Corrections to Final Cut Pro Documentation
The following information covers corrections and updates to the documentation
included with Final Cut Pro 5.
Loading Final Cut Pro Settings and Plug-ins from a Network Server
In the Final Cut Pro 5 User Manual (Volume IV, pages 304, 311, and 313) and in the New
Features document, the feature that allows Final Cut Pro to load settings from a
network server is described inaccurately.
Each time Final Cut Pro is opened, it checks two local directories for Easy Setups,
plug-ins, window and keyboard layouts, button bars, and so on. The local directories
that Final Cut Pro checks are:
 /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/
 /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Settings/
In addition, Final Cut Pro can also check the directory path /Network/Library/
Application Support/Final Cut Pro/ for additional settings and plug-ins. This directory
path is accessible if:
 Your computer is connected to a server using Mac OS X Server software
 Your system administrator has properly configured the accounts within your local
network so that your computer has access to the directory /Network/Library/
Application Support/Final Cut Pro/
For more information about setting up accounts within your local network, contact
your system administrator or see the documentation included with the Mac OS X
Server software.
