The quickest and simplest thing to try when FCP isn't behaving properly is to delete its preferences. Hold option and command while launching FCP and choose Delete Preferences... It will open the default Untitled library. Re-open the library you were working on, set the prefs back to the way you like, then see if the problem is resolved.


You have Clean My Mac installed which many here consider to be malware for the ProApps. It's possible that it's damaged FCP or worse, it's damaged your system. You can try uninstalling it, then trashing FCP and reinstalling a fresh copy to see if there's any improvement.


Are you running FCP Trial or FCP?


I see you have Chrome installed, but don't see the keystone daemons and agents listed, which is good because they are known causes of problems with the ProApps. Interesting because in all the Etrecheck reports I've seen with Chrome, the keystone culprits are always listed. For more info and how to completely remove Chrome, see https://chromeisbad.com
