losing ‘favorite effects’
In FCP 5, i seem to be losing all my favorite effects I make each time i restart FCP. In the past I’d lose them occasionally if my prefs got corrupted, but this is happening each time while I’m not even crashing. Very strange. Any ideas??

This should only happen when you trash your prefs. I’ve never seen it happen by merely re-launching FCP unless I had a bad system crash or kernel panic.

I’ve had this problem before. One workaround I found was to launch FCP, create my favorites (if they disappeared), open a project, close it, then exit FCP. Once you re-launch, the Favorites should still be intact.
Alternatively, you could create a project “template,” and drag your Favorites folder from the Effects tab into the Browser of that template. This way, you’ll never lose your Favorites, although they can only be found inside that specific project template.
