Final Cut Pro is Apple's professional non-linear video-editing application for macOS and earlier versions of Mac OS X. The .fcp format is associated with older editions of the application.
An .fcp project is a binary file containing the edit and timeline information for a production. This can include timecode information, clip in and out points, size, crop and position settings, nested compositions, filter settings and automation data.
The project normally refers to the source media used by the edit rather than containing all of that media itself. The format is no longer the project format used by current versions of Final Cut Pro, which organize projects in library packages.
Open the file with the version of Final Cut Pro that created it, or with a compatible legacy version of Final Cut Pro on macOS or Mac OS X. The project may also require access to its original source media.
Current versions of Final Cut Pro do not directly use legacy .fcp project files, so an older compatible installation may be needed.
An .fcp project is not normally converted with a general-purpose file converter. Open it in a compatible version of Final Cut Pro and export the completed timeline to a finished video or audio format.
If the editable project must be transferred, use the export or interchange options available in the compatible Final Cut Pro version. The required source media must remain available for the project to render correctly.

The fcp file extension is used for files associated with the FirstClass client protocol. FirstClass is groupware software that provides email, online conferencing, voice and fax services, and bulletin-board functions.
These files support communication between the FirstClass client and server. Their contents are specific to FirstClass rather than being designed for exchange with other applications. FirstClass software has been available for Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and Linux; this record is associated with the Windows version of FirstClass Unified Communications.
Open an fcp file with the FirstClass client that uses it. On Microsoft Windows, use FirstClass Unified Communications.
There is no known general-purpose application for opening these files independently of FirstClass.
No known converter can reliably convert an fcp file to another format. It is a FirstClass protocol file rather than a user document, so it normally has no meaningful standalone export format.
