How to open MOTN file?
The main problem with Apple Motion Motion is that the MOTN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MOTN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MOTN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Apple Final Cut Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Apple Final Cut Pro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Apple Final Cut Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MOTN with Apple Final Cut Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file MOTN.
Programs to open MOTN file
Remember to download programs supporting MOTN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Final Cut Pro with MOTN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MOTN file still does not use the Apple Final Cut Pro program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MOTN file with the Apple Final Cut Pro program.
Step 3. Update Apple Final Cut Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding Apple Final Cut Pro with Apple Motion Motion there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MOTN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MOTN file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MOTN file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MOTN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MOTN files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MOTN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MOTN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the MOTN file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MOTN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MOTN file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
