Final Cut Pro 10.4 Crashes

Much to my surprise, Apple contacted me directly about this problem, and after looking at my crash logs and system config file they determined it was a known problem caused by a bug in CamTwist. Apparently, some extension that CamTwist installs is not compatible with 10.4 and causes the launch crash. I deleted all CamTwist files on my hard drive, rebooted, and now things work fine.

No, I had written a poor review on the App Store. They then reached out to see what they could do.

CamTwist is a video app that is useful for live broadcasting with various bits of hardware and input sources. Things like live Facebook feeds from your Mac, etc. I haven't actually used it in many years, so no loss getting rid of it.

Hi, I have the same problem here too.

New Admin account gives me the same issue, and it's not SD card related because I didn't try importing anything.

I've tried deleting the .fcpbundle library as I no longer need the previous one but the same issue occurred.

It was definitely the 10.4 upgrade because it didn't happen to 10.3.x

I've got a different "report to apple" dialogue earlier and some code crashed because month = 13 (Seems to be what I've highlighted in red above). But I've changed the date of my Mac to January and it still crashed.

Since updating to 10.4 I have experienced ongoing fatal crashes whilst editing(using the new colour correction tools). I have tried all the usual fixes and am now dealing with Apple directly (I understand that my Mac logs are being sent to the FCut software engineers for their analysis of the reasons for the crashes}. Very, very frustrating particularly after purchasing Larry Jordan's latest training. I am awaiting their report on the reason for the crashes and recommendations for a fix.

Same problem here. Try to upload from SD card, crashed. Now FCPX 10.4 won't start up. I have Sierra and never like to update during busy filming time. Now FCPX updated on it's own and I'm stuck until they fix it.

They don't have an easy way of downgrading versions if something doesn't work. You just have to wait for them. Unless you find an older version via torrent. I did this for Compressor since an older version works better than the newest buggy version.

Unfortunately the only way they will reply quickly is through a bad review on their App Store. That's what I'm going to do right now.

Hello

Try deleting preferences.

For most people, 10.4 works fine on 10.13.2.

If deleting preferences does not solve it, there may be some software conflict.

You may want to run Etrecheck and post its report here.

Hi all, I've changed my computer date into November and found that might not be the issue. Any ideas on what would this be?

I can't even get it to launch. After updating to 10.4 it crashes every time I try to launch it 😟

When you say try what do you mean? What exactly are you doing, where?

Seems a different problem. Not related to connecting external devices.

I see - my first go at a forum really. Apologies. Should I start a new conversation elsewhere?

I have just done that, but unfortunately the same crash occurs.
