I am editing on a brand new M2 MAX MacBook Pro and I'm editing a really simple project in FCP and I keep getting crazy swapped memory before FCP gives up and crashes. What's going on?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.0
Hint: Chrome....
Why, you say, if Chrome is only using a little bit of RAM and FCP is using a LOT?

Also: there may be other issues as well. If you have any cleaners, or antivirus, they can wreck professional applications.

Completely uninstall Chrome and keystone launch daemons.
Is firefox any better?
Yes.
