Motion Crashes with all exports

Question

Greetings...
I need some serious help! I'm very frustrated because every time I try to export an animation, Motion crashes with no explanation.
My animation is simple: 30sec, standard 4:3; exporting as uncompressed 8bit with alpha channel. All other settings set to best with motion blur on.
Please help if anyone knows a simple patch.
Cheers!

Hi after several headaches, reinstalls of FCP, etc, i realized that Motion was crashing (in my case), because of 2 specific reasons (Leopard 10.5.2 with FCP with latest updates):
1. Using big or complex vector art (ais), have made crash motion (rendering too), if i set the quality to "best".
Solution: always keep the Quality in the views and render in normal mode.
2. Motion repeatedly crashed, sometimes at the start up, calling for an error in the Ozone or Lithium plugin (almost got crazy for this in a deadline).
Solution: Deactivate the previews in "timeline" and specially "layers" panel, (timeline is deactivated in preferences/appearance/timebar display set to "name", and in layers there is a little arrow in the upper right corner of the panel just uncheck "preview".)
This after several days of trial an error, after this 2 changes i went from almost every minute crashes (including render), to 1 crash at day.
I hope this work for someone else too.
