Too many presets
Well day three with the new Kona3 board and I love it.
One question though. Since I’m running both the Kona and an Io on the same machine I have presets ‘o plenty. I usually use only a handfull of them, so is there any way to hide the others in the list until they are needed? I don’t want to get rid of them, just hide them to “un-clutter” the pulldown menu.
Can this be done?

you will regret getting rid of “easy setups” that you don’t need, because on day soon, some client will walk in and say “can you do S-Video to DVCPro compression ?”. Or something that you never use – you will need it.
It is SO EASY to make your own EASY SETUPS. Use the AJA easy setups, and when you are happy, go to the Audio/Video settings, and call this TomBeta1800, or TomVHS, or TomDSR45.
This way, they will all be in one area in the Easy Setups, and you will never lose anything, and have all the setting you want.Bob Zelin (everyone is overwhelmed by the number of presets).

You can go into the Library where the presets are kept and manually pull them out into another folder.
Library/FinalCutProSystem Support/Custom Settings. I think it’s as simple as creating another folder
right in the FCP System Support folder and putting the rarely used settings there. Move them back when you need them.
Trash your prefs too.

The path is Library/Application Support/FCP System Support/Custom Settings

Both are good ideas. Thanks!

The easiest way I found to do this is to put an asterisk ‘*’ at the end of the preset name, but before the suffix you want to show up and then unclick the show all button. This cuts down on the amount of presets by a bunch. This willthen flag this particular preset as a ‘default’ and will show up in the normal lists of presets and you won’t have to ‘show all’.
