Background task not showing the items. It went blank.

Hi all,


When I open my FCPX today, I just realised that the background task is not showing the typical items such as rending etc...


I couldn't tell how much or how long my import or export percentage is and as well as rendering percentage. It just went blank.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.4

Whenever the application misbehaves, delete its preferences.


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