  he MCState setting files can be found in two places:

  the main Settings folder in the Media Composer application folder
  in each individual User Settings folder
  The MCState found in the Settings folder remembers what user and projects were active the last time the application was in use. It also contains certain Console commands, such as Disble3D and in version 7.x, it remembers which video format was chosen for the 3D hardware.

  The MCState in the Users folder contains window views for each user. For example, a source or record window that is stretched or a particular timline view is saved in this file. It is necessary at times when troubleshooting to delete these files and have Media Composer rebuild them as they can become corrupt.
