Ever since upgrading to Ventura 13.3.1 Final Cut Pro is Stuck on Validating Audio Units

Ever since upgrading to Ventura 13.3.1 Final Cut Pro is Stuck on Validating Audio Units. This has not been an issue for me before, but I'm growing quite impatient about audio plugins and their integration with Apple's OS architecture. Can't the developers do anything right by the user nowadays? Apple used to be the go to for audio/visual production. Currently, you can barely load projects without errors and glitches. Deleting the plugins is not an option for me, because I need them for audio production. I need help resolving this issue.

Thank you for responding. I see you have helped other people with this issue through various versions of Ventura. The problem is that I edit music more than I do video and altering the folder that contains my plugins, which I have spent an arm and a leg for, is not an option. Everything seemed to work just fine before I updated my OS to Ventura 13.3.1 Apple needs to fix this bug pronto. Seriously. it's majorly annoying.

Adding .ignore to the end of the Components folder can be done quickly when you need to use FCP, and it can be removed even more quickly when you want to return to your music. It’s not ideal obviously, but it’s easier than moving a folder full of content.

Hopefully 13.4, which is in development, will alleviate this problem. Unfortunately I can’t test it as I don’t have any problem AUs.

I've also have this problem with FCPX, also motion won't open. I know if you go to where your au plugins are stored and just change the name of the components directory to something else, then FCPX will open with just the stock plugin's in FCPX, But if you use Logic Pro X it won't load any third party AU plugins. I may just re install an earlier Version of Ventura and stop updating altogether. I know everything was working fine until 13.3.1,

At the moment the easiest workaround is to temporarily rename the folder /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

before launching FCP.

You may also try a public beta of 13.4 and see if it fixes the issue.
