FCP help: viewer all white!	Can't Post

I used started editing on the MacBook and snce I suck at it, I often toggle something I didn't mean to.
Just now I hit something and the viewer is completely white and when I scrub thru, it shows a little black "x" in the upper right corner. I cant figure out how to get the video to show. When I put it in the timeline it shows.
What did I do and how do I fix it!??!
Thanks
Kat

I'm not sure exactly what you're seeing, but a quick fix is to trash your preferences. This essentially returns FCP back to all the default settings:

Your mission is to take your place at the table, pick up your fork, and eat your pie. Do not look to the left and do not look to the right. Just eat your pie. There is plenty of pie for everyone."

Hey Kat,

The short cut is shift+W. I spent about 30 mins on it the first time I hit it. Glad you figured it out. You can customize the keyboard layout and remap that command. It is too close to shift+E for me!
