Favorite effects gone every time I start FCP

This is getting frustrating...
Every time I launch FCP 5, it treats me as a first time user. It looks like my preferences are not saving when I log out and shut down. I have created a new user account and have been using that for a week, but this morning as soon as I launched the editing software it asks to choose a set-up (AV setting) and move my windows to the default location. The favorite effects are gone and all of the user and system preferences are reset to default or day-one configuration. has anyone else experinced this and did you resolve it?
thanks

Have you tried trashing prefs and starting them again?
Sounds like a corruption.
Tried http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ ?
This is a great free program.

  • Hello there,  there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic.  I'd like to send a screenshot... anyway, it's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal?  How can i improve this?  Thanks.

    hello there,  there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic.  It's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal?  How can i improve this?  Thanks.

    Hmm, that's some sort of MIDI Arpeggiator setup in your environment. Strange that you don't know it, this has to be custom-installed, it is not part of the standard setup.
    You can do two things about it:
    1.unlock your current screenset (shift-L), then close the (Bass Driver) window, then relock the screenset (shift-L). Next time you open up this project you won't see the Bass Driver, but it is still in the project.
    2. You can remove the whole page: open the Environment (cmd-8), then go to the dropdown menu arrow top left of the Environment window and select the Bass Driver layer. If it is selected, dropdown again and choose Delete. Now Save your project under a different name (Save As...), so that you still keep the Bass Driver setup in the original project. If you don't need to keep it, you can simply Save.

    Every time I start up my computer and load Firefox, the theme I was using has gone back to the default one. The theme is still on my computer and it works if I change it back, I just don't know why it won't show up when I first load Firefox.

  • ITunes Setup Assistant runs every time I start iTunes 7.3.1.3

    The past 2 iterations of iTunes have had the same problem for me - even though the program is installed already, it doesn't save my settings and runs the setup assistant every time I start the application. I've gone through the assistant twice and put everything as I had it previously but, once I close the program and restart, the assistant pops up again and my settings are gone. I never had this problem until 7.3 or 7.3.1 and it's very frustrating... (>_<)<br>

    Well, iTunes appears to finally work correctly. I don't know exactly why this is but it's due to one of three possible things. First, I uninstalled the 2 programs that I had installed to monitor what music I played for their services. These programs were Last.fm for Windows Version 1.3.1.1 iTunes plugin version 2.0.11.0 and Virb.com iTunes Plugin Version 1.0.0.5. Finally, instead of using the Apple Software Update on my computer as I had previously, this time I went directly to Apple's website, downloaded the entire iTunes + Quicktime install package, and reinstalled from that. After doing so, the Setup Assistant ran again but finally remembered my altered settings upon program restart. Now that iTunes was working properly, I have reinstalled both plugins and they now appear to function properly without negatively affecting iTunes. I hope this helps people who have also installed plugins to monitor their music listening patterns and had problems with the latest iTunes update.

  • Every time FCPX starts I have to render my project

    I experience a really awful problem...
    Every time I start my project I have to re-render the whole timeline.
    I'm using the latest version of everything, also from the CoreMelt plug-in I'm using in this project.
    As long as the project is short this doesn't happen, but after 2 minutes project lenght this happens all the time.
    I have 64 GB RAM so this should not be the problem.
    The plugin developer stated that this is a FCPX background rendering problem, but when I switch it off it's not getting better.
    Then I have to render it manually, before I can edit/watch the project.
    I have one of the fastest MaPro's available 12 core and I work on a SSD-RAID0 with highest Data-Rates...
    So what is the problem and how to solve this??

    wolfgang,
    does this happen if you delete the coremelt fx from the clips ?
    I have never had this problem. But I did demo the coremelt plugs and they gave me nothing but H++++
    Not saying they are the culprit... But if FCPx was at fault I think we'd be hearing more of it...
    Try creating a fresh project with no core melt of other effects in it but with the same clips.. Then render the timeline. Quit FCPx and relaunch and see if the problem persists...
    If it does
    Try deleting
    /Users/YourFolder/Library/Caches/ EVERYTHING FCPx
    /Users/YourFolder/Library/Preferences/ EVERYTHING FCPx
    Reboot with shift held.. Then log it.. Then reboot normally

  • Itunes reconfigures every time i startit

    I updated to itunes 11 and now every time I start itunes it is like a brand-new account, like using itunes for the first time, music gone, movies gone, playlists gone. I keep all my media on a supplemental hard drive, which I had configured on itunes 10 to find it there, and never had a problem since updating to itunes 11. I have over 30,000 songs and I have had to reload my itunes now 5 times. also, since updating, every time i try to sync my ipod it says it is not synced to this computer, would I like to wipe it clean and start over? Is there a known fix for this?  Why is this happening?

    hmmmm. could you post your CD/DVD diagnostics for us, steph?
    in itunes 7.0.x, go "help > run diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics and then hit Next.
    in itunes 6.0.x or earlier, go "help > run CD diagnostics"
    paste the complete results into a reply here.

  • Updating Adobe Community Help files fails every time after starting

    Hello,
    I e.g. go to «Support Center for Photoshop» from the menu within the app. Adobe Community Help starts up and tells me theres new content, do I want to download that. It seems to start the dl just fine, then reports an error «16882» (if I'm remembering it right).
    Why? We have very fast very broadband internet connection and I use a 2011 27" iMac with max Gig RAM installed.
    Any hints there would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Mister Kapoor,

    Seems Adobe Air or Cummunity help has gone cprrupt. Lets follow the below suggestions:
    Step 1: Uninstall adobe air from Utilities and re-install the latest adobe AIR from "http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions/"
    Step 2: Follow "http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/842/cpsid_84215.html" and re-install the Community Help Air application.
    Step 3: Restart the machine and launch adobe Community Help and try to install all the updates and check if it works fine.
    Hope that Helps!.

  • Firewall nags every time I start an export from quicktime!?

    Every time I start exporting from quicktime the firewall asks me to allow incoming network connections and to enter my admin user name and password.
    I've checked the firewall in system preferences and quicktime is on the application list and set to allow incoming connections.
    I've also tried reinstalling quicktime but to no avail.
    Any ideas on what might be causing this?

    Go to "/Library/StartupItems/LexSleeper.app” and delete the file. You'll likely need to use an admin password and be prompted to enter your password before the app will be Trashed. Reoboot and the message should be gone and you should be able to empty the trash.

  • Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup.  However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails.  And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external.  Sort of a catch 22.  Any ideas?

    Is it a USB hard drive?  USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice.  Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem.  If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time.  I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.
