Final Cut Pro STUCK VALIDATING AUDIO UNITS

I recently updated my iMac to the latest Ventura 13 update and Final Cut Pro to Version 10.6.5.


For the last month or so since then, I have been unable to open the app as it remains stuck validating Audio Units. I have been unable to open the windows and cannot even use the tabs on my app to open preferences or windows.


Please help

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

Start by deleting preferences:

To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences.

Hopefully, this will be enough.

The application will start in a default state, and open an "Untitled" library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.

If after the Delete Preferences dialog, the app is still stuck, we may have to dig into the folder where the audio units are, but I'm confident this won't be necessary.
