You can’t change the default but you can save a preset, either within the filter itself or by using my personal preference, the save preset button. If you use the latter, you end up with a new icon in your effects list that will apply the limiter (and whatever other effects you bundle with it) with the settings you chose.

I take it these effects were custom Motion based ones? If so then removing them from the Motion templates folder is all there is to it. If it involved any effects with custom installed components, then you may have to contact the author to find out how to uninstall it completely. There could be parts of the plugin still lurking elsewhere (generally in one of the two Application Support folders but not necessarily under FinalCutPro).
In any event, have you tried resetting Final Cut’s preferences? Also, try logging in as a new user and see if the crash still happens, that way you’ll know if it’s Final Cut in general, or just something in your user account.
FCPX scans for plugins on launch and, because an added effect turns up pretty much immediately, I assume it also watches the Motion Templates folder for changes. If all else fails, you might try re-installing FCPX to see if that forces a full refresh of the plugins.

Essentially, you do that by skimming the timeline so I guess the engineers didn’t feel the need to add it to the Viewer window itself.

If you have Compressor, you can create a custom preset that exports to mono.

Sorry, no there’s not.
And in an application with magnetic timelines & connected clips, I suspect it’d be a mighty dangerous thing to do unless you were absolutely sure none of those disabled clips were acting as slugs for something else.

I think you;re missing the “group by” setting – it’s under gear icon at the bottom of the clip browser window – change that to “none”.

I think the fastest way would be to make a compound clip of your timeline for export, then make the compound clip’s audio dual mono.

If you have compressor you can just use the compressor preset for Vimeo. There’s one that doesn’t do an upload at the end.

As mentioned, your link didn’t come through but…
Aspect ratio: click on the project, go to the project settings button in the info panel, check that you’re project is set up properly. If it is then there’s something weird about the footage so you might have to go to the info panel and change the spatial conform settings for the footage.
Lighting: if you just want to make particular colours pop, then it sounds like you just want to use the colour board and limit the effect with a colour mask and maybe a regular mask to limit the effect to a region, then boost the appropriate colours. I can’t see the picture but this isn’t something you’d usually mess with in camera – well maybe you would – but DSLR cinematography is a topic for a whole different forum 🙂
Faking depth of field is really just a matter of stacking layers, and using feathered masks and possibly lots of key-framing if the camera is moving. i also vaguely remember there being a free gradient blur effect floating around the Internet a while back that might be worth googling for. I personally use the depth of field preset that comes with the SliceX plugin quite a lot for simple static shots.

What you’ve posted is a picture of the clips in the multiclip editor, where you can tweak the sync, do some global colour grading, etc. You get into the editor by opening a multiclip, so go back to that clip, drop it into your timeline, hit cmd-shift-7 to open the angle viewer, and you’re good to go.
