Green Slug (Final Cup Pro v.5)
For some reason, the slug in my video generator turns green. I have reset preferences, made it other colors but it defaults back to green, did I hit somehing wron, have a bug? or is this a deeper issue.

I didn’t know you could make the SLUG a different color.
Anyway, if you continue to have problems, just use the “Matte” color generator set to the color black.

Something in FCP5 is definately buggy. i have never seen a slug go green but i have had other things go green like a nested sequence or a random frame when jumping along the timeline. Do u have a blackmagic card? The only machine which has had any green activity at our ofice is the machine with the blackmagic card. Just wondering if there is a connection.

I sometimes get the same thing, but on both macs with or without decklink cards. Can’t remember the solution now.. was it reinstalling quicktime ?

The green slug comes from corruption in your preferences, and they need to be discarded. They are in Users/”your name”/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data. In my experience “green slug disease” happens regardless of what other cards/hardware you have installed. If you haven’t backed up your preferences, you will need to reset them after discarding and restarting FCP. For future preference resets, try FCP Rescue.

I have previously discarded the preferences and that reset works until I create a new project. Othse you have to clear the preferences every time.
Thanks
