Does the video play in the QuickTime player?

It looks like you are using a third party plugin. It might need to be reinstalled or updated. Maybe it was removed when there was an system out application update, though you said it started in the previous FCP version. Something changed or moved.

From what I can work out the problem doesn't happen when I have them on my macs HDD but happens if they are on an external HDD I'm using solid-state drives. If I move into a new library that's on the SSD plugin problems occurs. If I move them to a library on my Mac no problem and if I move them from the mac,s HDD to the SSD it doesn't happen.

What happens? The application crashes? You get an error message? What error message? You see something else? Please post screenshots. Open the media file in the QuickTIme and post a screenshot of the full inspector window.

What OS and FCP version is this? (There's no macOS 13.)
