Since updating to FCP 10.8, all I get is the spinning color wheel. I’m on M2 Mac Studio with SONOMA 14.5. Anyone else getting this issue? And How do I fix it?
Thanks!
Mac Studio (2023)
I wonder if it's related to the hang problem just reported by Matthew O'Brien in his latest Youtube video. In his case it began on 10.8 when he clicked on an on-screen control for a title or when he used the built-in Draw Mask effect. I think he has numerous plugins but I don't know which ones. I cannot reproduce it on my similar Mac Studio machine, but I have very few plugins.
Thanks Terry, I did what you said and I still get the spinning wheel.
Hey guys, It seems to be booting up fine now and I was able to edit some footage. I got rid of some third-party plugins, so that might have been the problem. Thanks!
Luis, So is it recommended that I delete those .plist files?
Follow the instructions at https://chromeisbad.com for all the locations to look for files to remove.
Once I disconnected the Blackmagic Decklink, FCP opened with no issues. So it's the Blackmagic Decklink
that is the problem. Not happy with that. But at least I know now. Thanks you!
