Overheat when using Final Cut Pro

I can only work on Final Cut Pro for about 3-5 minutes before my MacBook Pro overheats and software stops working!

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) Catalina

Processor: 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

Memory: 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB

Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

$4,000 computer unusable?!
