FCP 11 not showing custom overlays

A set of custom overlays created when using FCP 10 are not showing (though still listed in the dropdown menu) with FCP 11. Even after deleting the overlays and reinstalling them they are still not showing. I also deleted FCP 11 and reinstalled. Still nothing. Any advice, anyone?

Mac Studio, macOS 14.6

FCP custom overlays not working. Fix is on the way. I just spent over 2 hours in total working with one of their technicians to ensure that this issue was just not mine alone. They are officially working on it with their engineers. January 9, 2025. Just an FYI to anybody who has encountered this problem.

Why are layered clips hovering with a gap in an old project after the latest update? For some reason my layered clips have started hovering above one another with a significant gap betwen them. I've never had this before and don't know how to resolve? Maybe to do with the latest update and an old project? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

FCP does not always remember settings for projects? I'm newer to FCP now about 12 months into it. One thing I find annoying is that FCP does not remember my settings in two areas even on the same project that I'm still working on. One is in the settings for Skimming, Audio Skimming, Clip Skimming, and Snapping. Like every few days it just reverts to being unchecked again when I previously had them all checked . The other is on the size of the clips in the project area (see the picture for the one I'm talking about). Here again, it seems randomly (but maybe every other day or so), both of these scroll bars end up all the way to the left and I have to re-size them again. Is there something I'm overlooking to have these just always stay the same? I'm talking even on existing projects. I could maybe see if I created a new event or new project and had to re-set all these but this happens even with an existing project from one night to the next. Thank you.

I was just asking because simple overlays don't take long to make in Motion. If you post your overlay here, I might be able to recreate it as a template for you.
