    you will make other mistakes in the process of learning FCP.
    One easy way of getting back to point zero is to simply close your project, and open up a new project. If it still doesn’t work, close FCP, and TRASH your FCP preferences. This will restore FCP to its default configuration, like when it was first installed.

    sounds a bit like you are “presenting” your video to the desktop.

    Apple F12 will toggle that on AND off.
    (and look under your View Menu for that, too…. not to mention the manual)

    am i having déjà vu or did i just answer this???
    must have bee another forum…
