Fcp wont load cause of audio plugins

Question

Hi. I work on Fcp studio and Logic pro. I have a lot of audio plugins for Logic espescially waves. But now fcp wont load cause it crashes when it gets to a certain plugin. I don't want to use audio plugins in fcp as I do my audio in logic.
Why has fcp seen my logic plugins and how can I stop this, I can't run fcp. I've tried dragging the components folder out but no luck. There must be a resolution to this, it's driving me nuts.
Many thanks
Antony.

I've had the same problem.
FCS maintenance pack is not really an option - it disables the plugins globally, so Logic wont load them. It's also expensive (for what it does) - $169.
The easiest workaround I found is to shift the plugins (located in the /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ folder) to - for example - another folder (not called 'components') on the desktop, before launching FCP. Then you can move them back before launching Logic. A pain, yes, but until Apple fixes their problem...waiting.
None of the plugins in this folder are core to FCP (if you're like me they'll be all Logic plugins), so there are no consequences to FCP. You could probably keep some in the folder, as I think the problem has got to do with the number of plugins (a different plugin crashes FCP every time for me).
