FCP5 missing plugins
I’ve just installed FCP5 on my Mac and now it won’t recognise all the plugins I was using with FCPHD. Any one have any ideas? They’re all still in the plugins folder, but won’t show up in FCP. They aren’t placed anywhere different for v5 are they?

Are you sure they are in the plug-ins Library for FCP5 (and not the one for FCP4)?
If they ARE in the proper place then:
The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.

Sorted it!
Repaired permissions then restarted and everything’s back to normal. Thanks! 🙂
