Has it happened to you? You are chugging along great, working on a cool project. Then one morning you fire up Motion, and something goes wrong.
Perhaps it freezes or crashes; or your project presets are missing; or your filters or missing; or perhaps your entire Utility Pane (which contains the File Browser, Library, and Inspector) has just vanished and you can’t seem to make it come back. Many folks never run into any of these issues, but if you do, over on applemotion.net I’ve compiled a list of common problems and solutions to help you get back up and running as quickly as possible.
