    Want to open new fcp project from fcp icon in dock. Normally if I click on the icon, I open an existing project. Is there some combination of keys that will open a fresh project?
    Thank you.

    You can set in preferences to open new project or last project opened. Take a look around in there for lots of other goodies too, like duration of imported still images and number of undos…

    Something you can do as well:
    Create an empty project within FCP and do your settings. Save it. In Finder select it, hit cmd-i and select Stationary Pad in the info window. Now drag that file to the dock if you want.

    If you click it FCP will open a copy of that file. That way you can can have multiple fresh projects.

    Close your current project BEFORE quitting Final Cut. When you next launch it, it will start up with a new project ready to go.
