Final Cut Pro X Slows Down While Zoom Recording Editing

Hi,


My Final Cut Pro X slows down when I try to edit Zoom meeting recordings. Is there any logical reason? (Maybe it is about the zoom recording file.) My FCPX works fine if I don't edit zoom recordings.

System specs are added below, zoom recording is around 200MB .mp4 formatted.


By slow down, I mean when I play the video in FCPX, I hear the sound delayed and the video image freezes while moving to next small video. Skimmer is also slow and computer starts to use high CPU and all system slows down.


Yesterday I tried to import Zoom video and then export without editing. Then I used the exported recording and that worked normal. I don't get why raw recording slows the computer down.

Thee's a high probability that this application has hosed your Mac. In all likelihood you will need to do a clean system install. Backup up your system with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner. Go into recovery mode (Cmd-R as you boot your computer). Use Disk Utility to erase the system drive. Reinstall the OS and during installation migrate only users, nothing else, no settings, no applications. Install the apps you need. Don't install Chrome or Flash. Never install CleanMyMac or any similar cleaning, antivirus, or file scanning applications. That's your best chance of getting a good working system again.
