Weird Glitchy Area on my Footage
I edit on Final Cut (I just did the update to 10.4 a few days ago) and I noticed there’s this weird glitchy area (it almost looks like the old VCR effect) at the top of some of the footage I took. I never experienced this before and I wonder if it has something to do with the new update? The footage looks fine when I play it back on my camera, in Premiere, and from just the file itself on my computer. Luckily I covered some of the messed up footage with b-roll but I have no clue what the problem is. Does it have something to do maybe with the SD card (Sandisk Extreme Pro 128GB) I use possibly being messed up? I shoot on a Canon XA10 and edit on a 2015 Macbook Pro, any help would be great thank you.

I doubt it’s the SD card. Can you screenshot the glitch? Might be GPU related.

For some reason it’s not letting me upload a screenshot of it but here’s an unlisted link: https://youtu.be/d__eP1Zzgoo
the glitch happens around the 10 second mark, it did that in multiple other clips too

I’ve seen this using gopro type footage in FCP 7 when I imported the footage directly and didn’t first convert it to prores 422 in mpeg Streamclip. Looks like the same kind of “tearing” you experienced in this shot.
I guess I’d try a re-render first, then try to re-transcode the footage and import it back over the original shot.

Yea I usually import right into Final Cut directly from the SD card so I imported to my desktop first this time and just dragged it into the timeline and that did the trick! Thank you everyone.

When you say you imported it to desktop did you just copy the file from the card to desktop?

Sorry didn’t mean to seem abrupt. I have the same issues with the same camera and have spent the last four days trying all different ways to try and work around it but have had no success. So I was happy to know it’s not just me or that my camera was on the way out.
Thanks

Hello. I am experiencing the very same problem with a Canon HF G10 camera. After I saw that “drops” on the upper part of the footage the first time, I blamed the card. So I tried taking more test footage with three different cards, and they all showed the glitch on the upper area, and sometimes on the lower area as well. I tried to look at the footage direct from the camera, and it was playing just fine. I was about to send the cam in for a check, but it seems the problems is somewhere else.

Hello.
Do you mean you copied the .mts files to your desktop and then dragged it onto the timeline? It did not work for me.Fabrizio D\’Agnano

My guess is that its has something to do with the lastest final cut update. I have imported footage from a Canon XF100 with no problems. Just the xa10 has given me problems.

I’m not sure if I have my card formatted correctly but what I did was put the SD Card into my computer, opened it up, opened the “PRIVATE” folder, clicked the AVCHD icon, selected the clip I needed and from the Quicktime player I hit file-save-saved to desktop, once it was on the desktop I just dragged it onto my timeline in Final Cut and the glitchy area went away.
