Peter –
Faster/easier way is to create a new user (as you’re doing.) If you open the Settings window (command + =) and then Open Settings File (command + O) you’ll be given the option to open a Setting or Preferences File. Navigate to your existing User file (for your earlier version of MC) and select the Settings.xml. This will open up a separate window with your old (existing) settings file from which you can drag and drop individual settings that you have already created into your new User Settings tab. I believe you’ll be given the option to “Add” individual user settings the new settings, or “Replace” the new settings w/ old ones. You’ll probably want to mix-and-match at this point. But pre-set Export / Workspaces / Timeline / Keyboard settings – pretty much all set-ups – can be quickly and easily ported over to new base MC settings.
Hope that helps.

That’s true, Michael. I guess I could choose the 24FPS display, but as I’m inevitably going to add more layers as I work, it’s just faster to add another layer with a quick keyboard command as opposed to mousing through the TC submenu options (Sequence -> Timecode -> 24 -> Master TC). But I’ve wondered for years why that particular TC display always defaulted to video layer 5.

I’ve always gotten that, in any project, if v5 (or occasionally v6) is the topmost layer in the sequence. If that’s the case, just add another blank video layer and it should display proper 24 FPS timecode (and not 30 FPS w/ 3:2 cadence)
