Kernel panics after 13.4 update and FCP

I just updated to Ventura 13.4 on my MBP. After the restart, every time I launch Final Cut Pro, I get a kernel panic. (One such log attached.) I have no idea what to do. Help!

I wanted to follow up on this thread for completeness. I was able to solve the problem by disabling all audio plug-ins (by going to Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components, and renaming the Components folder so that FCP couldn't see it). Then the kernel panics stopped.

I was not able to identify which plug-in might be causing it. This could be done when I have the time, by removing plug-ins a handful at a time, until I find out which plug-in causes it. I don't have time to do that right now. But I thought I would leave this thread here so that future users of FCP would think to try this if they have the same problem.
