Uninstall Google Chrome and get rid of all this Google malware and reinstall the application.

What third party apps are crashing FCP? Do you mean plugins? Which plugins? Have you contacted the developer?

I did. Its Pixel film studios plugins. None of them are working. But even without the third part apps, the app is crashing within seconds. As soon as i import something, withing 5 to 10 seconds the app crashes. I even updated the plugins as asked by the provider.

Oh boy!

They blame the update...

The only way some stuff was deleted by the update is if had been installed inside the application bundle itself.

There is no reason to do that, it's completely wrong, and it's on them.

No responsible developer would advise that. There are proper places to install templates or plug-ins, and they are NOT inside the application bundle.

Thank you for reporting back. Can you describe what files in the Application folder were missing? Did they have you right-click or control-click on the Final Cut Pro.app to Show Package Contents and do any fiddling in there?

So there is a PFS(Pixel film studio) folder that should have been in the application folder. After I updated the OS for Mac, the folder was not there. But the Plugin files were there in Movies --> Motion templates folder.

So i was asked to install the PFS folder( given to me in a zip file during the chat itself by the developer) again, place it in the application folder, then reinstall the plugins again. And check that the plugins this time landed in that folder. Once I did that, the plugins were now in the folder and crash stopped happening.

If it helps anyone in future.

My FINAL CUT pro 10.6.8 also keeps crashing with third party apps, since update. I also updated the OS. Its 14.1.1 (23B81)

What OS are you using? What computer? Trash your preferences whenever the application crashes.

Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.

Are you trashing settings after the crash? Can you post a crash log? Someone might be able to spot something?

Also, post another EtreCheck report after you reinstalled the application.

Crash log

Hey its Solved. Spent an hour with the developers of Pixel film. The update of OS deleted some files in Applications folder. Whatever it was, i am at peace now. FINALLY. Thanks for prompt replies. :)
