FCP X Locks up "restoring windows layout"

I've only had this lovely package for 6 days and now it locks up "retoring windows layout" , yes indeed, it is looking more like Windows,can't wait for it to show up on my credit card in a couple of weeks.

Just delete the Layouts folder and also this file 
com.apple.FinalCut.plist
it is located here  Computer/HD/Users/User_name/Library/Preferences
My problem started after installing new AU audio plugins. The problem this is a temporary fix as will you need to repeat this procedure everytime you start FCP until you find the source of the problem and deal with it. Let me know.

    My FCP 10.1 is freezing at  "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in library/applications support/ final cut pro... What do I do ???

    Had the same issues. For me, I found unmounting any external drives and relaunching FCPX worked.
    Mavericks seems to have some issues with launching Final Cut, so its best to launch and then plug in any external drives - hope that helps.

  • Final cut pro stalls on restoring window layout

    Hey all
    Having installed Yosemite my Final Cut Pro will not open. It stalls during the boot up phase saying "restoring window layout".
    I have tried removing the Layouts folder from the Library as detailed here Final Cut Pro X: May stop responding at "Restoring the window layout" or open to a gray window  but it does not work.
    Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks

  • Final Cut Pro X hangs while restoring window layout

    The software stops responding during startup when it begins to restore the window layout.  I have already deleted the layout folder in the Library without any benefit.
    I would appreciate any thoughts on how to resolve this issue.
    Is it possible that the problem may result from having both Final Cut Trial and Final Cut Pro as Applications? 
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Is the iMovie project in the Final Cut Projects folder? If it is, remove it from there before launching the application.

  • Restoring window layout

    Hey guys so I'm a new Premiere pro user and I was playing around with it when all my panels got screwed up.  Does anyone know how I can restore or reset the whole panel layout???  Thanks.

    Under the ' window' menu should be a reset workspace option. I'm not sure exactly what it is called.

  • Restoring window layout hanging.

    deleted layout folder.
    checked appnap.
    fcp launched in the background but useless.
    Lot's of work to do took me an hour to get this far.
    Anyone had the same issue?

    Most times trashing the Layouts folder fixes this problem.
    Also, repair permissions in Disk Utility and trash preferences with Preference Manager.
    If that doesn't do the job, see if it will launch from a new user. If it does not, I'd say it's time to reinstall.

  • Final cut stuck when opens on "Restoring the window layout"

    The software crashed and after I started it again there was a mess of files which are not found although I downlaoded them from the camera.
    Now the software doesn't show anything. Only gray screen and it is stuck on "restoring window layout"

    Trash the Final Cut Pro Layouts folder like this

  • FCP says "Restoring the window layout"

    All my Final Cut Pro X files are save on my external hard drive. When I open FCP with my hard drive plugged in, FCP says "Restoring the window layout" and a grey background appears. If I open FCP without my harddrive and then plug my harddrive in once FCP has loaded,FCP works. Please Help!

    Have you got loads of projects on your external HDD?
    If so it will usually take a long time to launch FCP X.
    You need to hide those you are not using with this excellent free app which used to cost $5 and was a bargain at that price.

    If you are using the latest FCP X 10.1 you need to close any unnecessary Libraries.

  • FCP stalls at Restoring the Window layout

    Hey all,
    FCP doesn't seem to want to open and stalls constantly on "Restoring the Window Layout"
    I've tried Final Cut Pro X: May stop responding at "Restoring the window layout" or open to a gray window - Apple Support but that doesn't help at all.
    I've tried reinstalling the whole programme. That doesn't help at all.
    in my Force Quit Applications box I'm getting a notification that com.apple.audio.InfoHelper is not responding
    Anyone got any ideas? Or do I just put this down to Apple's new definition of what a "professional" application is?
    Thanks
    Sam

    OK
    Trashed ~/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro/Layouts - quit, restarted, no change
    Trashed ~/Library/Preferences/ anything with com.apple.finalcut in the title - restarted and it now works.
    Hoping it lasts longer than the first time it "worked"
    Thanks for the help

  • FCP X freezes "Restoring the window layout"

    Hello everybody,
    I downloaded Final Cut Pro X, and at startup, the software freezes, showing "Restoring the window layout". I tried all the solutions indicated on the web, nothing works... (deleting preferences, deleting layout, using PreferecencesManger...)
    Please help!
    My computer is a Macbook Pro 15'' Mac Os 10.6.8
    Thank you
    Raph

    Well, this is one of those situationewhere deleting the preference file would actually be useful, because that is one of the things stored there - but you alreday did that...
    Are you still on 10.6? Your profile says so.. although it has to be 10.6.8 then.. as FCPX does not run on previous versions.
    Do you by any chance have a Window Manager or extension installed??

  • Removed layouts folder but still "Restoring the window layout"

    MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM
    All my Final Cut Pro X files are save on my external hard drive. When I open FCP with my hard drive plugged in, FCP says "Restoring the window layout" and a grey background appears. If I open FCP without my harddrive and then plug my harddrive in once FCP has loaded,FCP works. Please Help!
    The problem seemed to be solved by putting the layouts folder on the desktop
    But I just loaded up FCP and its the same stupid problem all over again.

    The extrernal drive doesn't have FCP installed on it. It only has the FCP projects and events.
    It isn't the drive I use for time machine
    WD my password connected with USB

  • Restore Lock Screen in Windows 8.1

    I deleted the lock screen in Windows 8.1 and now realize I need it.  How can I get it back?  
    I deleted using Windows+R  "regedit"  using this link 
    http://media.askvg.com/downloads/2012/11/Disable-Windows-8-Lock-Screen.zip
    Is there a way to get the lock screen back?

    Hi，
    The registry you posted here are this
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization]
    "NoLockScreen"=dword:00000001
    so you just need to launch regedit editor by run regedit.exe, then locate to the right place, set the value back to 0, then restart your PC.
    or just run the "restore....reg" as David mentioned.

  • FCP window layout.

    Forum,
    Can not select standard window layout,all other choices are available.
    I have trashed the preferences.
    The only change made was to select Prores high quality to see if the video quality was better than Prores std.
    Using Log and Transfer from SDHC card which worked perfectly when Prores standard was used.
    Have opend and closed FCP twice to check.
    Michael

    If contrl+U doens't work, you have a problem. Download Digital Rebellion's "Preference Manager" to trash preferences safely, it's free.
    From what you're explaining, you're getting footage off of a DSLR camera. Use ProRes 422 on FCP6, ProRes (LT) on FCP7. HQ version of ProRes won't make it any better, and just make huge files sizes you don't need. ProRes (LT) supports up to 10-bit, 4:2:2 video, which is well beyond what you're recording.

  • Window Layout FCP

    Almost everytime I start up FCP I have to load my own window layout. Whilst earlier FCP remembered this layout.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?
    I have this problem on my G5 but also on the Mac Pro.
    (Working on multiple mac's. Same problem there.)

    Are you saving it as a custom layout? Hold the option key down and select one of the User Layouts.
