Q: Unable to toggle Snapping, Skimming etc

I seem to have lost the ability to toggle snapping, skimming etc on and off.

This is very annoying.

 

Whether I use keyboard shortcuts, the mouse to click the toolbar icons, or select them in "View" they stay on all the time.

 

Trashed prefs, rebooted Mac, to no avail.

 

Any ideas anyone?

    I had the same issue and fixed it by going into the Go (hold option)>Library>Preferences and moving everything inside it to a folder on the desktop. Then restart the comp. This will fix the buttons issue with FCPX.

    That would mean resetting all preferences of all apps. Deleting just FCPX prefs did not fix the issue, as it is the first thing I have tried. I didn't manage to fix the issue at all and had to create a new user account.

    Creating a new user account is a better way of dealing with user preferences.

    Just wondering if anyone has found a solid solution to this problem? I have been experiencing loss of buttons and snapping recurring about every week. I have to trash all the prefs of all my applications to get my buttons back. But after a week or so, it happens again. I would like to narrow it down to the exact file that's causing the problem. Is it an issue with my user profile? And if so why is Fcpx so closely tied to these other prefs files? I am on a first gen MBPr, 16gb ram. When I installed mavericks I did a clean install and transferred applications with time machine. I was having this problem ML with 10.0.9 as well. I was hoping that 10.1 would have fixed it but it didn't.

    Hi all,

     

    Maybe something that will work for you !

     

    Go to this location : ~/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro

    Just delete the "Layouts" folder and its content and restart FCP.

     

    Did the trick for me !

     

    Hope this helps,

    Torp
