getting green or purple frames after render

Ever since the latest updates, I am getting bright green or purple frames that appear in my footage after rendering.. it's HORRIBLE and make it's basically impossible for me to edit anything as I have to go back in and re-render every time a new green or purple frame appears.

Is anyone else experieinceing this?

I am pretty sure I have updated all of my filters.. I use FxFactrory Pro and they keep things updated.

I just don't know how to stop this from happening!

Thanks!

Under Effects, look for Broadcast Safe, and drop that onto your footage, in the timeline.

I've had the same problem, and that effect cleaned it up.

This is a know issue with FCPX 10.0.6 and 10.0.7 - it happens when plugins are used.

I used the Edit Detector program from Digital Rebellion to search my exported file for the flashes. I then exported shorter sections from my final video again (i.e. shorter 5 seconds sections) which I found did not have the flashes, added these as connected clips and re-exported the whole file again.

I only had 3 flashes in a 4 hours video to correct.

This was painful, but a good workaround until Apple fix this!

I just expoted a 4 hour video from FCPX - each time I delete all render files from the event and project.

The 1st two times using OSX 10.8.2 I encountered a few magenta flashes

The 3rd time using OSX 10.8.3 I had zero magenta flash frames!!

Have apple secretly fixed this issue with the OSX update? Can anyone else report success?

I am heavily using Magic Bullet Looks, Neat Video, Lock and Load X etc

I figured out that there were particular filters in my setup that were causing these flashes AND I WASN'T EVEN USING THOSE FILTERS!

So.. bad filters can mess up your rendering even if you don't use them but have them installed on your system.

The filters I removed that SOLVED THE PROBLEM immediately, were the Ripple Training Filters.. (RT Drop Shadow, etc.) remove those and you'll be fine!
