Agreed. A long sanding unexpected behavior. Let the FCP team know. The squeaky wheel will get the grease.

Likely this was a temporary corruption that happened and is possibly resolved. I’ve seen this happen several times. However, to be safe, copying everything to a new library. It will likely resolve the corruption issue. If not, check out this article, starting with #4. https://blog.frame.io/2016/09/13/recognize-fix-common-problems-fcpx/

I’ve seen this before. Likely bad media, but could be something else. However, here is a troubleshooting article on frame.io blog. Start with #7, “Not being able to open a Library or even a Library backup. Inability to render a section. Share fails midway.”

From what you describe It could be the OS or hardware, difficult to isolate. I would try the steps I outlined above, however you could bypass it and just clone your drive (your running a Time Machine right?) and then bring it to the Apple store, they will give it a shot to fix or just swap about the machine.

Ouch. If the system is not responding to command-option-esc and you are not getting kernel panic then I suspect something is wrong at the user account, OS install, or even the hardware level. FCPX pushes the hardware very hard using all cores and GPU to the fullest, so it is possibly that the issue is only manifesting itself when FCPX is running.

Thought doubtful, just to rule out a few things:
– Does this happen with every project? If not, well that is crazy. Let me know.
– By any chance is this Red footage? If so it could point to a problem with your Red software or GPU.
– Have you reset preferences in FCPX by holding down command-option while clicking on the FCPX icon? If this fixes it, that again is crazy.
– Have you repaired disk permissions and repaired the startup disk? (Best to do in recovery, holding down command-R while restarting your Mac)

If the above are ruled out I would try the following:

Create a fresh user admin account. Then launch FCPX in that account, if it persists, you at least ruled out the user account corruption issue.

If the new user account doesn’t resolve it, then try a reinstall of the OS. In recovery mode chose to install the OS and the installer will do a install without wiping out the user accounts.

If the OS recovery install doesn’t resolve it then this is pointing to a hardware failure.

Let me know if anything isn’t clear and how it goes.

Hi Kevin,

Bummer you are having trouble. It has to be frustrating. This original thread was likely the result of failing hardware, not FCPX specifically.

Regarding things now, I’ve haven’t specifically heard of this issue. We use FCPX all day on iMac’s, MacPros, MacBook Pro Retina’s etc.

Are you saying that command-option-escape is not giving you the chance to force-quit the app?

Can you let me know your OS version as well as your FCPX version?
Are you using any third-party FX Plugins? like Coremelt Lock & Load, Slice X, Track X, FX Factory plugins?

– T.

If you’ve got 24bit source material it will be 24bit. Where are you seeing it is 16 bit? Open in QuickTime and choose Get Info to see.

Oh it’s totally flexible, and fantastic too. Make your multicam clip and then in the browser the clip selected (or multiple clips) name the audio channels, for example this:

Then on a clip by clip basis you can disable audio channels completely by just disabling them in the inspector. Then when you expand audio components you can trim, change overall volume, keyframe, apply effects, etc. to individual channels of audio.

It’s the most fantastical thing ever. 😉

This is covered pretty well in the manual (it is amazing how handy it is 😉 Have a look here:
