Final cut pro crashing when I edit mp4 file

I have imported 2 mp4 files and the project I'm working on is crashing every minute or two. What could be the cause and what should I do?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.1

Final Cut Pro I don't know how to explain this properly but here it goes, I have certain clips that are not fully rendering even when I click "render all." so if I hit play to watch what I have on my time line those clips play glitchy, only way for it to be fixed is to re-ad the original file and delete the old and re-edit the new one. The problem is other files start to do this the next day when I open up the project. If you look at my image uploaded you can see the rendered dots, that's where it plays glitchy. How do I fix this? project is 4k 30fps, files uploadedare 4k 60fps.

Final Cut Pro keeps crashing Hi everyone hoping someone can help me with this. Im coming to the end of an effect heavy project and the crashing has started. I have created a new project within a new event with a smaller chunk and it still crashes. Ive reset the preferences and deleted and re-installed tcp and the crashes persist. I am editing from an external hd with plenty of room, there is plenty of space and ram available on the studio also. I have photoshop open and safari at the same time and that is it. The etre report is attached , thanks in advance for any help I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do !

Whenever there is a crash, delete the application preferences.

What version of FCP?

Does the problem occur with the same clips on a new test project?
