    Have you deleted your cache?

    Are the glitches present in source footage when you play through Quicktime or any other system other than FCPX?

    Hello Jeremy,

    I threw the cache away, but that doesn’t help. It Also has glitches while playing in VLC.
    When I worked on the project ast year it didn’t had this problem.

    [Pieter Vlamings] “Also has glitches while playing in VLC.”

    Are the glitches in the *source* footage that was imported to FCPX? If so it’s likely not an FCPX problem. Can you describe or post an image of the glitches?

    What camera, frame rate, resolution, bit rate and codec? You can inspect those things using Quicktime Player 10’s menu: Window>Show Movie Inspector.

    If it’s glitching in other applications that suggests a few things.

    Does it glitch in the same frames repeatedly, or is it random?

    Do you have more than one machine to play back on?

    Either your computer might be failing (perhaps a GPU) or your media somehow is corrupted.

    Of you have another machine, try playing the media back on it and see if you see the glitches. Try and note the frames to see if the glitches repeat on the same frame.
