Final Cut Pro X 10.6.1 (as of 15th Feb 2022) keeps crashing upon opening on my MacBook Pro 2017 15" (macOS Monterey 12.2.1 (21D62) ) (Invalid libcrypto dylib)

Hi guys,

As the title suggest, my FCP (surprisingly just my FCP X) keeps crashing upon opening. Haven't even reached the opening screen.

Probably got to do with the following reason:

Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Application Specific Information:

abort() called

Invalid dylib load. Clients should not load the unversioned libcrypto

dylib as it does not have a stable ABI.

I've attached my Etrecheck report in this question.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)

Monterey 12.2.1 (As of 15th Feb 2022)

Any suggestions, from reinstalling to any other ways would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank youuu :)

Honestly, I think you should completely rebuild this system. There is software from the early part of the century that doesn’t even work anymore. That’s some LaCie that I have no idea what it’s doing. And there’s the dreaded keystone launch daemons. You’ve apparently been updating systems on top of each other for years. I would recommend you back up your system with Time Machine or a clone. Wipe the system drive. Reinstall the OS and migrate only the users, nothing else, no applications, no settings. Then install the applications you need and are using. No plugins until you verify the applications work, and do not install Chrome or any antivirus software.

I completely agree with Tom. This system is a mess and a clean install is recommended.

You could try installing a clean system on an external SSD. That would get you working quickly until get around to a clean reinstall on the main drive.

These are crash reports. These are unusable except to engineering. Please generate a standard EtreCheck system report.

I do see lots of references to plugins which likely need to be updated or reinstalled.

You keep posting something that starts with Etrecheck but appears to contain a crash log.

Run Etrecheck again, have it produce its report, then click Share Report->Copy Report, and post it here. If this is what you have been doing already then perhaps Etrecheck itself is failing on your machine, but that is most unexpected.

Not sure how you generated and copied the EtreCheck report but it’s mostly a crash log and the system configuration information is unreadable.

There is a copy button in the EtreCheck report that you can use which might help.

I see.

Is there a way to make it 'readable' again?

A little more context:

When I just updated to Monterey, I could open my FCP on my first few tries.

Now, this happens.

I have attached the EtreCheck report in this message.

Thanks Tom! :)

Hi Tom,

Thank you so much for the help. I understand what you've suggested to me would be the best, clean slated solution for it.

But, because this is my office's work laptop, I don't think I can do much other than reinstalling or try other simpler solutions that doesn't involve overhauling the device. And I'll be honest, I only use 20-30% of the apps such as Adobe, FCP, & video players & converters.

Till this day, I'm not sure why the FCP worked before for a short while with Monterey before it keeps crashing.

Is there an alternative solution - aside from reinstalling - that I can try that /may/ work?

Again, really appreciate the help.

Thanks Tom!

I see. I guess I could try that.

Also, upon some searching, I saw that it's recommended to do a Brew installation too? Will that help as well?

I have read that there were such problems with the "wrong" version of libcrypto, but I do not have an M1 mac, and I have not looked into this matter; the fix proposed seemed like it might work, but I cannot vouch for it, not knowing enough about it.

While we are on the topic of plugins, I do see most of them have been expired as they were only trials used by the previous employees. Is there a way to remove them instead?

Thanks Tom
