So at certain random times while editing in Final Cut, moving one clip somewhere will strangely make a lot of the clips around it invisible. If you play the video of the timeline, they're all still there, but in the timeline itself, they look like black spaces. And it just happens with certain clips I'm trying to edit, making it very difficult to get anything done. Anyone know what the root cause of this problem is?
PPost screenshots. What are the exact media specs? What are the system specs?
Yeah, we get this every now and then. Seems to be completely random. Annoying, certainly, but appears to be harmless. We usually log off the media server, relaunch the application. Or, we just reboot the Mac. Does not always fix the problem. Problem may come back later. Or not. We also see the browser clips go blank. Skimming over the clip will make the image appear briefly. Heard this was a thumbnail cache problem but I've not yet had the patience to chase it down.
Has anyone found a solution to this? I do not agree that it is harmless. It is happening in a long documentary and I can't see whats next in the timeline unless I click the tail of a clip. Does anyone know if Apple is planning to fix this any time soon?
It's completely harmless in my particular situation, your situation is quite different. But you have not indicated anything that suggests it's a problem with the application or how you have attempted to solve it. Tell us more.
No one from Apple participates on this forum. Anyone who is working with Apple on the next rev of FCPX is completely locked down with powerful and scary NDAs; they're not talking.
It will be really hard to fix if it can't be reproduced.
Are you talking about connected clips not being visible in playback or something else?
Here is a link to a video I sent to the developers who have not been able to help much. I went around and around with one of Apple's "High Level" techs and he eventually said he has no idea. They were supposed to get back with me but never did. Anything you guys can do to help out would really make our day.
