SOLVED, well sorta. I guess the better reply would be found a workable SOLUTION.

I do have compressor installed. (Latest version)
The problem only appears on multicam projects. As soon as I hit “view angles” the video starts the lag terribly.
I am running 4 1080p angles and 2 audio tracks. I do not use proxy/optimized footage. I never have, and never had to in the past with similar projects.
I’ve tried switching between original/better performance settings. No change in the stutter/dropped frames.
I tried a fresh reformat and clean install a couple of times.

I tested this on the system listed above and on a 2015 iMac. Same exact issue on both machines.
I started deleting apps that I usually run just to see if anything was causing it. Adobe, Firefox, mail, Slack, you name it… No changes in the crappy performance.

So I once again did a reformat/clean install of High Sierra. This time I decided to install Final Cut Pro X 10.3.4. Guess what? Runs smooth as butter just as it always has. All the angles, no proxy/optimized. Everything full rez running on dual 4k monitors. Runs absolutely perfect.
I then tested this on the iMac and got the same results. Runs perfectly.

I don’t know what it is, but FCPX 10.4 runs like complete garbage for me on two separate computers when “displaying angles” on multicam projects. Does this happen for everybody else when viewing angles on multicam projects? Very strange.

Deleting the preferences did not help. Final Cut is almost unusable at this point on my system. After 2-3 seconds the video becomes so choppy that it is almost impossible to edit without pulling your hair out. The audio plays through just fine. VTDecoderXPCService is still running up the CPU and this all started after the last update.

Any other ideas?

I thought that the first time it happened. After starting to fix the damage it happened once again. I then knew that something screwy was happening. I am now just trying to figure out how to save what I have left. I’m considering copy/pasting sections of backups into a new project to see if that helps anything. I don’t know what else to do or what could be causing this bug.

Yes I realize it is an unusual ratio for video but that is what my client wants. I have been doing a series of videos for them in this resolution in the previous version of FCP. I could easily type in 1024×768 in the sequence settings there.

I wanted to attempt starting to work with FCPX for these projects but it now looks like it would be easier to just to stick with the old version if I can’t easily get to 1024×768.

February 16, 2011 at 2:43 am in reply to: Final Cut adding random frames? How do I correct?

I got some advice that worked. If anybody else is having this problem this is what corrected it.

Simply create a new sequence. Copy the entire edit from the old sequence and paste it into the new one and re-render.
