Whenever there is a crash, delete the preferences. To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences. The application will start in a default state, and open an “Untitled” library.

Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.

You have Chrome and its keystone daemons - known bad actors. They hog the system videotoolbox and cause serious problems with FCP and other video applications.
