    It only happens on this one beginning clip, but any effect I lay on top, or transition I try to use causes the clip to become a completely unusable mess of digital gibberish. I take away the effects/transitions and the clip returns to normal. Obviously that does me absolutely no good.

    I didn’t see any forum for FCPX support anywhere, so to keep this relevant, after this little project is done, I am trashing this garbage iMovie facelift for hobbyists and going right back to FCP7. So there’s my take on it 🙂

    [Dwight Cenac] “I didn’t see any forum for FCPX support anywhere,”

    well sure,

    the programme may be a horrible, chrome heavy, incoherent, sluggish, buggy mess of hubristic we know better FUBAR gifted from the apple death star to editing over the corpse of a usable editing system, but, still and all, there actually is a techniques forum, wearing heavy iron gloves, set to deal with the hideous dayglo offal carbunkle apple barfed onto the world of editing.

    I guess we should should just try to guess what your media and your system is. I’ll start with some kind of Mac mini.

    All the best,

    All of the files are the same format, industry standard P2 files imported right off my Panasonic HVX200 onto the latest i7 iMac running Lion 10.6.8. Oh, did I mention I’m working on Final Cut Pro X? Did I need to mention that? Does that help? Oh, and the monitor’s REALLY big. Does that help? I also did this while eating home made fried rice and veggies. Actually, I didn’t. I don’t eat until after 3pm when I’ve worked out my cardio. Does that help? Anything else you might have to guess, let me know. My favorite color is rainbow.

    I’m sorry. I thought the fact that the program is picking and choosing how to treat files despite the fact that they are the all the same (and not corrupt) would be evident enough that it’s a problem with Pro X and not what machine I’m on.

    But I will be the first to admit that I’m an absolute moron when it comes to Apple products. And sometimes, I’m just a moron. I usually work with Premiere Pro for this very reason.

    Ah, see? Another glowing piece of evidence that I am both blind and dumb. Thanks for the link!
