I think, and this is a guess, that is has to do with mixed time base. FCPX isn’t particularly fantastic with this process, and the way it counts frames is almost too accurate, in that it calculates too far in to subframes. Subframes are find for audio, but not video. Somehow, the timing gets screwed up and the video does not rest on whole frames anymore, but somewhere in between, and the interface doesn’t correct for this anomaly.
All still frames are brought in at “60p”. If you timeline is anything other than 60p, these little glitch frames occur. It doesn’t happen with clips without dissolves because there’s been no recalculation of time.
I don’t have hard evidence for this, it is just a hunch.

[Jeremy Garchow] “The other way to do it is set Roles (or sub roles) and check only the roles you want to keep. “
I should clarify, check the Roles in X2Pro, not FCPX.

I believe there’s a pref to only include enabled (vs disabled) audio in X2Pro as well.
It is possible to send only the channels you want, I do it all the time by disabling the channels I do not want to send.

“Expand audio components”.
What are you using to send an AAF?

This guy sounds like any mechanic.
My good buddy’s dad was a mechanic for nearly his entire life. Every single car, no matter the make, model, price, luxury, or practicality was a “shitbox”. Every. Car.
Every frame a painting? No, every car a shitbox.
When you get inside the machine for too long, you start to see the flaws. You become aware of every decision, every dollar saved, every process demystified, every marketing term uncovered.
I admire his crusade to put himself out of a job for the betterment of the Apple buying public. It’s a noble cause.
As far as your comment, Bob Zelin, about third party drivers, that is definitely more of a concern for me. I just recently switched to High Sierra, only because 10.4.1 required it. I had some issue getting SAN clients up and running. Nothing too major, nothing unsolvable, but definitely not as plug and play as it has been in the past. When working with support, they mentioned that Microsoft has enabled more strict changes in driver signatures for third parties. So, it’s not only Apple that is doing this. It seems to be a current security trend.
Also, my Wacom drivers were blocked upon reinstall. That was super weird.

Rose gold. Plated.

If this modular MacPro does come out, that’s when I’m sure you will see eGPU support in FCPX. It would be a perfect launch companion. 🙂

I’m not quite sure, Hom Tanks, but Scartin Morsese may know?
You should develop the pics in your favorite program (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc). Use an NLE like FCPX, or Pr, or whatever you have to add music and time your pics to music. Use a 4K timeline if your pictures have the pixels. YouTube will letterbox any non standard video aspect ratios, so keep that in mind. Your pictures won’t be 16:9.
If you add high quality audio, you can export high quality audio. YouTube will inevitably transcode it to something streamable, so you will be at the mercy of the Google servers at that point.

Search the timeline index instead.

What exactly happened when you opened the library? Any warnings or messages?
