motion crashes on file import

Motion crashes on file import.

In a new project, I'll select file import to bring in assets, one of three things happens, 1. It works and I can navigate to the file and import. 2, I can navigate to the file but as soon as I click import Motion crashes. 3. As soon as I select Import and the file browser opens,, Motion hangs and then crashes (the most common error).

I have not managed once to start a new project this morning as when I import 1 file the 2nd import will crash. I have tried importing from different drives ( system and 2 external) and also importing the files from different layers of the directory e.g not from a nest of sub folders but first visible file. I am importing basic RGB JPEG's at less than HD resolution that will import without issue into FCPX / Photoshop etc.. I have also tried different projects e.g 4K, HD, 25 fps, 29.97 fps, 50 fps etc. same issue.

Any ideas? I'm on Moterey 12.6.3 on an 8 Core I9 16" MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM and AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 4GB RAM. Motion 5.8.3. Only other apps open, Safari, Mail, Messages, and in the menu bar, Adobe Creative Cloud, Norton 360, One Drive and Google Drive.

I have the full system error report saved as a text file.I have pasted part of the error below.

If you haven't already, restart your mac and try again.

If the problem persists:

1) Delete Motion preferences, as they may have become corrupted, and that will cause subsequent crashes.

To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting Motion and click Delete Preferences.

2) If the problem persists, Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
