    The prefs were overwritten during the update.
    this is normal behaviour for FCP
    Pref manager from digital rebellion can help by saving your prefs and allowing them to be recalled and a great free software.

    The other thing to do is as you create favorites drag them from the favorites into a project browser bin and name that project something like “Hold Favorites”
    Then when prefs are trashed and/or you didn’t use pref manager to update etc you can open the project named “Hold Favorites” and copy your favorites back to the favorites bin

    Thanks Doug. Im already found problem. It was my fault. I had set “ownership “flag” of the volume, where FCP saves their prefs(“ignore ownership on this volume” will be unchecked for FCP).
