Hello everyone Im having terrible problems with Final Cut Pro Crashing in the public release of Catalina every single time on launch!
It just won't open. Has anyone else experienced this, or does any one have any ideas or ways to fix this?
Thanks in anticipation

Open its windows? Can you please post a screenshot of this? It should ask you if you want to trash the preferences. Yes, you want to trash the preferences. You have to reset the application before you can attempt to do anything else.
Are you holding Option-Command as you launch the application? Post a screenshot of the dialogue you get after that. If it crashes when trashing prefs, you probably need to do a system diagnostic and reinstall the OS from the recovery position.
Yes I am holding down Option Command and have also tried Digital Rebellions tools Housekeeper and Preference Manager to give it a comprehensive clean of flexo caches, font issues, saved states etc and nether seem to have any effect. It just won't grab hold. and then the only dialogue is of course the Apple report.
This is what happens but not always on the trashing of preferences which I've tried at least three times now
First reset your preferences. Hold Opt-Cmd s you launch the application. Does it launch to the default state?
It does ask me if I want to trash them as you've pointed out, but then immediately Crashes
