Create a project called Favourites and drag them there. Save that project. Whenever you rebuild FCP or trash your preferences you can drag them from the project to the favourites folder.
They are stored in Preferences but I don't think you can extract them from there. You can use Preference Manager to keep multiple sets of preferences and back them up and do all sorts of neat tricks, like have a different scratch disk per project. Worth it if you work in many projects at once [www.digitalrebellion.com] ak Sleeplings, AWAKE!

Effects that have specific parameters can be saved by dragging them into an actual bin in a project file instead of the Favorites bin. Once there, those effects and their parameters are saved as part of the project file and are not subject to change by deleting preferences. So store them in an actual project file. Copy them to the Favorites bin when you need. Even better, just copy the whole effects bin into a project when you first start it. Project bins are also far more versatile; for example, they can store actual video objects (eg. a Title3D card with specific fonts and layouts, a Slug with video filters applied on it); the Favorites bin can't. That's why I almost never use it except when I make Motion Paths (which have to go into Favorites first). www.derekmok.com
