UserMatic
Encourages and facilitates experimentation in the thousands of ways Final Cut Pro can be customized. It leverages the editor’s time and creativity — by enabling creation of multiple preset “profiles” of FCP preferences/configurations … and providing for rollback points, easier troubleshooting, profiles for multiple users, and even accessing by the same user(s) from multiple FCP workstations over SAN.
- The ability to Save and then Load any of an unlimited number of FCP “profiles” each one containing an entire set of user customizations for Final Cut Pro.
- One-button Backup: of that entire library of profiles into a single date/timestamped .ZIP file, for archiving, or transporting to another machine.
- Networking/SAN capability built-in. Simply pointing UserMatic to a network drive allows for direct access to the same library of Profiles from multiple FCP workstations, across potentially any network (LAN / SAN / WAN / VPN).
- “Safety net” feature: Overwritten & deleted preferences are actually stored away in ‘Deleted’ folder, for future recovery if ever needed.
- Trash button: reverts FCP back to its factory defaults.
- Minor user interface tweaks.
- Minor bug fixes re: online registration.
- Updated documentation: incl. new Quick Start guide.
- Mac OS X 10.3 or later
- Final Cut Pro
This app is truly amazing and worth every cent. Especially useful if you're a freelancer that moves around a lot. Just install Usermatic on any system, load your profile and it calls up all your settings, thus eliminating set-up time. Try it!
