Video file in 4K dragged into HD project in Final Cut Pro X becomes blurry Issue is still reproducible from previous post: 4k footage in a 1080p timeline looks blur… - Apple Community I just wasted 4 hours with my project just to understand that it is not a problem of my skills but rather an issue of FCPX. Does anyone know how in 2024 to fix it or it is still an open defect?

Footage is 60fps but FCP says it's 58p Hello, i downloaded software on Appstore called "MediaInfo" for me to get some information about the footage i was about to edit. It say it's 60fps at FullHD, but for some reason, if i inspect the video in FCP, it shows only 59.94p. If i try to render the video in 60fps, i would get choppy output (it looks like it's around 30fps). So the only solution i yet found was to render in 59.94p, but still, i can see that some frames are missing (there is like 1sec of "stutter" around every 15 seconds). Project codec is set to: Apple ProRes 4444 Media Inspector inside FCP: Media inspector trough MediaInfo: My render settings: Anyone know what could be the problem and solution? I can provide more information if needed. It's strange for me that there is big stutter when trying to export at 60fps and i am forced to 59.94p, where the stutter is also present (only a little, but still). Thanks for respond in advance! EDIT: i also found more info in FCP about the media, here it says that the footage have 58,82 frames. Strange, because everywhere else it says that the footage is 60fps (also in quicktime inspector). I am running blind here. Origin of the footage is from twitch VOD, downloaded by software called "Twitch Leecher" and it should be at 60fps.

Slow motion videos are degraded and scrambled. I capture videos in slow motion at a frame rate of 240 FPS. However, when I transfer these videos to my laptop or PC, I notice a degradation in their quality. Specifically, certain intervals within the videos exhibit a significant reduction in resolution, appearing pixelated and scrambled, while the rest of the video maintains a higher quality. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue. it is normal when the video starts but goes bad after a few seconds.

Looks like you have a 1920x1080 project with source clips that are 640x360?

Can you give the media specs and the project properties? Export as ProRes and check the quality.
