Let's summarize the issues here:
- FCPX will only launch if it's left running in a previous boot session so that on next boot, macOS resumes it. Is this correct? Or FCPX will launch if it's launched immediately after logging in, but will not launch a minute or so later?
- FCPX Export results in "Loading Destinations", but never comes out of this? The Export dialog does not appear?
- iSkySoft Video Converter Ultimate also experiences similar problems? If so, does iSkySoft also fail to Export video?
- The computer sometimes fails to shut down. By re-launching the Finder a couple of times it will eventually shut down?
Questions:
- Are you using several third-party plug-ins?
- Did this problem start recently? If so, was the system (and FCPX) working properly for some time before then?
- Do you have the option to disable some or all third-party plug-ins?
FCPX will work without issues if I open it when I login to macOS. If I do other things like browsing, emails etc it will boot again but I can't export and can't quit also (only force quit). Im not sure about the time after 1st login but if I say 20-30 minutes after login then its 100% sure that it won't work.
Yes the "export dialog" does not appear.
Yes iSkysoft has similar problems. It works when I login w/o issues but after a period of time it's not converting and the apple rotating circle is spinning forever (only force quit works also).
Yes the computer after relaunching the finder it will shut down at least. If when I login I will do shut down in the first minutes then it shuts down without issues.
Yes Im using mainly photography and videography plugins like Red Giant suite and Nik Collection. But I was using the exact same plugins when my system was running without issues for more than a year (with your guides installing Mojave and then upgrading to Catalina).
The problem was there after installing OC 0.6.0 (fresh installation). This was done twice recently.
I can't disable third party plugins but I can uninstall them. Im sure its not about them cause my 2nd system has the same plugins and its working also for more than a year w/o issues (installing Mojave and then upgrading to Catalina with Clover).
From my conclusion I think that all this is related either to iGpu or AMD Gpu acceleration.
That's why I would like to learn from other users on this thread that if they have similar issues with fcpx. Most ppl here have almost identical systems.
