Flickering in Time Lapse Exported from Multicam Compound Clip

Thanks, Terry. Forgot to provide that info. I'm running MacOS 13.2.1 and FCPX 10.6.5, which I believe are the latest versions.

Yes, I did find a thread about a frame ordering issue over at FCP.co, but seemed to be a more general problem (affecting playback and normal exports) which I haven't experienced, and was supposedly fixed with the release of 10.6.4.

After a lot of searching I haven't found anyone else where it occurs just with retimed multicam compound clips. All of my other exports are fine.

Thanks, Terry. It didn't occur to me to remove all effects. Unfortunately it didn't make a difference.

After doing more troubleshooting I discovered that my Multicam clip might be too complicated (with perhaps 1000 cuts) for retiming to work seamlessly. I brought my unedited Multicam clip into a new project, applied the same amount of retiming (in this case, 17x), and the exported file didn't have any problems. If this is indeed the source of the problem, it doesn't help me at all, but hopefully Apple can fix the issue.

Terry, that's done it!

I didn't know that I could apply retiming to so many clips at once without have to compound them!

So it looks like FCPX struggles to retime at large number of clips at once that have been batched together into a compound clip, but can do it if they're retimed individually.

Thanks again! This should save me a lot of time!

I'll definitely provide feedback to Apple.

By the way, I saw that you're also a member over at fcp.co. After you found the solution, I attempted to post on the thread I started over there (don't want to waste anyone's time), but 18 hours later my post still hasn't been approved by the moderators. I was able to edit the original post, though.

Thanks again for your help.
