Final Cut Pro X 10.3.4 (!) on High Sierra - crashing

Hi.


After upgrading (new MacBook Pro Touch Bar) to High Sierra, my Final Cut Pro X 10.3.4 (!!! - supposed to bo compatible with High Sierra) is crushing:

- when loading an existing library

- when loading an existing project

- when creating a new (empty) project

- when importing media files to a newly created library


In other words, nothing is working !


Obviously there are some issues with compatibility...


Any ideas ?

Solutions ?


Apple, R U working on fixing it ? - I'm sure other users report similar problems...


Will appreciate any feedback.

Thanks !

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS High Sierra (10.13)

Start by deleting preferences. They can become corrupted and cause all sorts of problems. Hold down command and option while starting and click Delete Preferences. Then open your library and try.

Are you actually talking about A/V output, or using as a second display? (AFAICT one should not even be able to use a VGA monitor as A/V output)


Assuming the answer is yes:

Did you go into Preferences, and select which device to use as AV Output?


Assuming the answer is no (i.e., that you really wanted something like Show in secondary display->Viewers):

You have to do a little coercing via System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement.

If that is the case, let me know and I will tell you how.

I am also having issues. While I am editing the curser just freezes, and doesn't allow me to continue until I force quit the program.


It's happening every few minutes and I don't know what to do. 3 days ago it was working perfectly, just yesterday it started having issues.


Any suggestions? I updated to the latest High Sierra software, so I assume it had something to do with that?


Really need this program for work projects. :/
