Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1850)

Installing and Restoring Easy Setups
Final Cut Pro places several Easy Setup files on your hard disk during installation. If you
move any of these Easy Setups from their original location, you can restore them by
moving them back to the correct folder. If you deleted these Easy Setups, you can reinstall
them by reinstalling the Final Cut Pro software from the Final Cut Pro installation disc.
Some third-party video interfaces may include Easy Setups that support the interface
codecs. If no installer or instructions are included with the interface, you can manually
install the Easy Setups.
To manually install third-party Easy Setups or restore Easy Setups that you’ve moved
µ
Drag the Easy Setup preset files to the following folder:
/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Custom Settings/
The next time you open Final Cut Pro, the Easy Setups and their presets will be available
in the Audio/Video Settings window and the Easy Setup dialog.
To restore the original Easy Setups that came with Final Cut Pro
µ
Reinstall the Final Cut Pro software from the Final Cut Studio installation disc.
Loading Settings from a Network Server
Each time Final Cut Pro is opened, it checks two local directories for Easy Setups, plug-ins,
window and keyboard layouts, button bars, and so on. The local directories that
Final Cut Pro checks are:
• /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/
• /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Settings/
In addition, Final Cut Pro can also check the directory path /Network/Library/Application
Support/Final Cut Pro/ for additional settings and plug-ins. This directory path is accessible
if:
• Your computer is connected to a server using Mac OS X Server software
• Your system administrator has properly configured the accounts within your local
network so that your computer has access to the directory /Network/Library/Application
Support/Final Cut Pro/.
For more information about setting up accounts within your local network, contact your
system administrator or see the documentation included with the Mac OS X Server
software.
