Troubleshooting Motion

What To Do If Motion Starts To Misbehave

image

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.
You can see them all here.

No Jacket Required

Using Jacket Pictures in DVD Studio Pro 4

image

Jacket pictures are images your DVD player throws on the screen whenever you stop video playback. Jacket pictures are a way of branding your dvd with a company logo, graphic, or a picture of the dvd box itself (or jacket image).

Keep in mind that some DVD player manufacturers support this feature and some do not. The ones that don’t, generally use their own jacket picture when the DVD is stopped. My feeling is, why not create one anyway? The file takes up so little room on the disc, and the players that do support it will display your logo (or whatever) whenever playback is stopped.
