Final Cut Pro Stuck on Validation
Does anyone know if there's a way to stop Final Cut Pro X 6.5.7 from trying to scan audio units? Mine always freezes. I have found a way though, that's rather inconvenient but works.
Remove the plugins that are causing it to freeze on startup from Library/Audio/Plug-ins
You have to remove each plugin by throwing them to the trash and inputting password, (one by one from components, vst, and vst3 if applicable). Close final cut and repeat as needed until you get through validation. Sometimes you'll need to restart your computer if it keeps insisting on validating them. Do this all the way until you can finally successfully open up FCPX. Once it's open, close it. And start to add back the plugins ONE by ONE (by right clicking and selecting "put back", and reopening FCPX. They will begin to successfully validate... ONE BY ONE. Do this until you finally get through them all.
APPLE... fix your software.
