Digital Cinema Desktop Preview unavailable
I am suddenly unable to use Digital Cinema Desktop Preview.
Recently my hard drive died. I replaced it and re-installed stuff.
Before the crash, I could use Digital Cinema Desktop preview for full screen playback on my MacBook Pro 15″. Now it only has the option “none”.
Any Ideas? Apple no longer supports FCP 5.
Thanks.Thanks,

Toggle the external video to all frames in the View > External Video menu.

It cannot be toggled, just stays at off in external video and video playback options are only “none”. Digital Cinema Preview does not appear as an option.
I know it worked on this machine before, I used it.
Now… nothing even listed.Thanks,

That’s weird. Try trashing your preferences.

Also try going into the Audio Video settings preference (option-apple-q) and selecting the A/V devices tab and see if you can choose Digital Cinema Desktop.

I already had him trash his prefs…no go. I told him to come here for more voices.
(This is my DP from my last four projects.)

Does he have another monitor hooked up?

I dunno. Didn’t get that far. And he is in Florida, and I in Los Angeles.

Indeed trashing preferences did not help.
A/V devices tab shows only “none” as options.
Digital Cinema Desktop Preview appears nowhere as a choice… not in A/V devices, not in View menu, not in setup window…nowhere.
I’m suspecting it’s something to do with the crash, but I re-installed fresh system and FCP.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far… still searching.Thanks,

No other monitors are hooked up.
I tried connecting my 24″ Cinema Display, but still no Digital Cinema Desktop preview option.Thanks,

Have you run all the software updates?
