I have a scene in my film Final Cut Pro X HATES
-
I’ve done a lot of reading on this. And I’ve even tried working in this particular Project at Standard Def (480) as a test, by moving just this scene into its own Project. And I’m already editing off transcoded 422 proxy files. So besides creating Optimized versions of all the files (which I’m not sure I have the disk space for now), I’m not sure what else I could try to improve the workflow. Again, this is the only scene in a 95 min film that is causing me problems.

Yeah, I’ve already tried the method of moving the scene into its own project. This is where I also tested it at different resolutions. 2K. 720p. Then 480p. And none of that helped. So yeah, I’m tempted to just reimport these specific scenes and then rebuild the scene from scratch. I’m just running out of time. :/

Well, if it’s just the one scene, I’d recommend you just open a new project. Cut and paste ONLY those clips into a small, self-contained timeline.
See if that renders and plays back OK. Even if it doesn’t – try Exporting JUST that small section as a Tiny Master Clip and then bring the “consolidated clip” back in to replace the complex construction of the original.
I haven’t needed to do this in X ever, but I used to do it with some frequency with my more complex constructions in FCP-Legacy.
So it’s worth a try. Let us know how things go.

What effects are you using?
Have you tried breaking apart the compound clips?
You can select those two clips and choose to transcode them if you want. You don’t have to transcode everything.

This advice was tremendously helpful, guys. Thank you.
