Couple of days after reporting several issues due to Apple-released updates: the Airport problem affecting MacBook following 10.4.10 update, QuickTime 7.2, SuperDrive Firmware killing optical drives, this is now the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 which is creating problems. Unlike other issues, Apple immediately published a technnote about it.
Motion unexpectedly quits after MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0
When running Motion (included with Final Cut Studio) after installing MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 on a MacBook Pro 2.2 or 2.4 GHz computer, Motion may unexpectedly quit.
Products affected
Motion 2
Motion 3
MacBook Pro (2.4/2.2 GHz)

Solution
You can use Motion with a MacBook Pro (2.4/2.2 GHz) computer, but you should avoid installing MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 on the computer. If you have already applied this update, perform an Archive & Install installation of Mac OS X using the discs which were included with the computer. After reinstalling Mac OS X, reinstall Final Cut Studio.
This document will be updated as more information becomes available.
In summary, do not apply the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 to your Santa Rosa MacBook Pro (2.4/2.2 GHz) if you are using FCP or depending on Motion, as the current fix will be quite time-consuming: Reinstall OS X and FCP...
As we already reported it couple of months ago, Apple is clearly suffering from a lack of internal engineers and developers who after being dedicated to the iPhone, are now fully concentrating on Leopard, while they have to fix some bugs in the current OS X 10.4.10. Apple needs to strengthen its resources in this area, but it will take some times till Mac users can benefit of new recruited coders in Cupertino (training, gaining experience, etc.).
