I Updated to Mac OS Sonnoma and FCPX 10.6.10 AUDIO PLUGINS NOT WORKNG


I Updated to Mac OS Sonnoma on my Mac Mini M1 and FCPX 10.6.10 AUDIO PLUGINS NOT WORKNG. All my plugins, UAD, iZotope, Soundtoys, Cableguys, work in the new Logic on Sonnoma just fine.


I went back to my other mac mini 2018 intel thats still on Mac OS Monterey , I copied the FCPX program and installed it onto this computer, however when I try to open one of my librarys it says that this library was creatted in a newer version of FCPX.


( I have 2 Mac Minis, One is for video editng (the m1, the 2018 intel is for recording studio)


I downgraded to that FCPX 10.6.5 that was on my old mac and FCPX validated all of my audio plugins and IT STILLL gave me the same validation probelms, expect this time it found more plugins it dosnt like like fab filter, etc so the problem is either with the Sonnoma or the new FCPX support for Audio Plugins such as Native Universal Audio Plugins, CableGuys Pancake plugin, iZotope Ozone 9 Advanced, iZotope Relay, iZotope Total Balance Control


My first question: IS THERE A WAY TO KNOW WHAT VERSION OF FCPX with the .fcpbundle library / project?


My Second Question: How can I download that version of FCPX I had if the newest one will not work with my audio plugins and the one from my other mac 10.6.5 is too old? I'm guessing I was on 10.6.6 or 10.6.7 but how can I know? I don't have a time machine backup of when i was on Ventura unfortunately.




WHAT SHOULD I DO? I HAVE ALL MY FCPX FILES SAVED ON A SSD EXTERNAL BUT DON'T HAVE A BACKUP. SHOULD I TRY FIND THE FCPX VERSION AND DOWNLOAD IT FROM A WEIRD SITE OR SHOULD I TRY TO WIPE MY DRIVE, DOWNGRADE TO VENTURA AND HOPE THAT FIXS IT? I WISH I NEVER UPDATED FCPX AND MY MAC OS WITHOUT MAKING A TIME MACHINE BACKUP FML

There are usually two ways to get an older version:


a) Download using a Mac with an older OS. If you have a Mac running Big Sur, or are able to install Big Sur in an external drive and boot from it, you can download 10.6.5, and then copy it across to another mac.


b) Get it from a backup: either from Time Machine, navigating back to a time where you had 10.6.5 running; or from a backup copy made expressly for such a case. I always make a copy of the existing version before updating. I realize this does not help going back, but may be a lesson for the future.

I don't have any Time Machine setup unfortunately , and I only have 2 macs , my m1 Mac mini that I updated to somma that's having the FCPX issues and my other intel 2018 max mini running Mac OS Monterey and I don't wanna update the 2018 max so I don't run into any issues with logic . Just need to know is it possible to know what version of FCPX I was using with the .fcpbundle library files ? Then I can try to download that offline and see if it will work ?

I'm not very confident, but I think the version information of .fcpbundle is written in CurrentVersion.plist. Sorry if I'm wrong.



FCP version:10.4.10 was released on September 24, 2020, and the “CatalystBrowse” library started editing in November of the same year, so I think the information is correct.

I don't remember the day I upgraded to 10.6.5.
