I’ve been having the exact same issue. I’m using a quick text placeholder and as soon as i go to control to change the text I get the ball of death and my final cut crashes.
I deleted my preferences from my system but i still had the same problem. When i copy/pasted my sequence into a new project, i was able to adjust the text in the control menu, but then as soon as i went back to adjust again or create new text, it crashed again with the same problem.
i’m very frustrated and working on a tight deadline. anyone know what could be wrong? something corrupted maybe?
thanks
