Q: Untitled Library ALWAYS opens or gets created when opening FCPX

Everytime this happens and it is extremely annoying and frustrating because I have to go and delete it everytime. Why does Final Cut keep creating this empty Untitled library and how can I stop it from doing so.

 

P.S GIVE US COLOR CURVES! FCP IS NOT EVEN A PRO EDITING SUITE ANYMORE.

 

Thanks,

Eric.

    There is something wrong with your setup. An Untitled project is only created when the preferences are reset. It sounds as if the preferences are not being saved. This is faulty OS behavior, which I cannot explain.

     

    Don't delete the Untitled project. Just leave it in the Movies folder. Every time the preferences are reset it will simply open the existing Untitled library.

    C'mon man. No version of FCP has ever had color curves since 1999. Plugins have added curves to FCP in past as they do now.

    FCPX lacks so many features but anyways, how should I fix this? I have already re-installed the OS. Should I re-install FCPX. I have CC, so I think I might just dump FCPX because it lacks so much and the only pro for it is the price.

    If the price is too steep for you compared to the monthly vig on CC, then I suggest you use the application you're more comfortable with an move on.

    No, I am saying the price of FCPX is amazing compared to CC. Granted, CC offers 100x as much as FCPX does. Regardless, I would just like to resolve my issue with FCPX libraries/media management.
