How to open Final Cut Pro X on M1 Macs

[mossme89]

I know many users are having trouble opening FCPX on Big Sur & on M1 Macs. Run this command. It will open FCPX through Rosetta 2. I'm posting this here so it will hopefully help anyone having trouble.

arch -x86_64 /Applications/Final\ Cut\ Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/.Final\ Cut\ Pro

What troubles are people having? It's working perfectly for me, so I'm curious.....

Works fine for me - it’s been coded to run natively on the M1 Macs.

Or click on the icon and choose Get Info (CMD-I) and check the Open Using Rosetta box.

Odd that I’ve had no issues on my M1 MBP

I use it extensively every day. I haven't had a single problem with it on my M1.

I've had real difficulty getting skimming to work reliably on my M1 MBA. It's enabled but very inconsistent. I didn't do a migration so maybe there's another setting to get skimming to show me clips in my browser, even when I have a project open?
