Hi everybody. FCP loading plugins (too many) takes forever. Actually it's kind of stuck. I need to load a lot of plugins at the same time. I was wondering if upgrading the RAM from 16gb to 64gb would solve the problem. Or should I stop loading so many plugins together.
My iMac configuration
iMac 2017
CPU 3.8
RAM 16
Hard Fusion 2t
What version of FCP and MacOS? There was a slow AU validation issue that I think began with Ventura 13.3. I don't know the current status. Could that be your problem? Here is a discussion of that: Final Cut Pro STUCK VALIDATING AUDIO UNITS - Apple Community
I don’t expect more RAM to have a significant impact here.
You do have a Fusion Drive, which is not ideal. The best upgrade to your iMac would be a fast external SSD. But if you need only some of those plugins you could move the rest aside, at least temporarily; either by hand or using a little Automator action or Shortcuts shortcut. In a manual fashion you’d have a plug-ins disabled folder and just move them from one folder to another.
Thanks a bunch, bro.
I'm curious as to exactly what plugins?
