New version of FCPX (10.6.7) is horrible. When is going to be a new firmware update with less bugs?

Some basic stuff inside FCPX is not working properly since it automatically updated today morning, I can't edit. Too many bugs, I can't even navigate through my clips because the viewer window won't load the new video image, just the audio. I can't Zoom in or zoom out from time to time. I have to quit FCPX and open it again for it to work properly

Mac mini, macOS 13.4

Start by deleting FCP 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.

Hi all,

Today I got back to continue with my work after updating to latest version (actually, I'm up-to-date in all my Mac stuff), and my FCP simply stops playing back, and freezes the video (sometimes, the bar goes on... sometimes crashes).

I own a M1 MacBook Pro 14" and an external NVME thunderbolt 4 disk (2800Mb/s).

Before this update, all was running very well.

Any idea?


Thank you very much.
