Final cut 10.5.4 crashes anytime i try to do a smart conform

Final cut 10.5.4 crashes anytime i try to do a smart conform.


it seems to work fine if I don't click on smart conform. I can create a square or vertical video without smart conform but once I click on smart conform it crashes after a few seconds of trying to load the video

What's the original media specs, frame rate, and codec?


I'll have to look at this, but first you should know that every time the application crashes you need to reset your preferences. Hold Opt-Cmd as you double click the library you want to open to launch the application. A dialog appears asking you if you want to Delete Preferences. If you don't do this my double-clicking your library the application will open an Untitled library.
