Installing Third-Party Easy Setups and Presets

Final Cut Pro places several preset files on your hard disk during installation. If you
remove any of these presets from their original location, you can use them again by
simply placing them back in the correct folder. If you deleted these presets, you can
reinstall them by reinstalling the Final Cut Pro software from the Final Cut Pro installer
disc. Third-party hardware and software manufacturers may also create presets for you
to use with Final Cut Pro.

To install third-party preset files or use preset files that you’ve moved:

m

Drag the desired preset files to the following folder:

/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Custom Settings

The next time you launch Final Cut Pro, the presets will be available in the Audio/Video
Settings window.

Loading Easy Setups Over a Network

Each time Final Cut Pro is opened, it searches any computers on your local area
network for Easy Setups and plug-ins. If any Easy Setups are found, they appear in the
Setup For pop-up menu in the Easy Setup dialog.
