I'm not seeing the clip names under the thumbnails in my FCP Browser when using filmstrip view. How do I display the clip names?
I've been trying to figure it out and doing searches for 30 minutes with no luck. I'm attaching an image with a couple of the clip names circled in yellow to show what I'm talking about. (There is nothing under the filmstrip thumbnails in my Browser window.)
Thanks!

Start by trashing your preferences. Hold ⌥ ⌘ as you double click the library you want to open to launch the application. A dialog appears asking you if you want to Delete Preferences. If you don't do this while double-clicking your library, the application will open a default Untitled library.

That is an image from Apple's website showing the filmstrip view. I'm attaching two screenshots showing what I'm seeing in my Browser, one in filmstrip view and one in list view. I see the same lack of a name under the clip in filmstrip view regardless of whether I have one clip or multiple clips, and no matter what camera the clips are from. I seem to remember having this problem once years ago, but I cannot remember or find how to fix it.
Thank you! That seems to have fixed it. I tried two libraries (the one I did your "hold ⌥ ⌘ as you double click the library" with and another one I just double-clicked on) and now the titles show under the clips in filmstrip view.
Exactly what did this do, though? Have I lost other settings in FCP now by doing this? And do you know why I was experiencing this problem to begin with? Had I somehow caused the clip names to disappear? Thanks
It reset the FCP preferences to their default state. Check through them to see if you need to change some items. You might want to switch off background rendering for instance.
The problem might be caused by a crash or force quit or even by a software conflict.
What’s this an image of? Can you post what you’re seeing in the browser?
