marked favourite clips fcpx not showing green

My clips have very suddenly stopped showing the green line for favourites and I need to restore them.

It's across all projects so a FCPX issue as far as I can tell. I can still filter by Favourites but the colour isn't showing.

I'm on Catalina 10.15.7 and using FCPX 10.5.4. I can't upgrade at the moment as I'm mid-projects.

I've checked preferences and they should be working. I've rebooted but still have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Try deleting preferences.

To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences.

The application will start in a default state, and open an "Untitled" library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.

Corrupted preferences occur from time to time, and can cause all sorts of issues.

That is why when we see some weird behavior one of the first things we try is to delete the preferences.

Thanks! That worked! What could have happened? It was so random...
