FinalCutPro hangs on startup after update to El Capitan

Hi,

FinalCutPro hangs on opening (eternal spinning ball) after updating everything to the latest updates (El Capitan and latest version of FinalCut). I guess it has to do with isotope plugins, which I don't use in FinalCutPro.... How can I stop FinalCutPro from loading these plugins?

Or is there another way to get FinalCutPro working again? What out of the Library should I trash?

Super Thanks!

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11)

I guess you are talking about FCPX, Remove the plugin it is not compatible with FCPX yet.

I tried to remove all plugins, from the Library and from the Motion Templates. I re-installed FCPX (latest version), but it still hangs on startup (beach ball spinning forever). I guess it is the auvaltool which is hanging.

Any suggestions?

I deleted manually all the isotope plugins and Native Instruments plugins.

*Please close all running applications.

Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

*Delete anything related to iZotope products (eg. iZOzone5AUHook.component).

This should delete the Audio Unit files that are causing Final Cut Pro to malfunction.

Now it all works again. But it took me some time to really get everything deleted. Next problem will be to get my authorisations back, once FinalCutProX, El Capitan and the whole audioUnit manager get updated :-)

Thanks for the help!
