Getting good at reinstalling Motion...

I'm desperate for advice. I'm using FCS 2 and in the process of working on a project I keep having to reinstall Compressor and Motion in order to continue working. Below is the scenario:
When opening my Motion project everything works fine until I click on the canvas window. As soon as I do that Motion gives me the BBOD and then after a couple of seconds crashes. No matter what I do (restart, repair permissions, et.) will get it to do anything differently. I can work within the layers pallet or within the timeline and everything works fine until I click in the canvas. Repeat, ad nauseam...
The only way I can get the show going again is to uninstall Compressor and Motion and start again. It works for the first session and maybe the next but then the whole process starts again. Uninstall then reinstall...
Is anyone else having the same or similar problems?

When you crash, you get the option of Reporting to Apple? Take that and copy this section of the log:

That's the kinda thing we need...But only the crashed thread (Thread XX Crashed), not the entire log - like the example above. Do not post the entire log. Also, you can check the console log (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app) for any messages...

  • How to get Goods Receipt Quantity?

    Hi,
    I have Production Order data in AUFK and AFPO(AUFNR, AUART and
    MATNR etc.)  I want to get "Good Receipt(GR) quantity for the movement
    type '101'/'102' ",  "Material Cost with Movement type '261/262" and "Standard
    Price" for that material. In MSEG, I have the fields for AUFNR and Movement
    Type(BWART). But I am not confident  about the fields for GR Quatity and Material
    Cost.
    Could you please give me the logic to get these fields?
    Thanks,
    Sreenivas Reddy Maddi

    I think checking aufnr and bwart of MSEG is enough. If you want to be more sure then you can also check for the reservation number RSNUM and RSPOS. you can find the reservation no and item no from table RESB using production order number aufnr.
    Thanks.

  • I had to install a new hard drive. How do I get Lion to reinstall w/o paying $29.95 again?

    I had to install a new hard drive. How do I get Lion to reinstall w/o paying $29.95 again?

    Boot into Internet Recovery
    If your Mac problem is a little less common — your hard drive has failed or you’ve installed a hard drive without OS X, for example — Internet Recovery takes over automatically. It downloads and starts Lion Recovery directly from Apple servers over a broadband Internet connection. And your Mac has access to the same Lion Recovery features online. Internet Recovery is built into every newly-released Mac starting with the Mac mini and MacBook Air.

  • How can i get mountain lion reinstalled if my mac says apple id never purchased? hd failed 2 wks after wty expired, I am the original owner, i have done command-r

    how can i get mountain lion reinstalled if my mac says apple id never purchased? hd failed 2 wks after wty expired, I am the original owner, put another hd in, done command-r & sys reinstalled, but it wanted to update & now am stuck. I don't mind paying for mountain lion; it is too far to get to an apple store. but, i only have one mac, so i cannot download with another mac. lots of other apple, but only one mac.

    You will need to do a network recovery:
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Difficult to get good package names with ojspc in automated build

    If I understand the documentation for "ojspc" correctly, there is an aspect of its functionality that makes it difficult to have a convenient automated build which can also get good package names for the generated Java source files.
    If you don't specify the "-packageName" option, ojspc will build a package name relative to the current directory, including sub-directories. However, specifying "-packageName" will ONLY use that package, and will not create sub-packages associated with sub-directories.
    If you don't use the "-packageName" option, then you have to run the build from the root directory of your JSP files. When you're running an automated build with ANT, it's not convenient to do this.
    The likely result of this is that I would have to make sure that all of my JSP files are named differently, even if they're in different directories, and use the "-packageName" option to specify a particular package name for all of the generated source files.

    After more careful reading, I realized that using the "-appRoot" option (without using "-packageName") makes it possible for an ANT build to generate good package names (with directories).
    The following note, however, in the ojspc documentation is kind of odd:
    "It is advisable that you run ojspc once for each directory of your JSP application, so files in different directories can be given different package names, as appropriate."
    I assume this is referring to using the "-packageName" option. If you don't need to use "-packageName", especially if you have multiple directories of JSP pages, it is much easier to just let ojspc pick the package names.

    After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

    reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

  • Getting good performance from Amazon AWS EBS disks

    Hi, I am new here, so please let me know if I should be posting somewhere else.
    We are using the Amazon cloud and striped EBS disks for Oracle DB 11g. We have done many tests trying to get good performance from the disks but it is still lacking. I am looking for some Oracle best practices for how to best set up the disks in Amazon. Or if any of you have suggestions of good parameters.
    Thanks,
    -tom

    Oracle talked much about cloud and they did very little, Oracle cloud computing is amateur for performance testing.
    Oracle deployed one EBS AMI (Oracle Enterprise Database) to APAC (Asia Pacific region), later on they withdrew that AMI, any one used that AMI to build an infrastructure they couldn't re launch that AMI.
    By now Oracle has no one single EBS AMI in Asia Pacific region!
    As you can see from this forum, it's not monitored by Oracle cloud people, many times we tried to contact them for urgent AMI we needed they simply don't reply back.
    You could find much documents, presentations and nice animations talking about Oracle cloud but oracle has nothing to do on Amazon cloud so far, so try to find alternatives.
    Thanks,
    Fadi.

  • I've had it with Motion 5.  What's the best way to reinstall Motion 4?

    Not exactly sure why I paid £30 for Motion 5 when it's basically a downgrade from 4.  It crashes all the time especially when I open the font list and also when I go to export a movie.  Doesn't remember the right fonts for saved projects!  Won't let you create your own custom layout.  Vector images keep being cropped in a project I'm doing at the moment even though I've unchecked the fixed resolution box and they are all in 3D layers?
    So, what is the best way of reinstalling Motion 4?
    Thanks

    You should never have uninstalled Motion 4.  They'll both live on the same system.  In fact, Motion 5's install puts all of your Final Cut Studio apps into a folder called "Final Cut Studio", it doesn't delete or overwrite it.
    If you're having those problems, there's issues with your system, not Motion.  Run Disk Utility and Repair all disks.  May need to run Disk Warrior and rebuild the directories of all of your disks.
    Verify your graphics card supports Motion 5, you have plenty of RAM, and your drives are fast enough.
