Final Cut's Corrupted Preferences

A client called me in a panic the other day telling me that there was no way to create a new project. The Key command didn't work and there was no choice to create one in the menu. After bantering back and forth for a while to make sure we were talking about the same thing I had them send me a screenshot of their File Menu and this is what I saw.



Running FCPRescue (trashing it's prefs) fixed it, but this is just another example of the weirdness that can happen with corrupted FCP prefs.
