In Motive, the Status Log pane can be accessed under the View tab or by clicking the icon on the main toolbar.

The Status Log pane logs important events or statuses of the system operation. Currently occurring events get listed under the Current section and all of the events get logged under the History section for the record. The log can be exported into a text file for troubleshooting references.

In general, when there are no errors in the system operation, the Current section of the log should remain free of error or warning messages. Occasionally during system operations, the error/warning messages (e.g. Dropped Frame, Discontinuous Frame ID) popup momentarily and disappear afterwards. This could occur when Motive is changing its configurations; for example, when switching between Live and Edit modes or when re-configuring the synchronization settings. This is a normal behavior and nothing needs to be fixed as long as the error messages does not persist. If the error message is continuously persisting in the Current section of the status log panel, it probably means that there is an issue with the system operation.
