I can no longer see Master File in my destination options

Since the most recent update of FCPX I can no longer see the option to export to Master File - it does not appear as an option in destinations.   I cannot find any information on this - can anyone assist me.  

Welcome to the forums!

First thing you can try is to delete your FCP preferences: quit FCP and launch it again while holding de Option + Command Kays pressed down. You will get a message asking if you want to delete your preferences. Confirm and let FCP open. Check if you have your Master File destination back.

Thanks Ronny - I had tried that - but I have since done it again to no effect. I uninstalled the program and downloaded it an did a fresh install and the problem is still there. No access or option to output to Master File. Any other suggestions?

Export File is the same as Master File. You are not missing anything, it's just a different name for the same thing.

This thread explains why you can see a different name:

But it really doesn't matter, it's the same function.

All Apple does is put the "Export File" into the left-hand column and rename it "Master File".

Thanks to you both! That was helpful.
