Hi everyone,
I have Final Cut Pro X 10.4.10 and installed the Canon Raw Light plugin version 2.3
Restarted the computer
Final Cut won't let me import the files, it has a greyed out circle with line through it, if i try to drag the .crm files onto the timeline.
They were shot on my Canon R5 as 8k c-log3 Canon Raw Light files.
I checked and I can open them in Premier but I prefer to use FCPX. Any ideas anyone?
Thank you!
As Tom said, when doing an OS upgrade (not a point release update) it's best to do a clean wipe and only migrate Users from a backup, then download and reinstall apps from the developer. It can be painful, but doing the upgrade in place might be the cause of the strange issues you're seeing.
You could try deleting the plugin, moving FCP to the trash (don't empty it), then logging into the AppStore and re-downloading FCP. See if it launches properly, and if so, try installing the Canon plugin again.
If that still doesn't work, post an EtreCheck report https://etrecheck.com giving the application full disk access from System Preferences. When it finishes the scan, click Share Report, and when it's done click Copy Report. Then paste into the Additional text box here in your reply.

HI everyone, I just wanted to post how this was resolved, for people finding this thread in the future. I uninstalled FCPX again and reinstalled and it worked for some reason. Unsatisfying fix, but it appears to work now. Thanks everyone for their help.
Make sure the application has Full Disk Access in Privacy System Preferences.
Well that's a step in the right direction.
Looks like a fair amount of cruft is on your system. My guess is you've always upgraded in place instead of starting fresh.
You have Silverlight installed. Super old and at end of life.
You have Chrome and it's terrible keystone daemons installed. This can cause issues with ProApps. Completely uninstall Chrome and the keystone daemons by following the instructions at https://chromeisbad.com
An invisible dot file running in /tmp? That looks super suspicious to me:
.p7VBM3lU 1005 KB / 2 MB (? - /tmp)
You have malware protection disabled. I'd turn that on but I don't know if that will cure an existing malware problem if there is one.
You also have several drives connected. I'd remove them to reduce the complexity while testing and uninstalling.
If it were me, I'd back up to Time Machine (you don't appear to have backups enabled) or Carbon Copy Cloner or something like that, and do a clean install of Big Sur, migrate only the Users (no Applications) from the backup, then re-download your apps from the developers.
Just to be certain, FCP is checked in the Full Disk Access, correct? (Mine shows a version number because I rename and keep previous versions around.)
As a Tweet said try posting an EtreCheck report with full disk access. There may be something on the system. A clean install may be necessary.
Luis Sequeira1 has written up a nice check list for doing clean installs, but I can't find a current one. The search options on this discussion board are really terrible.

Ok so I uninstalled the plugin, deleted FCPX (but didnt empty the bin), reinstalled FCPX (it opened fine), installed the plugin (and it also opens fine!)
But!
the same behaviour is happening where the .crm files can't be dragged into FCPX or imported either.
Hi,
Ok so a clean install I'm sure will clear some of these issues. I do manually backup to several HDDs just so you know.
I've gotten rid of silverlink and I'll get rid of chrome daeomons as you suggest.
One thing though I'm curious about is this invisible dot file. I've opened Little Snitch and it looks like this. There's 2 different ones, here is a screen grab of one of them. I have restarted and its not come back - well it's not near the top of the list anymore. Does it look suspicious still?
Thank you!
Ah yes good shout. So i found it and deleted it, and reinstalled Canon Raw Plugin v2.3
But now I can't open FCPX. it says: You do not have permission to open the application “Final Cut Pro”.
I've done that and restarted but i still get the same error message. It doesn't happen on any other program as far as I can tell, and only started happening after installing the canon raw plugin.
Yep, it's checked.
Thanks I've just posted it above
Thanks so much for the tips. I'm going to hit the hay (2:30am here) and pick this up tomorrow and follow those steps. Hmm, invisible dot file doesn't sound good!
yes i've never done a clean install!
Good luck! Keep us posted on your progress.
