fcp 7 rendering and exporting very slowly in el capitan
Since installing El Capitan, my final cut pro 7 is running very slowly. Any suggestions on how to speed things up? I can't find where to trash preferences and cache.

FCP 7 isn't supported on El Capitan. It's last fully supported OS was 10.6.8...as it was discontinued 5 years ago. Every new OS update goes further away from full functionality. I have it running on 10.9.5, but Motion and Compressor and Qmaster no longer work. I won't install it on any OS after that as I know many things won't work with it. I also have a MacPro tower running 10.6.8 in order to have full capabilities.
If you need FCP 7 to earn a living...if you need it to work properly, best not to go beyond the OS that it was designed to work under. Every OS version after it doesn't take it working into consideration.
