  • Open in editor opens only compressor?

    Posted by Richard Pengelly on October 2, 2010 at 5:27 pm

    When I right click and select open in editor it opens everything in compressor? Livetype files and Motion files?

    I am sure it is some pesky setting I have over looked.

    Any Ideas?

    What open in editor opens is set in the user preferences. Can’t imagine though why a Motion project would open in Compressor. If never heard of that happening.

    All the best,

    It happened to me too. Simplest solution is to locate that file in Finder, Get Info (CMD+I) and change “Open With…” to whatever you fancy.

    The user preference in FCP will override that.

    All the best,
