None of my windows in FCP except for the canvas will show up
I’ve been working on a project in Final Cut Studio 5 for a while and my power mac took a swan dive and I borrowed my brother in law’s G4 tower to finish it. When I opened the project (or any other project) only the canvas widow appears. All the other windows have checks next to them in the Window pull down but even if I select them and un-select them, they don’t appear. What am I doing wrong??
Thanks for any help,
Josh

Have you tried these?
You only get a timeline on the screen when a sequence is open in any project. So double click any sequence in the Bin to see if that opens up the shop. You mentioned that viewer, timeline and canvas windows are checked in the Window Menu, just to double check, the shortcut keys for the viewer window and the timeline are Cmd 1 & Cmd 3 respectively. Try toggling them on with that.
Also, depending on your brother in-law’s screen resolution, the windows may just be off the screen, try selecting one of the standard screen layouts from the Window>Arrange menu.
One question though, you said only the canvas window appears, you don’t even get the effect tab or a bin when you open any project?Simon

Keyboard tip. Get Control of your layout. Control U.
