FCPX creating corrupted frames?
Hi,
Does anyone recognize this? After exporting separate chapters of my project, I discovered corrupted frames in a few of the clips. There is no regularity that I can discover. Every now and then a frame in pink or violet will pop up, or greenish. Even frames upside down and frames completely out of order appear. I am at a loss.I’m new to this forum and would try my luck on this. If you recognize it, do you know of a solution? I tried rerendering, reconnecting to the timeline, re-exporting, nothing helps. Should I rebuild the corrupted clips from the ground up? It’s all shoots from a non professional JVC HD camera and I had to deinterlace, heavily color correct, noise deduct, apply stabilization and, last but not least: apply Pluraleyes for syncing with my CANON FX100 shots (it’s a music concert). The Canon shots are fine. Or is the sheer number of filterings etc. just too much? Rendering takes forever on my iMac with i7 2,2 GHz CPU (still on Lion for now). I updated to 10.0.6, no luck either.
And if there’s no avoidance, is there a way to delete single frames in a clip, or at least black them out so that they are less disturbing?
Hope to hear from somebody. Thanks in advance.

This happened to me yesterday and I created a new compound clip out of the clip that was having this issue. And it resolved my issue of having a green frame for 1 frame in that part of the timeline.
I too am running the latest version of FCPX 10.0.6.

I meet the same problem. The solution I found is to slightly change a parameter and to rerender. But those frames pop up anywhere, fot no apparent reason.

Thanks for your reaction. I will try your suggestions, but it seems a matter of good or bad luck whether the results are clean or not. At least it’s a comfort that others face the same issue. I take it, that you don’t know of a method to replace the individual corrupted frames? I could export the clip as a sequence of frames, then repair the bad frames and re-import it. Rather a pain.
The other day, someone told me, that the JVC non-professional videocamera’s have a bad record when it comes to accuracy. My shooting was made with a GZ-HD5E, not the cheapest, with 3CCD technique.
Especially under poor light circumstances the shots are not good. Can any of you confirm, that this might be the basic reason for my problems? A two camera shooting of a concert is fine, but not if in postproduction everything goes wrong.Thanks again,

Here is how I did it, for those who might benefit.
First set markers around the corrupted frame. Then put in- and out points at the same locations. File > Share > Export Image Sequence to a folder on the desktop. Opened Motion. From the Project Browser selected Create Project From File. Selected the Image Sequence and imported to as project. Exported it: Share > Export Movie. In FCPX imported the movie and placed it over the corrupted selection. Worked well, except for one detail: the new clips is shorter than the original. Why? I will start a new Post.The other day, someone told me, that the JVC non-professional videocamera’s have a bad record when it comes to accuracy.

Edit:
The actual repair I did simply with Finder: he sequence shows the mini-thumbnails, the corrupted one is plainly visible. I copied the previous frame and replaced it for the corrupted one. That’s all. Not perfect (the movement is interrupted, but that’s invisible), but very satisfying.
