FCPX compound clips with RED DEATH symbol

After restarting my 2022 Mac Studio, opening up a project I've been successfully working on for a week, most of my compound clips - not all - are showing up being "unlinked" (RED block with yellow triangle)

Final Cut Pro clips showing black after updating I updated my Mac to the latest firmware Sonoma 14.1.1, and I believe my FCP was also updated at the same time. I opened a project I have been working on for some time now (without any problems), but this time some of the clips were completely black. No errors or anything showing to be wrong, except the clips were completely black. Some of the clips worked perfectly fine as they did before, but it was the 5k clips from my DJI Mavic 3 Pro, that were not working. Below is more information: What my screen looks like in FCP Note that the clips that do still work are 4k and the clips that don't are 5k FCP version 10.6.10 Also, the problem continues even after reimporting the clips. Hopefully someone has an answer for this :) Happy to provide any additional information required.

Final Cut Pro 11.0.1 crashes every time I remove attributes (Shift + Command + X) Every time I use Shift + Command + X, "remove attributes" from clips, for example; I want to delete a colour grade from a selection of clips, FCP 11 crashes as soon as I press 'remove'. It never did this pre FCP11, but now its every time. I have tried all the usual's like deleting preferences, updating, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Video clips turning black and unable to work on after recent update ventura 13.4. Hey everyone, if you reading this your probably on the same boat. After recent update Ventura 13.4 my Mac studio is not reading the video files recored at 100FPS or higher, 4:2:2. I have Sony A1 files and few fx3 video files both recorded in 4K L, 4:2:2,100fps and they all are turning black in fcpx, Da Vinci, and quicktime player is unable to open these files. I have contacted Apple technical team and tried to bring this matter in light. Hopefully they are doing something about it. Please reply to this thread if you are facing the same panic or if there is way around! Note: Only Premiere pro is able to handle the files at the moment.

Can you post a screnshot so we know exactly what this red and yellow screen looks like? There are several possibilities.
