Q: I have recently had a problem adding still png or jpg graphics - it looks like it is not syncing and gives purple and green patterns.
When adding a graphic to my FCPX video in form of png or jpg or tiff it looks like it does not sync as per pic
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

I'm guess this 2011 13 inch MBP is your computer?
You could run Apple Hardware Test to see if it reports any issues.
But I have to think that it's straining your MBP's graphics capabilities. Still images are always challenging for video applications and adding effects makes it more so. Re-reading this thread, it's not clear to me whether you actually resized the photos' resolution (as Tom mentioned). If you're panning and zooming, they probably don't need to be any more than 50% larger than the project resolution. Suggest trying a test project with resolution set to 720P. In Preview, resize a handful of stills so that the height is 720 (1.5 x 480). Keep the aspect ratio of the stills unchanged. (if your stills are 3:2, then your resized photos would be 1080X720 px).
Good luck.
