codecs location
Hi,
Could someone tell me the exact location of the codecs that FCP 6 uses. After messing about with some codecs i get a”codec not found” error.
Could someone tell me where to place the codecs?
(and where not? I now placed all my codecs in 2 folders: Mac HD>Library>Quicktime AND in Mac HD>System>Library>Quicktime)
Thanks a lot,
simon

OS X puts its QuickTime components into the /System/Library/Quicktime folder … you should leave anything and everything in the /System folder well alone. Danger, Will Robinson!
FCP puts its QuickTime components into the /Library/Quicktime folder ( and this is where you should put back any FCP QuickTime components you may have moved) — this is the Public library as it were, with access granted to all applications run by any user
The final library folder is in your user folder at ~/Library/Quicktime folder — this is a Private library that only applications run by your user can access, so any components you place in here will be accessible only when logged in under your user account.
