Ghost frames in FCPX

[John Fishback]

You might get more responses in the FCPX Techniques forum. But, give more info about your setup, particularly, how are you monitoring the video? What drives are you using and what are their specs?

Hi,
I was wondering if you ever solved this issue? I am having similar problems I think. Different images are showing up where they shouldn’t be or on an empty timeline random pictures will show up while scrubbing through. I’ll be playing a video and a picture from early on timeline will show up instead.
I’ve reinstalled FCP 7, trashed renders, made a new project. Any idea what I could do?

Thank you and hope it worked out for you!

Hi guys,

I did not respond earlier because I could not access the forums for some reason… In fact the whole creative cow was down for me for about half a day…

Anyway

I have not solved the issue, so I just did the cut in Premiere, it was a little bit to do, but it needed to be done fast, so could not wait for FCP to fix itself…

Sofia I see you’re using FCP7, I’m having this trouble on FCPX.

John, I’m simply monitoring on my computer an iMac, and the footage is on a Firewire 400 connected drive, which I’m not sure how fast it is, but it might be 5400 RPM.

This video is PAL 720×576, I’ve done 720P or 1080P videos with an USB 2 drive with no issues.

I’m not sure it’s a hardware issue as much as it is a software glitch…
