Why is there a big red X on one frame of my FCPX export?

I exported this twice and both times on ONE frame there is a giant red X over the frame. This wasn't there in FCPX, just in the export. Why? How do we fix this?

You should be posting this in Final Cut Pro X forum, located here:

https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x

but an X like that is usually the result of applying an effect, that has not been fully licensed, to the clip, so the effect applies a watermark X.

thanks, I just posted it there too.

But what doesn't make sense is that I used the same effects on the rest of the video and it's fine. it's literally ONE frame.

Remove the effect, and then re-apply it to the problematic clip.

I had the same problem and simply unchecked "Draw Outline" in my effect (Magic Bullet Looks). Look for a similar attribute in your effects if you are not using Magic Bullet Looks.
