Final Cut Pro 10.4.5 not working with new Mojave Update 10.14.3

Final Cut Pro is not working with the recent Mojave update. It freezes up after a few seconds of use and then my whole system slows down. I have to force quit final cut every time and restart my MacBook. My final cut pro was working fine for the first Mojave update, then with the most recent it's not.


It's a relatively new MacBook and I didn't use the backup time machine. Will there be a new Mojave update or is there a way to remove Mojave and go back to Sierra? I can't do my work anymore. Please let me know. Thank you.

MacBook Pro 13", 10.14

I was having this problem too and it was driving me nuts. I reinstalled the operating system reinstalled final cut went back to the older version and 10.3 was working well but wouldn’t open my newest project I did find a workaround it looks like they fixed this issue and 10.14.4 so I joined the beta program and now it fixed Final Cut 10.4.5 with 3rd party plug ins and freezing. Hope this helps

Rather than wait for an update to solve an issue that is not widespread, try the usual things first. Delete preferences, run from an admin user as Tom said.

If it still happens then run the diagnostic tool Etrecheck and post its report here.

It if iwere “popular” bug there would have been an outcry. So far I have only seen two people with the problem- and it is not at all clear it is the same problem or same cause in both cases.

There’s probably something in your system that’s doing this, probably a third party function. If the application is crashing you should reset prefs every time. There may be something in the media or the drives that’s causing the crashing, especially if it freezes or stalls and has to be force quit. I’m assuming it’s only the application and not the system.
