Final Cut Pro hangs while validating audio units

I totally agree. I rarely use FCP because of this issue. Any time I think, oh let's edit some video, I remember how FCP will not open without me digging into my plugins and deleting all the hangs ups from the validation process. It could take an hour to get it to open. Then I just give up and try and use some other tool.

This has been a problem since time began. I have 800 or so audio plugs and I NEVER EVER use them in FCP. I always bring in final audio to FCP, so I do not need these audio plugins. It is beyond frustrating that Apple does not care about this issue.

Let us bypass this process that hobbles FCP.

Waow crap !!!

Same for me and doesn't work even I delete the components...

My FCPX is useful : don't know what to do...

Yes but even it move it away, FCPX is still trying ton open it

Apk

Thx I’ll try these and get back to you ;)

Specifically, this process is freezing on every boot of the software: com.apple.audio.InfoHelper

This has been triggered by the latest Ventura update.

Sorry. 13.3 wasn’t released until March 23. I don’t believe the problem was in 13.3. The first reports didn’t start until the 13.3.1 security update.

Which Apple AUs?

I have the same problem. Is there a way to launch Final Cut Pro to ignore plug-ins?

Same issue. It's really frustrating.

Rename the folder to something else, like Components.ignore

From memory I can't remember if tools still uses just aax and not au at all .. that would be a workaround not for logic though

You should be able to open and operate FCP and all the other apps that are in your existing Applications folder from the new volume without any need to reinstall them. (Mac HD>Applications)
