Window layout

In my final cut pro 7 settings i have made 5 personal window layouts.
I know where they are located:    Users/your name/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Window Layouts.
Now i want to make another one.
When i try to save it, the window layout folder shows a small x and the 5 other layouts that are in the folder are grey.
So i can't save another preset window layout.
Does anyone know what is the problem?
THX!

I'd try repairing permissions (applications:  utilities:  Disk Utility)
and deleting fcp preferences

But you can save your windows layout to another location.  Have you tried that?  If that works, you could try to manaully move the layout file into the window layout folder

    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.

  • 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??

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • "Restoring the window layout" hang - tried everything! HELP!

    I'm in Mavericks and am experiencing that "Restoring the Window Layout" hang that is kinda infamous around these parts.
    Except that in my case, I've done EVERYTHING that all the other links suggest. I have:
    *Trashed the Layouts folder (inside Users/myusername/Library/App Support/Final Cut Pro)
    *Trashed prefs (inside Users/myusername/Library/Preferences)
    *Followed the instructions to remove FCPX entirely (as found here: Final Cut Pro X 10.1: How to remove and reinstall Final Cut Pro X) *and* repeated the removal of Layouts and prefs as stated above.
    And the problem still persists.
    I am [attempting to run] the latest version (10.1.2). Purchased through the App Store so it is verified as the latest.
    I can in no way get FCPX to launch properly. Every time I try, it hangs during the launch on the "Restoring the Window Layout" launch screen. I do see my last-used project partially drawn behind it, but the window is all funky (things are in weird places).
    Please help...kinda desperate here...

    Thank you so much.
    I am certain I had trashed all the prefs mentioned in the other threads (there were about 3, in the Users/Prefs folder), but I tried your key command, got the prompt to completely trash all prefs, and it did indeed cure the issue. Thanks a ton!

  • Restoring the window layout

    I have constant freezing when opeing up Final Cut Pro X (10.1) - the message given by the welcome-screen is "Restoring the window layout".
    I know this is an "old" problem and I've had it with earlier versions of FCPX as well - but now with 10.1 the problem is constant in the way that it happends almost with every start. The workaround I've found (deleting Library/Application Support/Final Cut/Layouts AND Library/Preferences/com.apple.finalcut.plist, AND then reboot the computer) work fine every time. But - of course this is not ideal in any way.
    Is there any one out there who have found a cause to this behavior?!

    What the heck are you guys talking about?!
    This issue is coming up again; the issue was previously resolved with 10.0.3.
    Followed all steps in KB, followed tips found on reputable FCPX sites, no luck.
    We are opening a ticket with Apple, hopefully they'll give us a fix, or they'll acknowledge the regression and will issue a patch ASAP.

  • 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

  • AA2.0 How do I transfer the Window layout...

    The new monster machine has been delivered and I'm working on setting it up;
    > Dell Precision Workstation T7400
    > XP-64
    > Dual Socket, Dual Quad Core Xeon
    > 8GB DDR2 RAM
    > 120GB SSD C:\
    > 320GB D:\  [ WD 7200 ]
    > 320GB E:\  [ WD 7200 ]
    > 320GB F:\  [ WD 7200 ]
    > SB X-Fi Xtreme Music [WDM] Sound Card
    (They want to eventually be able to do video work also that's why I had this monster ordered)
    I however, don't want to spen the next 6 days setting up AA2.0
    is there anyway to transfer the window layout settings from one AA2.0 install to a new one,
    the first run layout is way too much junk for what I use it for
    I tried searching but nothing of any relevance was presented in the results
    all I want is to have it look as close to AA1.0 as possible
    which I have already managed to do on my home machine
    and the previous (old machine) install here
    however, I'm not kidding when I say it takes 6 days to set it up the way I want
    just trying to move the level indicator below the main window and above the rest
    is nearly impossible it always goes behind or in front of the main window
    making a huge useless 1000Px wide x 800Px tall level indicator (screen res 1152x 854)
    or it pops behind or in front of one of the other small windows
    here's my setup:
    Edit View:
    1> Regular Tool Bar (not the Hybrid)
    2> Main window
    3> Transport Controls
    4> Time window
    5> Zoom Controls
    6> Selection / View position indicator
    7> Level Indicator
    8> I float the Cue list & only open it when I need it.
    here's AA1.0 on this machine
    The other AA2.0 machines aren't running
    I'll post my AA2.0 window layout later (when I fire it up tomorow)
    A-Ω

    Thanks Craig;
    I've been using 2.0 like this since I set it up and I don't use a lot of the "extra features"
    working strictly in EV, I like my wave as big as I can have it while still being able to
    use the rest of the machine
    the work I do has me splitting words to correct:
    stuttering
    ummm's
    repeated words
    andahhhh's
    etc.
    all while making it sound like the speech errors never happened
    1152 x 864 on a 17" monitor makes the normal windows text tiny and unreadable
    without modification to the default font size and then selecting the Windows (Large) theme
    I'm from the old school when a  15"  monitor was considered huge and 800 x 600 was the res. to have
    here's my screen from home office setup on the exact same monitor res. as the AA1.0 from the office setup
    I just want to transfer the settings for this layout because it's what I use

  • Custom window layout for Motion

    I'm working with FCP 4.5 and I have lot's of motion (scale/rotate..) on my current project.
    I'm trying to create a custom window layout where I would have the motion replacing the timeline, but I can't get it to work. The saved layout always brings up the motion for the clip that was open when I saved the layout, not the one I'm working on.
    What would be an easy way to switch to motion view of current clip in viewer, without having to click on tabs and dragging windows?
    Thanks.

    You can have multiple Viewers open. I do that often when I have complicated effects in play. But there really isn't a way to do what exactly what you want, AFAIK.
