Rendering and crashing

I put an anti-flicker plug in on a 4K clip and it has taken an hour to render 1%. I've tried rebooting, but FCPX just doesn't like the plug in on that clip.

The issue is that I cannot stop FCPX trying to render the clip. I want to highlight the clip and remove the plug in, but every time I highlight the clip, the beach ball cometh. Then I have to reboot FCPX.

Any ideas on how I can remove this bloody plug in from my clip?

Furthermore, my whole project is now being held hostage by one clip with a plug in on it... Is there any way to salvage the project, less that clip?

Thanks,

With the application closed try removing the plugin from the effects folder or uninstalling. The clip should then appear as a missing effects icon, letting you delete it from the inspector.

You could open the application without any Libraries open, (or just select a different one) turn off automatic rendering in your preferences then open the library and try to select the clip to delete the plug-in.
