FCPX 10.3 + Compressor 4.3 Export Problems

Hello to allI open this topic for a problem after updating with the new Final Cut Pro X 10.3 and Compressor 4.3, I explain.Granted I have always worked with final cut from seven up to date versionDoing export with the share using the presets of the compressor es.MPEG-2 422 Program stream, 15 Mbps, the end result can be seen all over with a dark stain type grain or noise. If you display on your Mac monitor or iMac it is not detected, but if you look at it on TV you can see perfectly.This happens even when using the compressor directly with FCPX with F8 using the direct compressor presets.I think it's an important bug reports.If the compressor is used 4.2.2 this problem does not exist.I think it is a problem that the compressor 4.3 was introduced Rec.709 color space that somehow does not communicate well during the coding with FCPXIf you want to try to see if the same problem is also evident to you, take this little test.Open Compressor 4.3 will bring you preset and copy the folder "Custom" MPEG-2422 Program stream, 15 Mbps, leave everything in default without making changesSame with the MPEG-2 for DVD presets.Open FCPX and imported into the Share of the compressor preset inside the folder "Custom".TimeLine imported on a black clip of about 3 seconds or a clip by applying the black bars.Exported with the two presets one at a time and then the files you look at them in the first monitor and then in the TV and tell me what you see.The end result according to my tests you will have to see the whole clip full of a stain in the shape of fixed noise.Hello

Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

I've got exactly the same problems. I tried FCPX 10.3 with Compressor 4.3, 4.22 and 4.21. With all combinations I've got a black screen in my files after the export. I can confirm the noise or grain effects on these files. I am on a MacMini, 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM with El Capitan 10.11.6 (15G1108).

Thank mla85 you for your testimony.
So am I right that there is this problem, I found out that I was right after the update having been exported video.

Just to clarify, because I think mla85 is talking about something else, when you export do you not see any video at all, only black? When you export black, video, black as you described above, the entire export is in black? Is that correct?

I have the same problem.noise there is in all the exported clips, but you can see more in dark scenes, especially the blacks.Test with a project 1920x1080 rec709 to 720x576 rec601. Mpeg2 8000 bitrate.And look on TV .

Took the file you see above. Letterboxed it and exported in MPEG-2 422 default from 10.3 with Compressor4.3 setting, and then from 10.2.3 with Compressor 4.2.2 setting. The files look identical.

I do not know why you do not, but also with other users with different Mac models encountered this problem, it is not only my isolated case.
I just know that I have this problem that never had from what I fcxp the first head.
This problem hurts me for my work videomaker

I have exactly the same problem. I've tried to create a droplet that allows me to put on timecode but every time I try to drop in a new video to test it, the screen is black. Audio is fine, the original source material is fine, but the resulting completed 'batch' from Compressor 10.3 is black screen with the audio. This is even without opening or using final cut I've just added a source clip to compressor and on ALL presets, its now a black screen.

Ignore that, my problem only appears with XAVC long gop source, not .mov files. It's my source files that are clearly causing the problem.

Thanks for posting. I am having the same issue. I exported and made DVD in DVD Studio Pro and see the white dots/noise that are permanently over the video in DVD player but does not show on computer when played there. I hope this gets fixed quickly.

Unfortunately this problem have many users and friends I know, does not matter the type of MAC you have (desktoop or laptop) it is these updates that are not good
Just get back to reinstall FCPX 10.2.3. Compressor 4.2.2 and all back perfectly.
Hopefully by the end of the month comes a date nature to solve this problem.
PS: The question I ask myself is the following: The engineers and developers FCPX before launching an official update do not test them?
it is possible that they did not notice this serious problem?
Or make them test to Us?

Here is a pic I took of it on my TV.

TV: these white dots are static, remaining over the entire video. And only visible on TV, I can play DVD on computer and no dots.

Sounds like your issue may be related to your DVD player or your media, rather than Compressor (assuming you used Compressor to encode and not DVD SP.) Suggest you try another disk, another brand, and/or another player.

Yeah that is what I thought too. I burned to another brand and same result. Also on the DVD I compressed one of the three videos last week before update, and that is still playing fine. The two that I made changes to after the update and compressed have the new issue.

I also airplayed the disk image directly from my computer and had the dots present on TV. But when I look on computer screen no dots. So it's something about how the tv is displaying the video that the computer display in the iMac is not.

Same problem here... Every export gets noisy blacks (and tried with two different sources files).
