I updated to FCP 12.0 yesterday. It works fine on my Mac Studio M4, but when I close the app, it takes a long time before it finally quits (about a minute), even when no library is open. Previous versions closed instantly. Tried to “delete preferences” and installing the app again, but no change.
Does anyone recognize this, or - better! - know how to solve this?
Thanks for your useful reply, BenB. I have F-Secure on my Mac. After deactivating this app, FCP 12 shuts down instantly.
Have you confirmed there's no background processes running?
I have noticed FCP 12 takes longer to shut down, but only by a couple of seconds.
FCP 12.0 takes a long time to close
