Problem with Final Cut Pro X

I don't disagree with Adobe being better, but X is far better than 7

I can't disagree more.. any professional editor that works with FCP7 will tell you what a let down and waste of money they thought FCPX was.. hence why if you have FCP7 you can get Premiere half price :L

it may look a little nicer (to me it's lost all professional looks) it just looks like a fancy version of iMovie.. and that's pretty much all it is, iMovie with a few extras...
you are unable to do half the things you could with FCP7.. you can do the most basic of google searches and find thousands of editors and small film makers complaining about it.

Film Riot on youtube actually made a whole video about his thoughts on the software which will give you a much more indepth look as to why it's such a disappointment.

They should have just worked on fixing the few bugs FCP7 had and maybe changing up a few things, not taking 1/4 of it's features and putting them into iMovie and calling it "FCPX" it's not even software for a start, it's just an app on the appstore. You simple cannot compare a £250 app to a £700-£800 piece of software.
 
FCPX was the first version of FCP I actually started to use. It was a natural progression from iMovie and I completely love it.

Software is subjective. Some will like one piece of software, others won't. Its whatever makes you comfortable and whatever works for you. Just because you like one piece of software, or one version, doesn't mean others will.

You like FCP7. I prefer FCPX. Lets get on with it and refrain from derailing the thread any further since you're not going to convince any FCPX user to ditch it and use FCP7, or vice versa. I really don't see the point in arguing over it?

Heyyyyy,
I edit my videos with Final Cut Pro x for Mac, but I've got a weird problem.
Sometimes whilst editing green spots appears in different places in my project and it takes a hell of a time to remove them. My only solution to this problem has been to split my video into smaller bits in maybe 5-10 different projects while editing, but the green spots still appears sometimes.

My life would be a lot easier if I somehow could get rid of the appearing green spots forever. Someone who knows how to fix this?

Thanks! :)

As these green spots of video occur, do you have a thin orange line that goes across the top of your timeline as well?

Not sure if found a solution but missing frames (going green) can happen for a number of reasons in FCPX.

Sometimes it can be down to the footage which has been imported and the code that was used. It can be that the video wasn't rendered so the preview went green.

One tip is when you import a video into an event and you get a dialogue box that appears which asks you to either create a proxy or transcode if those are ticked, click on the box on the centre (has a percentage counter on it) and wait for this to hit 100% before dragging it to your timeline.

Yeah, but that only because the movie isn't rendered :)

The green frames are usually an indication that FCPX is having a hard time keeping up, they are placeholders of sorts and often occur if you haven't allowed your video to render in your timeline or if you're using the original footage and haven't check marked optimize media upon import which would transcode your footage to Prores 422.

You have two options either upon importing, you check mark optimize media which will transcode your files or use a third party software such as MPEG Streamclip or Compressor and transcode the video to Prores 422. Which should fix your issue, if you're encountering green frames upon export, then it may be an issue with your video card.

Yeah that happens if you import and then move the file to a different location or delete it. I think there's an option to copy the file into final cut project when you import.
