Desperate! Video flickering on timeline and export I have created a whole series of these videos but for some reason this specific video plays fine on media player but is randomly flickering in the timeline, see video for full explanation: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c3XDFgVUoMA Thanks in advance!

Footage is 60fps but FCP says it's 58p Hello, i downloaded software on Appstore called "MediaInfo" for me to get some information about the footage i was about to edit. It say it's 60fps at FullHD, but for some reason, if i inspect the video in FCP, it shows only 59.94p. If i try to render the video in 60fps, i would get choppy output (it looks like it's around 30fps). So the only solution i yet found was to render in 59.94p, but still, i can see that some frames are missing (there is like 1sec of "stutter" around every 15 seconds). Project codec is set to: Apple ProRes 4444 Media Inspector inside FCP: Media inspector trough MediaInfo: My render settings: Anyone know what could be the problem and solution? I can provide more information if needed. It's strange for me that there is big stutter when trying to export at 60fps and i am forced to 59.94p, where the stutter is also present (only a little, but still). Thanks for respond in advance! EDIT: i also found more info in FCP about the media, here it says that the footage have 58,82 frames. Strange, because everywhere else it says that the footage is 60fps (also in quicktime inspector). I am running blind here. Origin of the footage is from twitch VOD, downloaded by software called "Twitch Leecher" and it should be at 60fps.

Images disappear and then reappear Bit of an odd one I think. Never had this problem before. So during playback of a video on the timeline it plays fine, but when I move the curser along it disappears briefly and then comes back. And same when I export the file. Any help would be fab. Cheers

Depending on the capabilities of your mac and the complexity of your project, it is possible that some parts may be difficult to play back.

You may test if this is the case by creating a “RAM Preview” - this renders your project, or a section of it. I am away from my mac, but it is there at the bottom of one of the application menus.

Can you tell us more about your mac and project?
