VTDecoderXPCservice taking up too much space on Final Cut Pro

Hello. I have seen one or two other people with similar issues but have yet to find a solution. I am using Final Cut Pro and have been for a long time now. I have a 14 inch Apple M1 Pro. I have not had any issues with the computer until the last week. Now when I am trying to export a 25 minute long 4K video VTDecoderXPCservice on activity monitor will go from 50-80gb and ultimately shut down the upload because I get an error message saying "your system has run out of application memory". I have no other apps open during export as well. I have uploaded many 4k videos in the past that are at least this long and have never had this issue. In the past FCP will take 2-5 gb and VTDecoderXPCservice will take 2-4 gb throughout the entire export. All of my apps and computer are fully updated. I use videos in my edits from a Sony A7 IV, Go Pro 10, and iPhone.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4

You have both Chrome and CleanMyMac installed. At a minimum both Chrome and CMM need to be completely uninstalled. You should then download a new copy of FCP. Because of CMM it's likely you might need to do a clean install of the system.
