Since Final Cut Pro 10.0.0, there has been some secret debug preferences, that are not user accessible.
In earlier versions of Final Cut Pro there were a couple of different debug preferences, however as of 10.4.4, there's only one.
You can explore these debug preferences by following these steps:
- Make a duplicate of your Final Cut Pro application for safety.
- Right click on the Final Cut Pro application bundle and select "Show Package Contents".
- Navigate to "Contents > Resources > en.lproj" (assuming your system is set to English).
- Rename
PEAppGeneralPreferencesModule.nib
toPEAppGeneralPreferencesModule ORIGINAL.nib
. - Duplicate
PEAppUserPreferencesModule.nib
. - Rename the duplicate of
PEAppUserPreferencesModule.nib
toPEAppGeneralPreferencesModule.nib
. - Now when you start Final Cut Pro, instead of the "General" Preferences, you'll see the hidden "User" Preferences.
