I've been having problems exporting a large sequence of a large project so I decided to make a new copy of the project file. When I play the new copied sequence, a loud voice says "final cut pro has new window" or something like that. Anybody ever hear that?

Check to see if you turned VoiceOver on by accident.

Oops. I just figured out the computer's menus became audible because it's giving me audio messages for everything. I guess there's an option somewhere. I'll look for it and shut it off.

thanks

Yeah, that would be VoiceOver. I think it's under the "universal access" prefs pane, but search your computer's help for it if you have trouble finding it.

The shortcut for turning it off involves a modifier and F5. I mapped a shortcut in Logic to another modifier and F5 and kept on turning Voiceover on when I mashed the wrong keys.

The blind or people with very poor eyesight.

Or people who like the idea of the computer speaking to them because they are lonely or just ever-so-slight odd.

Notice that the Universal Access menu is done up in huge letters. Certainly it's for the vision impaired.

It's Cmd+F5. Definitely scary!
