  Invisible Frame on Timeline

  Posted by Stephanie Quilligan on October 18, 2010 at 1:55 pm

  Hello,

  I have been editing together a selection of clips. I have used in and out points to edit these clips onto the timeline and also just dragged the entire clips to the timeline and cut out the section I need.

  5 out of 11 of these clips have a ‘flash’ frame at the beginning on the edited clip. Meaning that when I play the clip a flash of the previous frame shows up but when I go through the clip frame by frame it is not there! I have zoomed in fully and still cannot see it. I have also cut the first bit off the clip and still the previous frame flashes on screen.

  Anybody had this problem before, I have no idea how to get rid of this invisible flash frame.

  Thank you

  Have you tried closing the project and restarting your machine? This is what I do when FCP gets wonky. I have experienced the flash frames like you and this usually solves it.

  Please give more info about the format/frame rate of both your timeline and your footage.

  Yes the computer has been shut down and sarted up numerous times and nothing seems to change.

  Thanks for reply!
