  • Unable to locate Final Cut Pro Preference files

    Posted by Jeremy Stuart on November 9, 2012 at 4:16 pm

    Hello,

    here’s a problem I need urgent help with. FCP7 is misbehaving ( keeps crashing on renders and selecting clips at random and so on). I quit and re-launched, then tried repairing permissions, all to no avail.

    The next step is to trash the FCP preference files, but here’s the problem.
    I have located the Library folder, and inside there are 2 files called:
    com.apple.RegFinalCutStudio.plist
    com.apple.RegFinalCutStudio.plist.lockfile

    From what I have read there is also supposed to be a folder called
    Final Cut Pro User Data, and there are other files in there that I am supposed to trash. But I don’t seem to have that folder and when I search the computer nothing comes up.

    Here’s my question: Why can I not locate the FCPUser Preferences Folder and why does the plist file I have found have the “REG” in front of it? Shouldn’t it just say com.apple.finalcutpro.plist?

    What am I supposed to trash?

    Here are my specs:
    MacPro tower
    2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 MB
    OSX 10.7.4
    FCP 7.0.3

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am in the middle of a project and on a time crunch.

    Thanks,

    Jeremy
