    Trash your preferences.

    User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs

    Go ahead and trash the other 2 files too. (Obj cache, Prof cache)

    See if that helps. FCP will re-create these files when you open the application if they are not in that folder, so it is an effective way to “re-start” to “factory” settings.

    Hope this helps.
