Final Cut Pro Trial not loading after Monterey OS Update (Invalid dylib load)

I tried this as well and it did not work. It says "file exists" in terminal and when I open final cut pro x it has the same error report.

I did not have homebrew installed initially, but after reading through the forum solutions, I installed homebrew and used the terminal solutions (such as the one you provided) but still no luck. I uninstalled and did a clean install of the final cut pro trial each time. Still no luck.

My guess is something went wrong on my computer since the libcrypto.lib alias points to a folder in my adobe photoshop for some reason. If there's an actual location where the alias is supposed to point to, I could try to "fix the alias" but I have no idea where it should point to either...

I downloaded 10.61 from this link. I also tried multiple clean installs after trying various solutions but the same error keeps appearing. My guess is something went wrong with the Monterey upgrade since I don't see other users having this issue?

I will try to downgrade to Big Sur first to see if that resolves the issue. I ran a full computer diag and nothing else seems to be wrong with the system.

The error message seems to imply all I have to do is correctly link a dylib file and there are various solutions online explaining how to do this, but it's from the context of modifying the code in apps that are about to launch on macs, so I'm going to explore this a bit more.

Hoping someone in the community will know how to properly update these dynamic libraries so it fixes the issue without me having to go through the headache of a clean install.

Already ran this report and didn't find anything unusual. The report again mentions the problem with the dylib:

Diagnostics Information (past 7-30 days):

This is the only unusual element found. I don't have any "bad" programs installed (clean my mac, spyware, anti-virus). I will wait for a response where someone knows more info specifically about the dylib files.

I also wonder if the issue is related to the fact that I went from Catalina to Monterey (skipped the Big Sur update). Maybe that caused problems in the dylib? If I don't get any solutions, I will downgrade to Big Sur and then test, and then maybe try upgrading to Monterey again.

However, based on the response of other users, it seems there are still many issues with 10.61 and Monterey.

I finally figured it out...

The referenced dylib was indeed linking incorrectly as I assumed. I did a search for the specific file using terminal (you will not be able to locate the file by using the general finder search). In terminal, type: "find /Applications -name libcrypto.dylib" (or whatever dylib file is causing problems). Terminal will then give you the exact location of where the file is located.

I copied that file over to the original folder where the alias is incorrect and now Final Cut Pro X opens! However, this seems like a temporary workaround since I noticed that my other dylib files also have incorrect aliases...which means other programs that access those libraries may cause errors.

If anyone knows why this error may have occurred, I would really appreciate it so I can do a proper fix. If there is no proper fix, I will have to do a clean install looks like :(

Here's the report.

I downloaded the trial from the official link multiple times (trying clean install) with no luck. :(
