Final Cut Pro is freezing during editing after 10.8 update (still whit 11.00 version)

Hello everyone,


I never had problems with FCPX, but after the 10.8 update the program started to be unusable.

I had a 2019 MacBook Pro (whit Intel chip) and I thought that the model was the problem.

So, I upgraded my Macbook with a new M4 Pro MacBook, but the problem persists.

It is not an hardware or an external disk issue. I tried to reset preferences - delete and reinstall FCPX app - create a new library - set off some trackpad options.

Yes I used the migration assistant, but I need my data and files, and the problem is ONLY with FCPX with freezing and forced quit.


I can't work this way. What can I do?

If nobody can solve it, I think I'll return the new MacBook, because it is useless :(

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1

Just an update to my earlier post: I can confirm that the issue is specifically with dragging files from the Finder directly into the video timeline. If I import the files by dragging them into the Libraries panel at the top left, and then drag them from _there_ into the timeline, there are no issues.
