  • Font selection coming up on different screen

    Posted by Joseph Bradley on February 1, 2007 at 11:30 pm

    I have two monitors, on one is the bin and the other is for editing. When I am creating text in the control tab and I push the font button to change fonts the popup screen opens onto the bin screen. If I change the font to anything past the S’s it opens where it is supposed to. Any ideas as to why?

    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).

    Download these free Apple Scripts at

    or

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