Final Cut Pro can't import Canon Raw Light files

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.
