FCP Using a crazy amount of swapped memory then crashing

I am editing on a brand new M2 MAX MacBook Pro and I'm editing a really simple project in FCP and I keep getting crazy swapped memory before FCP gives up and crashes. What's going on?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.0

Hint: Chrome....


Why, you say, if Chrome is only using a little bit of RAM and FCP is using a LOT?

Also: there may be other issues as well. If you have any cleaners, or antivirus, they can wreck professional applications.
