If Final Cut Pro is working fine and no crash is occurring, move onto step 4. With all of your plugins removed, open Final Cut Pro to see if a crash is still happening even though no plugins are installed. For example, all folders inside the main Titles folder will be placed into the Titles Temporary folder. Macintosh HD > Users > Your Username > Movies > Motion Templatesĭrag your plugin templates from each of the four motion templates folders into the corresponding temporary folders. Step 1Ĭreate some temporary folders on your desktop and move your plugin template folders there temporarily. If you’ve reset your preferences and are still getting a crash, narrowing down the cause can be tricky, but there is a method of identifying the issue if it is a plugin that is causing the issue. Follow this path to reopen:įile > Open Library > Other > Locate menu (they’re the files with the purple icons with four white stars saved by default in your Movies folder in the following path): Your Final Cut Pro Libraries will likely be closed but you can reopen them through the File menu. This will delete any preferences you have stored, so we recommend keeping a note of how you have your preferences set so that you can adjust them back to your liking quickly. To clear your Final Cut Pro preferences, launch the app in your dock or in while holding down the Cmd + Option (Alt) keys and click “Delete Preferences” in the popup that appears. Apple’s support recommends doing this as can be seen here under Reset Final Cut Pro preferences. When Final Cut Pro starts acting up we recommend deleting your Final Cut Pro preferences. After working in Final Cut Pro for long stretches of time, the data stored inside Final Cut Pro can stack corrupted data in its preference files which can result in an unexpected app behavior such as instability, crashes, artifacts, extended render times, etc.
