Sounds not playing in Sound Effect panel and plugins won't load
Hi everyone - When I click on the Sound Effects panel, all the sounds effects appear, but if I click on the Play button, nothing happens. If I ctr-click a sound, the Reveal in Finder option is greyed out. If I drag the sound from the panel into the timeline, it works (but you can imagine how long it takes when I'm looking for the perfect sound...). I've posted a screen capture below.
I also have a second problem that looks like it could be related. My Pixel Film Studios effects have stopped working. They show up in the Generators list, and when I click on one, I see the all the preview icons. However, as soon as I pick one, I get a screen that shows a warning icon. And what's weird is that all the settings are showing up (see second screen capture), but all I get is a screen showing a warning icon and a large number 2.
It could be that these problems are not related, but they started exactly at the same time.
Also, I've already tried every solution I could find online: restart my computer, reset NVRAM, switch account, reset FCPX preferences, remove and reinstall FCPX, etc. I've also removed, reinstalled and upgraded my plugins.
Anyone ever encountered one of these issues (and hopefully have a solution)?
I'm running Catalina 10.15.6 and FCPX 10.4.9.
Thanks.
