Final cut pro 10.8 bug when using the trackpad

Hi, I discovered bugs in Final Cut Pro update 10.8.

The use of masks ("Transform", "Crop" and "Distort") nails the program if the three-finger dragging function is enabled in the trackpad settings, (Accessibility - pointer control - trackpad options - use dragging - dragging three fingers).

By deactivating the "use trackpad for dragging" option, the problem with these three masks is resolved.

As regards the «Sample color» mask of the «Green screen Keyer» effect, some problems remain (a little slow).

OR:

With the "use trackpad to drag" option enabled, the "Transform", "Crop" and "Distort" masks work correctly using the older model wireless trackpad (the one with AA batteries).

The «Sample color» mask in the «Green screen Keyer» effect with the older model wireless trackpad works almost correctly (a little slow).

Same here on two laptops. Force Touch works fine, three-finger drag has a problem.

We hope that reports of these problems have reached Apple technicians and that they are preparing a solution.

It's been over a week now with the same problem! Still no solutions? How I wish I would've not ran that last update.

Hi, You can solve the problem by trashing version 10.8 and, using «Time machine», reinstalling the previous version (10.7.1)

After discarding version 10.8, just drag the "Final Cut Pro" 10.7.1 icon from the "Time Machine" disk to the Mac applications folder.

Be careful, however, if you have opened a project with version 10.8 it is no longer possible to open it with the previous version.

Apple normally takes up to two weeks to release FCP bug fix versions. Breath.

As has been stated here many times, always make a zip backup of the previous FCP version before updating, and a duplicate of the library before opening in a new version.
