Moving, Deleting, and Restoring an Easy Setup

Easy Setups that come with Final Cut Pro are located within the application itself, as
well as a specific folder on your hard disk:
/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Custom Settings

Easy Setups stored within the application itself are locked, so you cannot modify or
delete them.

Important:

If you decide to make an Easy Setup unavailable, make sure you aren’t

using it in any current projects and won’t need it for future projects. Once you remove
or delete an Easy Setup, sequences that use it will not play properly.
