Q: final cut pro x suddenly won't play, freezes
Everything was fine this morning. I was putting in a FCP sound effect and tried to play and it froze. I rebooted, took the effect out, but it is still freezing when trying to play.
I notice when rebooting this message came up which I haven't seen before: "The operation couldn’t be completed. One or more projects or Events were created with a newer version of Final Cut Pro X. These projects and Events will be ignored. "
That may be another issue.
I have FCPx 10.0.3 and again, everything was working last night!

.mp3 audio is almost certainly the cause of it. It's too highly compressed for video editing software.
Use Compressor, MPEG Streamclip or iTunes to convert the .mp3 files to .aiff.
Make sure they are 48kHz too.
