FCPX can hang a lot with this plugin if you’re not careful, especially on slower machines. You may want to turn off background rendering while you’re applying Neat Video and playing with the settings… and then render everything out when you’re done all at once.If you already have Neat Video, make sure you have the latest version (3.6)… among other things like (like Resolve support), there were some significant render and GFX support changes to the latest version.
