Motion not exporting video, just a black screen

I am creating some scrolling text in Motion and when I export the file I am using the same setting I always have. It is a quicktime movie and I am using the current project and canvas settings. I haven't changed anything but after a few times of exporting scrolling text it only shows a black screen in the exported file. The first few work fine. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

I've seen this problem off and on again for so long now I consider it a feature and not a bug. I have no idea what causes it as I've seen it happen with different versions of Motion, under different versions of the OS on different Macs.
The solution for me is to export as an Animation file when this happens. Nothing else works from reinstalling to trashing the com.apple.motion.plist file.
I've also never ever ever had a .motn file in FCP's timeline render as anything but pure black. Even trying it on different machines in different editing suites. It just doesn't work and never has for me.

  • TS3274 Video app will not play videos just a black screen

    I have downloaded videos on my iPad. I press the video app and all I get is a black screen. I have turned off plus restarted the iPad STILL I get nothing. What welsh is there to do? Thanks

    I have been having this same problem since the update. Are you running No-Script by chance? That is what was causing me an issue with embedded videos like on Vevo on Youtube, or youtube videos on news sites which would give me "An error has occured" message. Even if I allowed all scripts on the page, or even globally, the video would always return that error. By disabling NoScript, I was able to watch videos again on all of the sites I was having a problem with.
    I tested this on another computer with Firefox 3.5. Videos worked fine as long as NoScript was allowing their host (youtube.com, etc) Seems like there is some sort of issue with NoScript and Firefox 3.6.15.

  • I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

    I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

    I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

  • My ipad will not turn on; just a black screen with the apple symbol on it.

    My nephew was on my IPad then I just frozed on him.  So he tried to reset it but it only shows a black screen and the apple symbol on the front.  The screen has been going off and on, like if it's trying to reset???  Is this a typical problem with the Ipad?  Can the ipad get virus'?  

    Before taking your iPad to your Apple Store, reboot it:  To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will reset.  If that doesn't solve your problem, the next step would be connect to iTunes and restore your iPad.  If that fails, THEN you take it to Apple.

  • Video files are playing audio without video (just a black screen)

    Video files are playing audio without video. It just shows a blank screen. These same videos work just fine in Chrome, thogh.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • My iPod touch will not come on just a black screen

    my ipod touch will not turn on,

    Make sure the device is plugged in to the charger for at least 10 minutes before trying to power on. If that doesnt work try a hard reset on the device, hold in the home button and the power button until the Apple shows on the screen.
    Thanks

    Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
    Thank you

    Unless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library.  How is the flash drive formatted?  If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
    If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • ITunes purchased shows do not playback just a black screen

    My wife and son are leaving tomorrow to ME. We purchased ~1$12 worth of shows. They playback in iTunes application but do not playback on her iPod video 30GB and she is running 1.1.2 firmware.
    You can select the video and feel the drive queueing it up but just a black screen is displayed. I have other videos I have converted myself and they work fine.
    Any ideas on what causes this?

    How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

    Did you ever figure out how to turn your phone on?  Mine died today around noon for no reason.  I'm so mad at it!  I can't get it turned on, and I KNOW the battery is charged.  Suggestions?  I'm going to the genius bar (another trip completely out of my way) tomorrow morning.  Suggestions??  Oh and please don't tell me to hold the "home" button and the "power" button together because I've been doing that all day.  It doesn't work.

    Leave it alone for an hour and try the reset procedure again. Make sure you're using a genuine Apple charger & cable in a known good wall outlet. You can also try another cable if necessary, and make sure the charging area is clean and free of fluff & debris.
