User level: Level 1 (44 points)Latest version of FCP on Mac Tahoe 26.6.2 (25G83). When FCP opens, it overlays a blue panel "Create Library" that hides my list of Projects. I can't get rid of it. What to do?
thanks,
Geoff

The first step in troubleshooting Final Cut when it misbehaves is to delete the FCP preferences. Hold OPTION and CMD when you restart FCP. The cleans up the possibly corrupted preferences and may fix this.

This blue "Create Library" should only appear when you have no library open in FCP.
If you do have a library open, and it still shows, then deleting preferences, as Old_Video_Guy wrote, should fix the issue.
But perhaps you have no library open... sorry if this is too obvious, but sometimes it's the obvious things...
