FCPX crashing when amending or deleting captions!
I’ve been a user of FCPX for two years and have always sung its praises for my workflow.. until now.
I usually work on short 2-5 minute videos for corporate businesses and scientific companies. This time I have a series of webinars I am producing which last 30-45 minutes – I’ve had nothing but issues with subtitling.
Whenever I go to edit the SRT captions that I’ve imported, it shuts down the software. Specifically when I’m double clicking the captions and then hitting the backspace arrow, for example, to amend a spelling mistake. I have been using a transcribing service to create SRT files that I import, however, this issue also happens when I manually enter captions myself.
The problem also happens with iTT captions so it is not related to only .SRT files.
I have the latest FCPX update 10.6.10, running on my 2021 M1 Max, MacBook Pro, 32GB RAM. Running Sonoma 14.1
I recently upgraded this from 10.6.8 to try and prevent the issue from happening but it has made zero difference. I’ve also tried deleting preferences several times when opening, no difference.
I’ve included below the heading from the report incase that helps anyone diagnose what is going on.

Very curious. I’ve been using FCP 10 for more than 10 years. I saw a very similar behavior some years ago. I would go to edit a title text and backspace would crash it. My workaround – may help you? – was to use the mouse to select and cut and paste to edit this text. The problem I was seeing went away two revs later.
