Final Cut Pro photo browser not working

I am trying to make a slideshow movie in Final Cut Pro v10.2 on Yosemite. I also have Photos instead of iPhoto. All of the media browsers in FCP work except the Photos browser. When I select the pulldown menu to select a folder, album, etc., a large black window opens with navigation arrow top and bottom. The window is empty but if I click in it an album or event will appear in the browser, depending on where I click. It looks like the window is populated with the name of the albums but the names do not appear. Is this a conflict between FCP and Photos and is there a fix or work around?

PPhotos does work. Post a screen shot of what you're seeing.

Start by deleting preferences. Hold down command and option while starting the application.

Need to see what you see before you click in the window. It covers everything up.

I too had this problem, and deleting preferences did not solve it. However, when I went into Photos preferences and clicked on the "Use as System Photo Library" button, all was right in the world.
