FCP Preference Manager, FREE!: "

This tool allows you to manage preference files for Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Express. Trash your preferences’ is often a mantra when trouble shooting errors in FCP. I found this free utility from Digital Rebellion works well. Makes it easy to backup and trash your preferences rather than navigating through the library files manually.

Preference files store information about user preferences, window and toolbar placements, and launch settings. Sometimes these can become corrupted, causing problems. Preference Manager allows you to trash corrupted preferences and keep backups of working preference files in order to quickly restore your settings.

Features

  • Works for all applications in Final Cut Studio, not just Final Cut Pro
  • Backs up preferences, FCP button bars, keyboard layouts, column layouts, window layouts, track layouts, custom settings, user plugins, Boris text plugin preferences and Compressor settings and destinations
  • Unlimited backups
  • Completely free
  • Lock preference files to prevent modification
  • Assign a custom backup location
  • Backups are stored in a single file, making it easier to move them to another machine
  • Works with Final Cut Pro 3.0 and above and all versions of Final Cut Studio
  • Link backups to a particular project so that the backup will be restored when the project is launched, useful for per-project settings such as scratch disks
  • Categorize your backups for easy identification
