Final Cut Preference Trash Utility

[Nathan Beaman]

Was bored last night and made a little app that finds and trashes your Final Cut Preferences, so that when you open the program it resets, almost as if its the first time you opened it.
I call it Final Reset. It's here and it's a freebie if you want it!

I'm sure this is a good app, but there's actually one that's been around for quite a while
http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
and is specific to whichever version you have 4, 5, or 6
I guess people just have a choice of icons now

This one works with all FCP. It doesn't do anything else though, like fcprescue or fcp attic. Just a simple script to dump your preferences.

I also didn't realize that fcp rescue was free though! that's cool!

It's my understanding that all FCP rescue does is trash your preferences.

It also has a save feature for your preferences so you can go back to the settings before the dump in case that actually made it worse.
