Step 2. Create association of Pinnacle Hollywood FX with HFO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HFO file to open in the Pinnacle Hollywood FX application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pinnacle Hollywood FX application as the default for handling the HFO file.

This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Avid Technology, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HFO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The HFO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HFO file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HFO file. However, remember that not every infected HFO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HFO file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HFO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Avid Technology, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HFO except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move HFO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HFO to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HFO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
