  • I’m getting WAY too many flash frames. Anyone else?

    Posted by Robert Bracken on January 18, 2013 at 7:48 pm

    It seems that when I hit the “e” key to add video at the end it’s creating a small flash frame.

    My projects are littered with these and I’m lucky that most of my videos are less than 5 minutes. That makes finding them take less time.

    Is anyone else having these problems?

    I have not seen this problem. But.

    The timeline index, I would imagine, would be a good place to find these.

    Are all of your clips the same frame rate?

    Do you have snapping turned on?

    Yes I have snapping turned on.
    But I’m pressing the “end” button to add video to the end. Why is fcpx giving me flash frames?

    is your footage the same frame rate as your timeline and is all of your footage the same frame rate?

    Yes it is 29.95

    are you using MFX files by any chance? I’ve had problems with them creating black flash frames before. SO I had to convert to ProRes 422.

    I don’t know what that is. I selected “optimized my clips” when importing.

    What camera did you use to film your footage?

    If you get a flash frame every time you hit e, you should try trashing your prefs or reinstalling.

    I was recently doing some audio editing with the source clip in the primary storyline and no other clips in the project.

    I cut out a section and wanted to repeat it several times so I did what I would normally do and option-dragged the clip to make and place the duplicate. I kept getting one frame audio clips at the end of the option-dragged clip.

    This is not normal behavior and I have not been able to follow up on it yet but maybe there is a bug in there somewhere and it’s related to what you’re seeing.
