Quick question: I recently tried to install the Final Cut Studio on my Powerbook, and everything went successfully, or so I thought. FCP opens fine, as well as DVD Studio Pro, but when I try to open Motion, it bounces maybe twice on the dock, then stops and sits there. No black triangle under it or anything. I try it again, bounces once, then it stops. Take it out of the dock, and open it: bounce once in the dock then disappears. I have no clue why this is happening, but I need Motion. So basically I have two questions: first, does anybody know why this is happening, or experienced it with any other programs?

Secondly, I tried to "uninstall" the entire studio from my Powerbook, I guess just by dragging and dropping the icons from the apps folder to the trash. Is this the correct way to uninstall them? I assume no, because when I insert disc 1 of the Final Cut Studio, it just says that everything is an upgrade, and not an installation. Therefore, the size is 0 bytes in all of them. How do I get a clean install of the Final Cut Studio so when I try to install it again, its like for the first time. I don't even type in the serial numbers anymore, and I know that can't be right! Please help!

thanks alot! Please help

check your console for why Motion is crashing and to reinstall delete the corresponding packages from
/Library/Receipts

This is what console said (I'm guessing something to do w/ Livetype? Do I not have it installed?) Thanks

Missing a Framework would cause a crash. Not sure why that didn't get installed the first time around. Anyone who owns the Studio suite of applications like to confirm that that Framework does, in fact, exist on your machine?

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LiveType.framework/Versions/A/LiveType does not seem to exist on my computer, yet Motion launches fine. Maybe a corruption from installing on top of an earlier version of Final Cut Pro?
