Issues with Fabfilter plugins in Final Cut Pro
I am using a master chain of Fabfilter plugins (latest versions of Pro-Q3, Pro-DS, Pro-C2 and Pro-L2) on Compound clips in Final Cut Pro. I use the Compound Clips to group all the edits in a video and to place the final master audio processing for the whole video.
The FF plugins are giving me lots of issues like bogging down FCP to the extent that it is showing the spinning beachball a lot when working with parameters in a plugin. Especially Pro-Q3 is giving me issues.
The biggest issue is that I can't change switchable parameters after I have inserted the plugin, changed parameters and closed the plugin window. That is if I open the plugin again I can change switchable parameters but once I play the timeline, these parameters jump back to their previous values. With switchable parameters I mean parameters that are buttons like the Limiting algorithms (Style) in Pro-L2 or changing the Zero latency to Natural Phase in Pro-Q3 etc.
Even if I only use FF plugins in the chain (my chain also contains a plugin from Acon), it will give me the same issues.
The plugins have no issues running in Logic Pro (also AU like FCP) on the same Macbook Pro. They also run perfect in Pro Tools on my Mac Pro. But that's AAX of course.
Is this problem known and is there anything I can do to try and fix this?
I'm running Final Cut Pro on a Macbook Pro 2021 M1 Max with 64GB RAM and 32 GPU cores with the latest MacOS Ventura 13.3.1.
P.S.
It also often crashes when I save or overwrite a preset. I have a crash report of that if you want it.
Hi Rob,
Please send us the crash report via email. We haven't heard about this problem before but we can definitely look into it. Is there a small FCP session that you can share with us that demonstrates the problems?
Cheers,
Bonjour.
J 'ai changé de pc au mois de septembre 2022.
Je rencontre beaucoup de problème avec studio one.
J'ai fini par me lasser de presonus et je suis entrain de passer sur Bitwig. Plus aucun problème de plantage.
Mais malheureusement je ne peux toujours pas utiliser mes produit fabfilter.
ils se bloquent ou se figent constement.
Merci pour votre aide...
Appologies for my late response.
I have emailed you the crash report.
Thanks in advance for your time looking into this.
Hi Frederik,
Have you been able to reproduce the problems that I have with FF plugins in Final Cut Pro using the FCP Library that I sent?
Hi Rob,
We are investigating, thanks for sending all the needed files!
Cheers,
Same issue here. Any updates?
