Trashing Preferences
Can someone walk me through the proceedure of trashing preferences. I have FCP 5 and have recently had a problem with FCP freezing up on me. Also when I shut down and reboot my external drives do not attach. I have have never trashed preferences and thought this might resolve my issues.
Thanks. |

I'm a relatively new user of FCP, so I'm no expert, but my understanding is this:
Go into your home folder, then open the library folder, then the preferences folder. Delete the file "com.apple.final.cut.pro.plist" Then scroll down to the FCP User Data folder, and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 prefs Final Cut Pro Obj Cache Final Cut Pro Prof Cache Then empty the trash. Also: Don't do this while FCP is running. And don't trash folders, only files. |

Set up your FCP system as you need, use this to backup a "good" set of prefs and then anytime you suspect a corrupt prefs, restore. It's available at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14729 There is a version for FCP6, FCP5, and earler. Select the version of FCP you have. HTH, Grant |
