Final Cut Pro freezes constantly after every action

Hi!

MacOS Monterey 12.0.1

Final Cut Pro 10.6.1

Preferences cleared (CMD+OPT while starting FCP)


After doing anything in library, adding marker, adding clip on timeline, muting audio on clip, the Final Cut Pro freezes for 4-5 seconds.

I thought it's a bug on disk (because FCP saves every action that we made), so I moved footage and library to second external SSD, and the problem disapeared, but only for a while. After few hours, FPC freezes again on second disk.

It happens only when library is on external drive (Samsung T5 and Samsung T7).

I have a clean library, with one clip on timeline, without any effects and plugins applied.

It's happend on MacBook Pro 13 (2019) Intel, and also on iMac 27 5K (2019)


Looks like a virus or something?

The problem started on previously macOS Big Sur

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Several things stand out from the report.


First of all - you have installed Chrome and its keystone daemons - these wreak havoc on professional applications like FCP.

See https://chromeisbad.com for how this happens and how to uninstall.


You will likely then have to reinstall FCP.


Also: you have a rotating hard drive that is more than 90% full. If this contains media that you are using, it will be an issue.

If it is not being used for editing, consider disconnecting it, and see how things go.

If it is, then this is probably a big cause for the slowdown. Hard drives are slow, and being virtually full severely impairs performance.

I have uninstalled Avast now, but the issue is still there. Maybe it has to do with an update of either my camera or MacOs or Final Cut Pro X.


The issue occurs when working with files from my GoPro HERO 10 (Firmware 1.16) in Final Cut Pro 10.6 and 10.6.1, installed on MacOS 12.01.

It did work with the same resolution files from my GoPro HERO 10 (Firmware 1.15) in Final Cut Pro 10.5.4 and macOS Big Sur.


I know that the Hero 10 is not yet listed in the supported cameras at FCP (https://support.apple.com/de-at/HT204203), however, as stated before, it worked perfectly until the updates. The error seems to not occur when trying video files from other cameras.

@kaicraig, if you're asking how to create proxies:

Create optimized and proxy files in Final Cut Pro - Apple Support


If that doesn't fix the issue, start a new discussion and, as Tom says, post an Etrecheck report from https://etrecheck.com which can provide information about what might be going on. Give the application Full Disk Access in Privacy System Preferences, and use the "Additional text" button at the bottom of the reply box to paste the copied report.

See attached. Note, I read through the history here and removed Chrome and any other Google apps before running Etrecheck but then noticed I failed to remove the Daemons etc. I have since removed those and unfortunately, the issue remains.

Looks like you've been upgrading your macOS in place for many, many years and have accumulated a decade's worth of cruft likely causing a software conflict. I think yours is the longest Etrecheck report I've seen.


It's unclear whether this Etrecheck report was done before you removed the keystone daemons, but they're in the report. You should reinstall FCP after completely removing Chrome and the keystone daemons using the instructions at https://chromeisbad.com


Honestly, the best thing you can do for your machine and sanity is to do a clean install to get rid of all the old cruft. It's possible this still won't solve the GoPro issue but your machine will be much happier. Here are good instructions from another forum member (possibly Luis?):


1) Make a full backup, preferably two: a Time Machine, and a full bootable clone, on a separate drive. You can use the free version of SuperDuper! to make this clone, or perhaps Carbon Copy Cloner.


NOTE: it is important to have more than one backup, since you're about to erase the main drive


2) Erase and install. I advise you to create an installer on a usb stick, to avoid having to install over the internet (slow).


Instructions here: How to create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support  How to create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support


NOTE: to erase, start from the usb installer disk, choose Disk Utility and erase the whole internal drive (not just the volumes inside); choose APFS with GUID Partition Map.


4) Quit Disk Utility and start the installation on the now empty drive


5) When asked if you want to transfer information, choose "From another mac, disk or Time Machine backup", and select the backup you made in step 1.


*** IMPORTANT: Migrate *ONLY* the user accounts (NOT applications, NOT settings, or other files) ***


6) Install any applications you really need, from the App Store or the respective developers' sites.


7) Enjoy your "new" Mac!

Skimming the media isn't very good in FCP, but that's often the case with compressed 4K media. No problem skimming 6K and 8K RED. The slomo 4K GoPro media plays correctly, as does other GoPro media. FCP doesn't lock up for me. I think I have basically the same computer as you.


I would recommend you first test a new admin user and see how that goes. If it still fails I would recommend a clean install of the OS migrating only users. Install FCP and test the application.

Since the blades keep rotating (smoothly) during the "hitch" in the tilt, I would suggest it was the camera stabilization during the tilt that is trying to correct the tilt and stabilize the scene. It held the scene stable as long as it could then released it.

Update: as stated above, the issue of FCP freezing did not occur with files from the GoPro HERO 10 (Firmware 1.15) in Final Cut Pro 10.5.4 and macOS Big Sur. I have now tried to import those "old" video files from the Gopro Hero 10 (Firmware 1.15) into Final Cut Pro 10.6.1, installed on MacOS 12.01. Result: no issue, no freezing! Those files are working! This means that there must be something changed in the Gopro Hero 10 Firmware 1.16, that FCP 10.6. and 10.6.1. can't deal with, at least on my MacBook Pro 2020. I do not believe it's an issue with MacOS 12.0.1 as I can still view and process the files in other programs such as the GoPro Player.

Hello,

I can guarantee, that the freezing problem of FCP doesn't have anything to do with Chrome or GoPro or... This is a bug which -I believe- we all didn't have until now. I have now a Mac Pro Late 2013 and a Mac Pro 2019 here (both with Big Sur). The 2019 one is newly purchased and is since 4-5 days in use. This machine has everything (FCP, Motion etc.) downloaded & clean-installed. And I had at least 7-8 freezes until now (in FCP). This freezing is not a sudden crash -as usual in FCP :)- but something else which Apple has to resolve. (My disks -2 thunderbolt + 1 SATA- are never filled more than ca. 60%. My footage is HD -not compressed 4K- or some .pngs, .jpgs... So there is nothing special in the process. I am using FCP since 7 and I am familiar with the behaviour of the SW. I insist that Apple has to accept that there is a problem with the last upgraded 1-2 versions of FCP or/and the combination of this SW & system upgrades. I had not such problems before.

Sorry for the long message. Thanks ahead for any help.

Thank you for letting me/us know! This feedback is very helpful, at least to me as it confirms, it's an Apple issue!! It can't be a Gopro issue, otherwise it would not work on an older MacOs version. I have tried to explain the issue to Apple. I have written feedback within FCP, have sent them error reports, but I haven't received any feedback. Nothing at all. So I called them. Answer: it must be a Gopro issue. Thank you Apple! So they either did not want to talk about that or they didn't even manage to recreate it and confirm, that this issue exists, after weeks of people reporting about it. They even have the GoPro Hero 10 on their list of supported cameras for FCP and iMovie. If the next version of MacOS or FCP won't fix this issue, I will have to take their old slogan "think different" seriously and get a computer from another manufacturer, that allows me to do my work
