PLEASE HELP FCPX 10.3.1 Color shift issue during playback

I am completely new to FCPX and video editing in general. So far learning everything has been a breeze EXCEPT for this issue that is driving me entirely insane where the colors during playback will shift in and out at random.

I took of video to show what happens. Watch at 0:08 and 0:15. It's as if a filter gets applied over the footage for a split second and then goes away. I've searched for two days on Google and can't find a single solution.

I'll try and provide as much info as possible.

I have a mid-2012 macbook pro. 2.7GHZz i7 16GB MacOS Sierra 10.12.2

The footage comes from a GoPro Hero 5. Shot in 2.7k @30 fps .MP4 files

I've tried to import the footage as Optimized, Proxy, Both and Neither. All 4 of those options the problem still happens.

The footage plays perfectly on the camera and in quicktime and only has this issue in FCPX.

I've tried to switch between "better quality" and "better performance" and that doesn't do it.

I've tried it with background rendering on and off. Still happens with both.

I've tried importing with color balance and without, still happens.

There are no effects or anything crazy going on. Just simple clips on the timeline and that's it.

This is extremely distracting and I just want to be able to play my videos without a random change in color happening. It's always at different times too, never the same.

PLEASE HELP!
