    Hi guys, I’ve been using FCP for a long time. I feel a little dumb for not knowing how to do this so be gentle on me. I somehow changed the default application to open FCP to adobe reader. Which, obviously, can’t open a FCP file. How do I change the default program back to FCP?

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Select an FCP project and press Cmd-I for get info. There’s a panel where you can set what application to open it with and a checkbox for all similar applications.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Hi Rian,
    Clic any FC project file and Com-I to open the Info window.
    In “Open with..” select Final Cut.
    Then click “Change all”.

    Just a bit of a random shout out here, but there’s a little preference pane called ‘default apps’ which is useful for things like this sometime:

    Even though I know the Cmd+I thing, it’s sometimes nice to have control over all extensions…
