Thanks Bret for reply – can you believe it, been through so much and nothing makes this work as it used to – tried saving the file in LT, closed LT, it updated in FCPHD, did a right click on the clip in timeline, it again opened it up in a new pop up window as described in first message.
Still not opening LT file up in LT from FCP HD timeline! Tried repairing permissions – no change. I’d hate to have to replace manually all LT files (as you rightly suggested) since FCP HD is supposed to reconnect and open these LT files appropriately, if correct external editor is chosen.
What else?
