Weird glitch in FCPX timeline

So, I'm editing normally - when things start to disappear in the timeline while the preview video screen (top right) goes black! I got that little black icon you can see - which I dont know what it means.
Can anyone make anything of this....

I kept getting this little gap clip every time I made a particular video clip + two audio clips into a compound clip. The little gap clip would wedge itself in there at the end of the clip. I double and triple checked that there was no gap when the clips were broken apart, and yet every time I compounded them, the little gap clip would appear.
The only solution was not to go with the compound option for that particular video + two audio clips.

Weird glitch when rotating a solid in After Effects 2014.1

Hi All,
When I rotate a solid with a scale of 0,5% (or smaller), 100% a weird glitch appears.
There is a workaround, but this is my way of working. So it's kind of annoying. Does somebody else have the same problem?
I'm working on a iMac Late 2010

Are you referring to the aliasing or are you rotating a bunch of layers? I'm not sure what I am supposed to be seeing because I don't see the timeline, the properties of the layer, or the solid without rotation.
I cannot reproduce your jagged lines result unless I scale the layer to less than a single pixel in width and rotate it but in that case aliasing would be expected because of the thickness of the lines. OS? Version of AE? Comp info?

Has Apple added the ability to put Motion docs in a FCPX timeline yet?

Much of my workflow depends on editing Motion Documents in a FCP7 timeline. I know about the ability to save a Motion doc as a template, but I haven't found a way to edit the Motion doc once it's in the FCPX timeline outside of rigs, etc. I need to be able to green screen people into my Motion documents weekly, and green screening through rigs, positioning them in 3D, rendering each individual cut from FCPX to a mov file to a DropZone, and then more editing after that.... it gets complicated and cumbersome. All that I really need is to choose a Motion Doc in a FCPX timeline and open it in Motion as needed - maybe when you right click the doc you see a nice big "Open in Motion" graphic or something - the fact that you can place a Motion file in the timeline makes me think they're not too far from this. Is this a planned addition?

Not a current feature.
"Is this a planned addition?" Apple rarely makes promises of future features publicly. Anyone who would know privately wouldn't be allowed to reveal anything here.

Weird glitch in Viewer window Retina Display

I've been successfully running Final Cut Studio in Mountain Lion on my 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display for over a week now with no major problems. I am however noticing a weird glitch in the Viewer window in FCP7 playback. It's like a glitch where like a digital band sort of buzzes on the screen randomly when playing back. It doesn't always happen, but just sometimes.
The footage is rendered and doesn't have any 3rd party plug ins or filters on it. Just color correct 3 way and it is rendered.
The footage is ProResLT from a Canon 5DMKII playing off of a LaCie Rugged 500GB hard drive connected via USB 3.0.
The original footage is fine if I look at it on another computer or another monitor so this leads me to believe it is due to the Retina display since this is the first time I have ever experienced it. Has anyone else encountered this?

can't help you directly since I don't have the same equipment configuration, but...
Have you tried recompressing the material as a different kind of prores? What are the pixel dimensions on the footage?
Have you tried hooking up an external monitor?
You say this just occurs in the viewer, but do you really mean just the viewer (which with the standard screen configuration is the left monitor) or does this happen with video playing on either the viewer of canvas. Do you see this when you play full screen?

Just upgraded to cs6 from cs5, some weird glitches...

I am noticing some weird glitches and was wondering if it was just happening to me or to many.
Whenever I hover over the "Layers" panel and hover over anything it keep trying to show both, the standard mac hover over link hand and the adobe photoshop standard triangle cursor. It's as if it they keep interering with eachother.
I have restarted photoshop.
Even restarted my computer, but still have the same products.
It's vary annoying because it also happens even when trying to get rid of Guide Lines, it shows the cursor you get on hover to remove a Guide Line and the photoshop triangle cursor flickers in and out inbetween the two constantly so I don't know if I am going to move a layer or a Guide Line lol.
Any advice would be greatly appreciate!
Jon

Anything to do with a HUD (heads up Display)? Sorry, I'm not a Mac user. Can you upload a screen grab that shows the cursors?

What causes these weird glitches [img]http://www4.slikomat.com/13/0319/z2c-crke-p.jpg[/img]

Thanks for the quick answers.
First I updated the graphics driver, but nothing changed. If I disable the hardware acceleration the fonts change a bit but the problem seems to be solved.
As for the second solution: the first pref change made all the right click popups completely black, the 2nd pref did kinda the same as with the disabled hardware acceleration.
All in all the glitch seems to be repaired, but only due to the decrease in quality (I guess).
The difference can be seen in the pic.
Once I highlight the glitched area, it goes away, but as soon as I scroll it appears somewhere again.
Thanks a bunch for the help. If there is something more to try, please do not hesitate to help :)

Getting Weird Glitches After Rendering

I'm doing a big project with a lot of Motion files that we render in FCP. I had to have them as motion files versus QT because... long story, but after much trial and error it was the best solution.
Maybe a ten to twenty percent of the time, when I render these bits of the sequence, they get weird glitches. Sometimes lines across the non-alpha section of the motion file. Sometimes flashes of color across part of the video. When I simple copy the clip, delete the bad one, drop the copy in, and then rerender, it works fine. We were rendering to an external eSata drive. We're now rendering to an internal eSata drive-- just to see if that makes a difference.
Anybody ever seen this problem before?
Thank you,
Alex

NTSC, started as Digibeta. The Motion files however were created from image sequences that were starting as PAL. We converted them and have had good results, except for this 10-20% with glitches on rendering.
Thank you,
Alex

A weird glitch

Hey, I think I got some weird glitch going on lol.
Actually, I'm sure I've been blocked by someone. I deleted them from my contact list right after they blocked me. And then I thought I'll add them back to my list after all for reasons, and at first when I tried clicking "Add to contacts" it told me I need to request to be added to the contact list; I didn't do so. But at one point I tried again and after I clicked "Add to contacts", they just appeared back on my contact list. That was one weird thing that happened, but that's not the glitch I wanted to write about.
For a while the contact appeared as offline, as far as I know that's how being blocked looks. But lately the person that blocked me started appearing online pretty often - except always for a short period of time. Usually only a second, sometimes a bit longer. When I tried messaging them after they were available for a bit longer time, I didn't get any reply. Interestingly enough one time I checked simultaneously on two computers (since on one I keep the old version of Skype; thought it might be the source of the glitch), and on one computer they appeared offline, and on the other - online. Thought it was because I used an old version of Skype, but apparently not, the same thing happens with the latest version as well (actually it just keeps happening all the time right now...). It's a bit weird. The no-reply thing makes me convinced I'm either (still) blocked or at least deleted from their list (and they can't see my messages). Any idea where it might come from?
Of course, as far as my irritation from this person constantly appearing online while I can't message them goes, I can just delete them from my contact list again, but I'm curious as to where it could be coming from. Someone had a similar thing happening?

I have the same problem, I think I'm being blocked, yet if I go online I can see him online for a few seconds, then he goes offline, but after about 10 seconds he pops back up online for a second and goes offline. Can anyone help what the problem is?

Can I edit a rough cut in the FCPX timeline and export without compression

Hi,
I know this probably is a simple question for those in the know, I have some footage shot on a Canon 5D Mark 2 and I want to bring it into the FCPX timeline without transcoding ie leaving it in its native file format H264 then clean it up and export it out of FCPX without any compression leaving it as I found it, I need to give this footage to another editor and I don't want him to see all my bad camera moves just the diamonds in the rough
Appreciate if anyone could answer this?

HI Tom, thanks for the reply, I was afraid of that, I did not know you could do limited trimming in the QT PLayer, this might just help me out
Regards
Mark

Weird glitches since the last Leopard upgrade to 10.5.5

Since I upgraded to 10.5.5 on my mac pro about a week and a half ago, I've been experiencing some weird glitches. Here's a list...if you have any ideas I'm open to suggestions.
- computer not always waking from sleep mode (have to shut down manually and reboot)
- one of my games, Soldier of Fortune II Double Helix with Gold Patch crashes after every change to a new map - it's not related to the server I'm connecting to because I play on multiple servers and it does them in all, it just started doing this since the upgrade...I even reinstalled my game
- another game I played last night - Unreal Tournament 2004, I played on a local LAN with my husband and my video froze...my screen went completely black although for a few seconds I could still heard the sounds of the game and then completely black and no sound, I had to manually shut down my system to get out of it
- tonight, as I was logged into msn messenger chatting, I noticed that when I had the program maximized (it nests on the right hand side of my monitor) that all of my files on the desktop, including my mounted disks looked like they had scooted over to the left...so I minimized it and then maximized it again and the files and mounted disks were underneath the window as they should be
As I sit and describe these, it's obvious to me that all of these instances are video related somehow, or appear to be. If anyone knows specifically if there was a video update of some kind in the 10.5.5 update, that might explain it. The only other thing I can think of that might be attributing to this is that I have enabled time machine to do backups. That is the only other thing that is different than before aside from the update to 10.5.5. Actually, I just looked at my settings for time machine and I turned it off the other day. Thanks Jen

Absolutely. Let me just clarify here. I love my mac and have never been more satisfied with a product the way I have been with my macs (iMac G5 & Mac Pro). The reason I made the investment in 2005 was because of Windows crashing on me on almost a weekly basis, with me finally ending up loosing very important data. There is no contest - to me - between the stability of the Mac OS versus Windows. I could never see myself going back to Windows. I am very impressed with the support I receive through Apple Care and overall find it comprehensive. With that said, I would have to say that with both my G5 and my Mac Pro, both computers have ended up having bad hard drives and had to be replaced. Now, after getting my computer back, I am more inclined to believe that 99% of my problems had to do with a bad hard drive than anything else. I cannot believe how quiet my machine is now versus when I took it in. Perhaps the upgrade to 10.5.5. pushed it in limits that finally revealed it's problems, who knows. I personally will not be rolling back to an earlier version at this point because so far all of the problems I was experiencing are gone. Thanks to all of you for a very enlightening discussion. Thanks Jen

Weird sound glitch when copying timelines

I am editing a project in 16:9 PAL and my original timeline forces me to render before viewing my footage. New timelines let me see the footage without rendering BUT when I copy my old timeline into ANY new timeline, I get repeated audio sequences. Really weird. Any advice?

repeated< ?? </div>
Sorry, can't visualize "repeated" audio.
In the tracks vertically or in the timeline horizontally?
Echo?
Gonna need a better explanation.
Are you sure you need to render your project? Why doesn't the sequence setting allow you to realtime the thing?

FCPX Timeline Glitch (10.1.1)

Works fine on my non-retina 2012 Macbook Pro, but my new Retina causes this to happen
http://youtu.be/XwlmybgITeo

Interesting. I've actually been working on a 2 hour (6 EXDCAMs HD 50 Mb/s) MultiCam Clip synced 32 bit .Wav audio of a Rock Band performance and have not had any issues. I have multicam clips of each song made into compound clips, many transitions and effects and titles in 28 projects exported 3 different ways each. The Library now has grown to be over 190 GB in size.
Since I am done with this project -but b4 I delete all except the Master Files - I have been on the FCP X forum trying to re create some of the issues I am reading about. I mean I have been abusing this machine inside this Library, copying things here, alying effect on top of effects, working with color in ways no sane human would - and I can not get this thing to Hiccup except in 2 cases: (1) I created a new custom name in the inspector for a clip that has been edited. When I go in and type info in that new "category {I named Editor} 9 times out of 10 I will get a beach ball that will not quit until I force quit. It doesn't matter if I do this right after starting FCP or after editing for a couple of hours - (2) when I preview each effect by putting the skimmer on the effect while still in the Effects browse - I am mean each and every effect - all of them one right after another, then my 16 gigs of ram become depleted and everything freezes.
I have FCP 7 Studio installed on the same machine along with Perian and all kinds of crap I brought over from my old computer. For the life of me I cannot make FCP X act up except in the 2 ways I said - one of which is what anyone would call extreme.
So I am interested - what do you think is happening in your case? Under what conditions exactly is it occuring? What is your hardware/software profile - I understand that you have been using FCP for over a year. You must have some ideas what is happening?

Why do I get weird glitching pink lines in my export?

When I Export from Premiere Pro CC, I almost always get these weird pink lines glitching in the video file accompanied by skipping video...
Usually it happens just at the very beginning of the exported clip, but sometimes it's happened the whole way through.
I am new to Premiere Pro CC, but I am not new to editing. I have been using FCP professionally for 12 years, but I'm now trying to make the switch to Premiere. So is there some basic thing that I'm just not doing? This is literally my first project that I'm trying to do fully in Premiere Pro CC, so I have not seen whether this is happening with other types of footage or not.
For what it's worth, this footage was shot on a C300 and imported natively into premiere. It is 24p (true 24fps, because I neglected to be specific to the camera operator about actually wanting 23.976), but I've placed it in a 23.976 timeline. It's from that timeline that I'm doing the export. I'm operating on a new suped-up Mac Pro "Bullet", so I doubt my hardware is the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

While I'm at it, this particular clip is a 20 minute interview. But every time I try to export the whole thing, I get this message after about 30 seconds:
I can export smaller portions (but then I get the pink glitches). I've tried a few different formats, and always get the same result. Premiere is not impressing me so far... come on!

Help! Weird issue with FCPX

Just got FCPX, first video I edited went very smoothly although I'm still learning. Now I created a new project and I am so confused. When I drop in a video it goes on the timeline in this weird blue-framed section. I can't move it later down the timeline where I want it. I put in the next clip and it glues it to the first. I lift the first clip to the layer above and the 2nd jumps to the front. Help! Impossible to edit anything this way! Snapping is turned off.

Please post screen shots of what you're seeing.
this weird blue-framed section
Sounds like a video clip in the FCP timeline.
I can't move it later down the timeline where I want it. I put in the next clip and it glues it to the first. I lift the first clip to the layer above and the 2nd jumps to the front.
This sounds normal. The timeline is magnetic and cannot be switched off. If you want to move something to some arbitrary point in the timeline window to need to fill the intervening space with a gap.

How to delete effect from properties, file management, glitches in fcpx

In the timeline I'm getting missing preview pics and choppiness in sound plus lag after importing to a new 1tb ext HD, why is this happening? I may have disrupted the import or rendering cuase my computer just shut down, but I tried playing the original and its doing the same...I'm also getting choppiness in the sound. another problem, when I exit out of a project to check project properties and then go back into one my fcpx crashes. This i has to be the worst experience yet.
How do I remove an effect I added which I dont want anymore? I've unchecked it but doesn seem like original.
I really would like to move thing around and mange some of the files but I'm too worried that something may go wrong again. The 256 is flash HD plugged into usb, and the 1tb HD is through thunderbolt. With only one Thunderbolt slot this is the best arrangment I thought.

Thanks!
Underneath is the main angle I'm taking only the audio from. The top is the multicam clip I'll take the video and disable the audio. The reason for this is that I get a popping sound everytime I change angle.
If there is another way please let me know.
so the issue with the unstabe video is still there.
