Final Cut Pro HD: Motion relinking

Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 may not recognize Motion (.motn) files when you open a Final Cut Pro project on a different computer than the one used to create it. This issue occurs if you used Media Manager in Final Cut Pro to collect a project containing Motion files, and moved the project to another computer. This can happen with files created in Motion 1 or Motion 2.

To resolve this issue, you will need to relink the Motion files on the second computer before opening the Final Cut Pro project. To do this:

1. Open the Motion project file in Motion and relink the media by clicking Reconnect and locating the files.
2. Save the Motion project.
3. Open the Final Cut Pro project and relink the media files.
