  • Cant Add Effects in Final Cut Pro 5.0.4

    Hey guys and Gals;

    New to FCP, was using it for about 4 months now with no problems when all of a sudden my video transitions and video filters became grayed out under Effects tab. Even the Effects Bar above the Browser window disappeared. I think this became a problem when I changed the name of my scratch disk on my external Hard-drive, Maybe? Any thoughts or Suggestions?

    Change the name back and see what happens. Also, trash prefs & repair permissions.
