Final Cut Pro Continuously Freezing

I'm totally over Final Cut. I just bought a MacBook Pro M3, uninstalled and reinstalled Final Cut and it will not stop freezing. I can't get anything done. I've read too many responses with the same issue. When will we get this fixed?!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

Usually it all comes down to what else is running on your system. Most people do not have this issue.


Common causes are full system or media drives, and third party software that causes conflicts with professional software. Also, migrating everything from an old mac and OS may bring stuff that no longer works and has problems. This is why we usually recommend migrating just the users and installing applications fresh.


In order to ascertain what might be causing this in your case, we need more information.

Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.

Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.

I am so good. I run nothing else when I open Final Cut. It's a brand new Mac. I should not have these problems. I have deleted Final Cut and am switching to Davinci Resolve. I'm sorry but I'm totally over it and have heard from plenty others with the same issue. It's been a year dealing with it on multiple operating systems and hoped a newer, faster computer would help but nothing has changed. Thanks for the suggestion but I'm done dealing with it.
