Final Cut Crashing Every Time "Add Destination" is Attempted

Final Cut Crashing Every time "add destination" is attempted


Every time I've attempted to go to Share, then Add Destination, then dragged in Save Current Frame, Final Cut crashes and save current frame continues to not be part of the export destinations. No other issues with Final Cut, including exporting otherwise.

MacBook Air, macOS 14.3

That's an odd one I've not seen reported here. Whenever FCP crashes, is Force Quit, or starts acting strangely an easy thing to try is deleting FCP preferences. Hold Option and Command while launching FCP and choose Delete Settings. It will open the default Untitled library. Re-open the library you were working on, configure the Settings back to the way you like them (disable Background rendering, etc.) and see if the issue has been resolved.
