Final Cut Pro Export - Blobby Glitch

-First picture is system specs.

-Second picture is project properties.

-Third and fourth picture is media specs for the imported files. There is only one clip within the timeline that comes from the Google Drive source, although all file types are technically iPhone footage. I actually just tried exporting without the existence of the Google Drive file type within the timeline, and it removed the glitches from where they were before but moved glitches to other parts of the video. Very strange.

-Fifth picture is an example of the glitchy blobs.

-Sixth picture is the specs for the exported Apple ProRes 422 file.

Hey, the optimization worked! Thanks so much.

But now I am noticing that in the playback of the exported video, the frame rate is a bit more jittery than the smoothness of the original files. This isn’t just happening in the new export. I looked back at the older messed up exports, and it is like that for them, as well.

Is there a workaround for making the export look just as smooth in frame rate as the original source? It doesn’t look completely terrible, but it is a bit distracting. Again, thanks so much.

Just realized that the frame rate of the original video files is 30fps, while the project settings are at 23.98. I don’t seem to be able to change the frame rate of the project when I go to modify, and the only other option I could find on the Internet is to do rate conform with the frame rate of individual clips, but I don’t know which rate conform option is best. I’d really prefer to change the project settings as a whole rather than alter individual clips. I appreciate any help/advice you can give. Thanks!

File source specs below.

It won’t let me upload the glitchy blob photo. Final export is below.

Okay, it’s not letting me upload the project properties photo, but the properties say:

1920x1080p 23.98p Stereo 48KHZ

Rec 709

Location Macintosh HD

Problem solved! Thanks so much! Now I just have to tweak the placement of some clips in the timeline, but that’s my own fault for not doing it right in the first place. Haha. Have a good day!
