Troubleshooting Tips for Final Cut Pro X

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Most of the time, Final Cut Pro X works great. But, when it doesn’t, here are some things you can try to get your system back to normal in no time.
Here’s the quick list:
- Quit and restart Final Cut Pro
- Check your media
- Delete render files and re-render
- Create a new library
- Create a new user account
- Trash FCP X Preferences
- Remove and re-install Final Cut Pro
1 Quit and restart Final Cut Pro
Restarting Final Cut releases and refreshes memory so that if something was confusing your system, restarting Final Cut can fix it.
2 Check your media
Frequently, problems are caused by still images that are too big. Limit your digital photos to no more than 5,000 pixels on a side. Final Cut is a video editor, not a still image editor. Images that are too large cause problems.
Also, stock footage files are known to cause problems. Be sure to convert all stock footage to ProRes 422 before importing into Final Cut Pro X.
3 Delete render files and re-render
Open your Project in the Timeline and choose File > Delete Project Render Files. Render files can become corrupt. Trashing them forces Final Cut to create new render files which often will fix the problem.
4 Create a new library
Create a new library and a new project. Then, copy and paste sections of the old project into the new project. Test each section until you find the spot that doesn’t work. At which point, you can remove or replace the bad media.
5 Create a new user account
