If you are planning to install Motion 2, here are some important things to consider before installing.
- Motion 2 cannot be installed on the same partition as Motion 1.0 or 1.0.1. If you want to continue using Motion 1.x, you should install Motion 2 on a different partition.
- You will need Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger if you want to use the new 16-bit or 32-bit float rendering in Motion 2 (you should also have a 256 MB graphics card installed).
- When you're installing Motion, if you choose an alternate install location for your Motion Content and then run the HD templates installer, the HD templates may not get installed in your alternate location. This can happen if there is a space in the alternate install path (for example, ~/Documents/my content), or if the path contains the name Motion (for example, ~/Documents/motion). In the latter scenario, the HD Templates will get installed in the default location (/Users/Shared/Motion/Templates). You can move the templates to your preferred location, but you must move or copy all of the following files:
- Motion/Library/Content/Tech Blue
- Motion/Library/Content/Blocks
- Motion/Templates/Tech Blue
- Motion/Templates/Blocks
The Motion HD Templates.pkg installer is located in the Motion Extras folder on the Motion 2 install disc.
