Window arrangement – where to put custom arrangement file in system
Hi All
I have a screen arrangement saved, and I want this arrangement to be seen in the list of available arrangements within final cut (not as a ‘Custon Layout 1’).
Does anyone have an idea where within the system my screen arrangement file should be placed so FCP sees it on launch? I have found the apple presets within the application package, but if I put the file there, nothing happens….Any help would be much appreciated.
Best

Henry,
After you set up your window layout. Go to window>arrange>save window layout. When you get the save box enter the name you want and save. If you do not change anything it should open up this way when you start FCP. If not it should now be part of the list in window>arrange>.

Thanks for your reply, and Ill try that as soon as I can to see what happens.There is one potential problem I think Im going to have with that though. This window arrangement is to be included in a build sent out by Radmind (a file system server), and as such we have pin files to specific places knowing that final cut will know where to look without relying on single user preferences.
Do you or anyone know where a ‘correct and definitely the right place for final cut to always load it with clean preferences’ place might be?Best

Henry,
I’m not sure, but you could copy the window layout and place it on the server. The window layouts are located, HD>user>____>library>Preferences>FCP User Data>Window Layouts. That might help. It seems that they are per user so you may not be able to have them on a server.
good luck!Billy Stuart
