Green and red glitches in timeline clip
Hi everybody,
I am trying to add a twixtor effect (5.4.1) in FCPX 10.0.8 to a clip but as soon as I add it the clip has red and green pixel blocks.
The same problem with green bars and pixels I get when I am trying to render a motion clip in Compressor or direct out of Motion. This happens randomly, not with all clips.My graphic card is a NVIDIA 8800 GT – may this be the cause?

10.6.8? oohh… my guess is that’s your problem. If you can, update to OS X 10.8.3, which is where we’re at now. That bug was introduced in FCP X 10.0.6 I think, and it took an OS update to fix it. The other “solution” would be to get a copy of FCP X older than 10.0.6, but I’m not sure how you’d do that… Update the OS. It’s fun! Just back everything up first…

Hi thanks, I intended anyway to upgrade to Mountain Lion, I just didn’t want that lousy 10.7. Would be great if my problems would be solved that easily.
And additionally I just ordered an ATI HD 5870 to be on the safe side. Meanwhile my screen has dancing little dots all over. HmmmmCheers,
Anna

Hmmmm”I’ll go out on a limb and say the ML upgrade and that card (I put one in my mac pro a while ago) will fix you right up. Throw in as much RAM as you can while you’re at it…

I hope so, right now I am backing everything up and than I’ll install OS 10.8. The card should be here on Tuesday and I already have 20 GB RAM – should be enough for a decent small 4K time lapse project.

I think it’ll be fine. Good luck!

oh… once you’ve updated, be sure to delete all the render files from the project as the funky frames will still be contained in the old ones. Maybe the event as well just to be sure…

Charlie,
I’m on 10.6.8 and FCP X 10.0.4 on an early 2011 MBP i7 with 16GB RAM and everything works fine. I have archived every version of FCP X that has come out for giggles, but the combo of my OS and version of FCP X is problem free. I have loaded OS 10.8.3 and FCP X 10.0.8 on a separate partition, but haven’t had a chance to play with it. I know for a fact that the Mountain Lion OS will “break” a lot of my older software, plus I have no time to mess with that and the slightly new OS learning curve. Someday.
Anyway, 10.6.8 and FCP X 10.0.4 work great together.
Dave
