FCP X Help Viewer empty
Hi,
The Final Cut Pro X Help viewer is mostly empty. Of all the topics displayed in the TOC, strangely the only one that displays content is Keyboard shortcuts and gestures > Overview. It's the last first-level topic before Glossary. Go figure. 😕
I was using FCP X, along with the FCP X Help Viewer, all morning. FCP X then crashed. I relaunched the app, but when I went back to using the Help Viewer, the FCP X content was gone. The FCP X Help TOC is visible, but clicking on any of the topics displays, "The selected topic is currently unavailable. To see all Final Cut Pro Help, you must be connected to the Internet." I am undoubtedly connected to the Internet.
I am able to select the Home icon in the Help Viewer app, and select help for a different application (iMovie '11 Help, for example), and it works fine. It seems that the FCP X crash wiped out the help file. Is that possible?
I also tried accessing help directly from the Help menu item from within FCP X; for example, typing 'transition' in the search field shows one Menu Item and several Help Topics. Selecting the first help topic, Create split edits, yields an empty Help Viewer page.
I've deleted the various com.apple.help* files, to no avail. I've also followed the Help Viewer reset procedures in The X Lab website, which everyone seems to reference when it comes to Help Viewer issues.
I also dug around in the Final Cut Pro X application bundle file. In /Contents/Resources, there is the FinalCutPro10.help file. It's a total of 1.1MB. I poked around in there and I can't find any 'help' files. I would think the entire FCP X help system is larger than 1.1MB, although I think it downloads its content from the Internet, so its size doesn't matter I suppose.
Um...Help (Viewer)?
