Whenever I use an overlay effect in my Final Cut Pro x timeline, it completely glitches the file and comes up showing this. Does anybody have a solution? I can’t figure anything out to fix this and I have tons of footage to edit and these effects are very essential to the video.

Have you tried resetting FCP's preferences? To delete preferences, hold down command and option while launching FCPX and click Delete Preferences in the dialog that displays. FCP will open with a default Untitled library. Reopen the library you were working on and see if the problem is fixed. You'll need to reset your preferences back to the way you like them.

I still don't know what the media specifications are. Check the frame rate of the overlays. If they're not 24 it might be better to convert. You can also try to optimize your media. Right-click on the clip in the browser and select Transcode Media. You're slowing down the clips which might add to the complication.
Did you try transcoding your media, creating optimized files. It might be easier to process, but if there’s a hardware problem it probably won’t help.
Not the overlays, they’re already optimized. You should be able to optimize your camera clip that is H.264.
From their website, Cinepacks Paint FX Samples are 4K standalone videos to be used with blend modes. It does look strange. marcellusf2247 would it be possible to post more screen shots in the correct orientation so we don't have to crane our necks to see what's going on? What blend mode are you using for the Cinepacks clip?
As Tom said, since these are just plain QuickTIme movies they can live anywhere and probably shouldn't be inside the Motion Templates folder. Maybe a folder called something like Cinepacks Paint FX that all your projects can access.
Open one of your clips like DSC_0814 in the QuickTime player. Press Cmd-I for the Info window. Post a screenshot of everything it shows there. Do the same for for one of your overlay clips like 4K Film burn. Also, what are the project properties, frame size, frame rate? We need this information to be able to have an idea what can you do to fix this problem.
What drag and drop plugins? Most FCP plugins need to be installed in the Motion Templates folder.
Open the video files in the QuickTime player and use Cmd-I to show the info inspector. Post screenshots of the files.
To make a screenshot press Shift-Cmd-4 and drag a selection on the screen. The image will be saved to the desktop.
That's not the information from the QuickTime player. That's the file information from the Finder. It has no technical information about the media. These are the overlays. We need the information for your video as well.
It's really hard to understand what you're doing because none of this seems normal. None of your media belongs in the Motion Templates folders. If these are samples connected to Motion effects they shouldn't be used in projects. If you want to use them, they should be copied out of Motion Templates.
Do you mean the overlay blend mode? Please give the exact specifications of the media files and also the project properties.
23.98. The samples are the same so that's alright. If transcoding the media doesn't help, then I can't see what's causing this. The Paint FX samples play alright with 40% speed and blend modes on 4K material. It may just be the machine, either a problem with it, or the shared graphics can't handle it, though it's not even rendering it correctly, so it may well be a hardware problem.
I bought some drag and drop plug ins that I use for my videos, but all of a sudden when I want to use one for a clip and place it over the clip it shows that. I tried several blend modes but keep coming out with the same result. I shoot all my videos in 24 fps 1080p. The effects used to work on my computer, I’m just confused as to why it doesn’t anymore.
All of my files are located in the motion templates, most if not all of them are showing this glitched screen when I put them into my timeline. Almost all of them are effects or transitions I can just drag and drop into my timeline but they won’t show clearly. They even render out in this glitched screen
Sorry for the late reply, I've been trying to find a solution but I can't. It's still doing the same thing and its very frustrating because I can't use a lot of my overlay media I downloaded from cinepacks. No matter what blend mode I change it to my files simply shows as if its damaged, Please can anybody help? I really don't want to have to buy another computer.
I didn’t start having this problem until I bought this computer, I have a Mac mini. All of the overlays used to work on my laptop and it’s frustrating because all these effects are suppose to be simple drag and drop effects and I’m confused why they won’t show. I tried talking to apple support on the phone and they couldn’t do anything because when I first started using Final Cut Pro it was already on a laptop that I bought from a guy. Long story short, when I got a new computer I simply put Final Cut Pro on a flash drive and transferred it over to my computer. Now i can never use overlays because they show up as so
How to fix glitched file in Final Cut Pro timeline?
