I rendered this video I'm making, and after it rendered the canvas did not show any video, I already re-installed Final Cut Studio, and nothing happened, just the canvas doesn't show video, but the viewer and when I export has video, what do I do? 

    #15 White or Black Canvas or Viewer
    Shane's Stock Answer #15:  White or Black Canvas or Viewer
    Make sure the canvas or viewer are selected then go to VIEW>CHANNELS and set it to RGB.   It might be set to ALPHA.
    OR...
    Click on the drop down menu above the Viewer or Canvas and make sure that you are on IMAGE or IMAGE + WIREFRAME.

  • Bezier Handles not showing in motion editor

    I can get them to display for every property except for x and y which I find them the most necessary. I control+click to add a new keyframe while in the motion editor then alt click to convert it to a smooth keyframe. All of them let me adjust the bezier handles except for the x and y properties. It seems to automaticaly smooth but i would like more control.

  • Masked pre comp of clip not showing clip motion within the mask please help

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to create a phenakistoscope Phenakistoscope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia out of a motion picture of a dancer.
    I've transformed the clip of the dancer and precomposed it and then masked and animated the rotation of the pre comp in a new composition.  I then duplicated the now animated pre comp 20 times offsetting each one, a frame later than the last to create the wheel effect with trailing frames.
    The animation of the mask and offset is working fine, however the footage in the clip is not playing in the masked composition.
    please help, here is the project file. Dropbox - caropheankistope.aep

    NON WORKING COMP SAMPLE OUTPUT Dropbox - carolina base_sample.mov
    Thanks

    I'm replying to your question on my phone so I can't look at your project but I did look at your video.
    Here is what I would do to troubleshoot the project. First run a RAM preview of the pre-composed and masked wedge comp. If that plays back correctly then everything else should work unless you have applied some kind of time effect to the duplicated layers. If that doesn't work then show us a screenshot of that pre-comp with all of the properties of the movie layer revealed (Press that u key twice).
    If you have not sorted this out by the time I get back the office I will try and take a look at your project.

  • Canvas not showing up

    Hi,
    i just finished installing CS6 on my windows 8 laptop. I can open a picture file, and the thumbnail in the layers list shows that the file is read. However the canvas won't show. I tried zoomed in to fit to screen/fill screen still it's empty. All I see is the standard background of ps. Anyone know the fix of this bug?

    Refer to this:
    I can’t see my images and only get a black screen (or strange pattern).
    It's not a bug, you need to fix your system.

  • True type fonts not showing in Motion 2.1.2

    Although I don't want to, my client is insisting I use the VAG Round type face in the video I'm making for them. It's a true type font.
    Although it shows in the drop down font menu, the face displays as Helvetica. The font file is located in Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts/VAG Round.ttf
    For now, I'm going to create .ai files with the copy but would prefer to type directly into Motion.....
    Any suggestions?
    thanks
    Marco

    Make sure the folder names and file names contain no special characters such as accents. This is a bug.

  • Motion 4 - Canvas not properly displaying media

    I have a new mac pro tower and have recently installed FCP 3. Everything has been working fine until I started with Motion. It seems that no matter what type of media I import into Motion, the canvas displays a mostly black image with some sparse color pixels...even with the installed templates. If I double click the file, it displays fine in a separate window. If I send out to my client monitor, it looks fine. But my two displays show the same issue only in the canvas portion of the program. Is the new ATI card incompatible? Any thoughts?

    Oh - how about screen calibration software - Color Munki?
    That is for print and not compatible with Motion.

  • The canvas is not showing up at all.

    I'm using CS6 and have everything running as usual. I make a new file, normal size of my art and everything, but the canvas (background) does not show up. So I think.. "Huh, that's odd."
    I also have navigator open since I use full screen. So as I draw strokes, I see them appearing in the navigator, but I cannot see the canvas. All I see is the colour of grey. Although the canvas is certainly there, since I can make visible strokes, it seems as if it were transparent, except I hadn't done anything with the image to start. Are there any solutions to this?
    Thanks!

    I can’t see my images and only get a black screen (or strange pattern).

  • Motion 5 Template Publishing Not Showing Up in FCPX

    I did a clean install of Lion 10.7.1 and a clean install of FCPX and Motion 5.  For some reason, when I publish a template/generator/effect from Motion 5, it does not show up FCPX unless I restart FCPX.  When I first started using both Motion 5 and FCPX, as soon as I switched back to FCPX, the published template was there.
    I've repaired permissions, restarted the computer, etc.  Why won't this work any more? Any ideas?

    Mark Spencer answered this for me on another forum.  This is a known Lion bug.  Doesn't happen in Snow Leopard.  Just an inconvenience, but hope it's fixed soon.

  • Desktop Software 6.0 (PC) does not show OS 6 system software and core applications

    I have installed DM 600_b047 on my PC (running WinXP w/ SP3). I have also installed both OS 6.0.0_rel862 and 5.0.0_rel1385 on the same PC. When I connect my Bold 9000 to the PC, DM shows everything that is installed on the device. However, when disconnect the Bold and I connect my Torch 9800, DM shows only the third-party apps installed on the device. DM does not show the System Software, Core Applications, Phone, etc. that are installed on the Torch.
    On another PC (also WinXP w/ SP3), I have installed the same DM and OS software. DM on the latter PC shows all System Software, Core Apps, 3rd-party apps, etc. of both the Bold and Torch.
    I would appreciate any suggestions how to get my other PC to show all BB software installed on the Torch. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the DM and OS software on the one PC. It did not resolve my issue.
    Thank you.

    Here's how I resolved my issue:
    1. On the DM's Applications page, click the "Import files" button.
    2. Drill down to the folder containing the .alx files of the BB OS. In my case, that would be "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9800M_v6.0.0.284_P6.4.0.120"
    3. Select the alx files shown.in the files window..
    4. Click the "Open" button of the dialog box.
    5. Wait for DM to finish processing the selected files.
    Voila! Now I see all the apps.
    Maybe RIM's software and/or system engineers can explain how the DM software got into the condition where it apparently had not selected the .alx files.

  • Non-button text not showing up in menu

    Is it normal for text in a Blu-ray menu that is not a button to not show up in the menu once it is on a disc or disc image? This is the last issue I am having.
    I have some text on a menu that is just text. I have had plain text in the past work perfectly, but this time around Encore isn't rendering it. In the past though, my motion menu footage was in compliant m4v format, and this time it's mp4 so that Encore would transcode it. Using m4v was causing red frames to show up in the footage.
    Is there a way for me to fix this easily, either in Encore of Photoshop?

    I feel really slow...
    The only background in a multipage menu is the background in page 0.
    When you add anything to the page 1 or 2 groups, it can only be a button.
    So yes, the workaround to getting text that only shows on a single page is to put it in a button.
    You told us everything we needed in the original post, except, of course, that it was a multipage - but the symptom made that an easy guess. Sorry a little slow on getting there!

  • Exporting pdf does NOT show my headers and footers

    I export number files to my administrators. I've noticed when I print my file directly from my computer in iWork/Numbers it prints and show the footer and header. However, when I send a bcc to myself when I attach the pdf file to my administrator, it does not show or print my headers and footers. Any ideas?

    Re-reading the original question, it does appear that Gogoette is exporting to PDF then attaching the file to an email versus using the "Send via email as PDf" operation. In that case, setting it to Page View for the export will solve the problem. I had originally thought "Send via email as PDF" was being used. What I noticed is that it doesn't give you the choice of page versus sheet view but if you first go through the motions of exporting, it sets it up. In prior threads about exporting to PDF, we have all recommended using Print, not export, and choosing Print to PDF (rather than to a printer) as the best way to create a PDF. It gives more flexibility, such as allowing you to choose which pages to "print to PDF".

  • Af:statusIndicator does not show busy icon when a command button is click

    Hi Guys,
    af:statusIndicator does not show busy icon or motion when a command button is click
    I am working on an excel data upload functionality on .jspx page. I use “af:inputFile” file uploader to upload an excel file then process the data and store it as a list of objects in memory and display it in “af:table” table
    I added “af:statusIndicator” to the page to show the user that the page is progressing while the data is uploading and when it is saving the data to the database.
    In this case, when the “af:inputFile” is clicked to upload the excel file - the status indicator shows a progress icon (movement) which is expected and is good. However, after the data have been display in the table when I click on a command button that saves the data to the database – I expected the status indicator to start its busy motion but that is not happening. Whereas, the command button grayed out and is disable when I clicked the button until the operation is completed.
    Is there any way to start the statusIndicator when a command button is clicked?
    I tried the following options
    *<af:statusIndicator id="si1_uploadStatus" partialTriggers="pc1:cb1 pc1:table"/>*
    Where pc1:cb1 is the command button and pc1:table is the table
    *<af:commandButton text="Submit Uploads" id="cb1"*
    *disabled="#{!viewScope.batchUploadController.allSavable}"*
    *partialTriggers="::infFilePath"*
    *action="#{viewScope.batchUploadController.saveUploadedData}"*
    *blocking="true"/>*
    Thanks,

    Can somebody please address this?
    Thanks,
