Since updating my production Mac to Mountain Lion a few weeks back, I have noticed the videos I have exported from Final Cut were some what fuzzy and slightly pixelated. After carefully checking and rechecking setting preferences, I decided to take another approach and reset/delete the user preference files.
To reset your Final Cut Pro 7 user preferences to their original state, do the following:
- In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
- Remove the “com.apple.finalcutpro.plist” file from the Preferences folder.
- Remove the “Final Cut Pro User Data” folder from the Preferences folder.
