FCP & Photos - Drag and Drop Not Working

I'm not able to drag-and-drop a photo from Photos to FCP. Is this not possible or something?


These instructions do not work:

Import into Final Cut Pro for Mac from Photos - Apple Support

Are you dragging to an event, as explained in that support document? What happens?


Open Photos, go to Photos->Settings.

There is a button there: "Use as System Photo Library".

Is this button already greyed out (inactive)? If it is active, click it.


Then open Final Cut Pro and click on the photos browser. Does that work?
