Just updated to macOS Moneterey and FCP 10.6 yesterday. Tried using FCP with it today but the loading screen is super super super super slow!!!!!!
I'm connecting a Sandisk Extreme Pro directly to it.
I'm also using a MBP 16: 2019.
Does anybody else face this problem?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0
So this issue is slowly spreading and more and more people are facing this issue! I'm trying to finish up a project, and the loading time is really killing me!!!!!! UGHHHH! Apple really have to resolve this issue ASAP because it's affecting a lot of people's workflow!
How can we bring this up directly to Apple? I talked to an Apple advisor the other day, but seems like this issue is getting bigger and out of hand and it's affecting a lot of FCP users and their workflow. It's very frustrating not to be able to work properly...
Well I'm glad it is working for you! I am using 10.6.1 and have just completed 10 minutes of multi-cam editing. After two hours of waiting the transcoding is still stuck on 6%, so not right yet as far as I can see.
Here we go for another day of catastrophe!
Can I jump in again and start by saying that I am not using any HDD. All my asset is held on the 2 Gb SSD, which should give max speed?
After my attempt at multi-cam editing last night, the rendering seems to have happened, but I was left with a background task of re-coding which just stuck at 6%. So I went to bed and left it, but this morning still 6% and FCP not responding, so no option but to force quit. Now the FCP (10.6.1) won't load at all.
Looks like I shall be removng FCP and re-installing.
I just need to get on with the job.
I have been editing on non-linear systems for 21 years, and I guess when you have worked with older systems one understands why a system of external HDD is needed. SSD's are fast & looks great when you speed test them.
Real work workflows for me has always been a system of; machine + external RAID = happy editor.
When you export or encode from an internal SSD to that same SSD, where is FCP going to write cache files? I don't think one SSD will give you the bandwidth for both tasks.
There is definitely some type of SSD issue with FCPX! I have a Sabrent rocket 2TB and it keeps ejecting it soon as I try to export any project. Loads fine. Very weird. Doesn't do it to Samsung SSD.
I have 10.6.1.
Thanks for that thought Braam. I do have 2 separate HDD's which I was normally using until I bought this iMac with 2 Tb Fusion drive. After your comments I'll give serious thought to going back to using the HDD
Same problems. Monterey, slow project load and very sluggish clip navigation, beach balling consistently but OK with timeline content and OK when working with a loaded clip! Feels like a GUI/DB issue.
More often than not, problems after an upgrade of the OS can be caused by old stuff that does not play nice with the new OS.
You may want to run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
And if you have Chrome, antivirus or "cleaners" on this mac, they are the worst enemies of a sane mac, and especially of professional applications like FCP.
Opening libraries and events are also very sluggish and SLOW!! It's super irritating when you wanna get work done.
Exactly the same here. All library loading times went up crazy. 15 Minutes and more. Before it was 30 seconds.
If I find time I ll try to completely reinstall FCP, maybe this might help. Though its a bummer!
Didn´t work here too. Would be happy if this can be fixed fast.
Rolled back Big sur 11.6.1 ! Now everything is working flawlesly. Dont upgrade to Monterey (not yet)
I tried reinstalling FCP. same issue exist.
FCP 10.6 macOS Monterey SLOW & NOT RESPONDING!
