Final cut running sluggish with constant beachballs
Final Cut performance is really poor for me. Simple things like changing text or even pressing play are causing it to hang for 10 seconds with the infamous beachball.
I recently updated the OS from Senoma to Sequoia as well as updated Final Cut for the first time since June and suddenly i'm having these slowdowns that weren't present before. I'm using a fresh library to edit a 3 hour pantomime and while i've got several angles, there isn't any overly complicated effects. When I edited a similar project in June there wasn't an issue.
I tried deleting all google apps and its their various keystones after reading a lot of users found it caused the exact issues I was having, however it's made no difference.
Is there something else I should be trying? I read that possibly migrating my M2 from my old intel mac could be the cause, however that was in early 2023 when I migrated and as said, it's only now the issue has started.
Background rendering is off and I generally close all other programs whilst editing. I'm editing and taking files straight from the internal SSD, no proxy or optimised footage.
