Ever since the upgrade to FCP 12, I see this at the bottom of the screen.
Subscribe to Edit?
Subscribe where to edit what?
Clicking on it does nothing.

Original Title: Subscribe to Edit?
This is probably more appropriate.
With the release of Final Cut Pro 12, Apple has introduced a, "Creator Studio" subscription service that offers exclusive content, such as new title templates, generators, and effects, which can trigger "subscribe to edit" prompts even for users who own the standalone, one-time purchase version.
Here is what is happening and how to manage it:
To avoid these prompts, avoid using the new, specialized content in the titles, generators, or effects browsers that are part of the Creator Studio package.
Ian, this appears at the bottom left of the right-hand monitor where I have the browser set up in my saved editing workspace. In that setup, that screen is locked full screen and I can't move it. However, if I choose another workspace, it disappears. And if I then go back to my saved dual-monitor workspace, it's gone.
I checked for some Creator Studio titles, generators, or effects and I don't have any. None of them have a blue dot. I never tried out the subscription version and never downloaded anything related to it. My editing work is pretty simple, basic stuff. I don't use any eye-wrenching effects or fancy, animated titles in my work.
I don't know what it is, and it doesn't do anything, so I'm going to stop worrying about it. It's just THERE, but it is indeed...ODD
I'm using the paid version, no subscription model.
I just started a new project, pulled my favorites and noticed: no playback possible in my timeline. At some point the "subscribe to edit" button appeared, now it's gone. Still i can't play anything in my timeline.
Older projects also won't work anymore.
Playing clips in the viewer just work fine but not in the timeline.
What is odd: When i play the clip in the viewer it works just fine, when i click on the play button under the program monitor my timeline also plays. but when i click INTO the timeline for playback nothing works anymore.
Anyone else having these troubles?
I've never seen that button before. That's really interesting.
Does it appear if you have FCP set up normally on one monitor?
Mysterious, indeed.
Could it be connected to some third party plugin you have installed?
Maybe a trial one?
I don't think a third party could place that button into FCP's GUI. That's just odd.
Ben, I fully agree it is odd, especially since it doesn’t actually DO anything.
My AI searches have produced some conflicting statements. ☹️
Nope, I have checked 3 Macs with stand alone FCP 12, none have any access what so ever to the subscription's extra content.
What does 'Subscribe to Edit' mean in Final Cut Pro 12?
