They work fine in FCP 10.8.1, so I had to revert to it for now, as I am using this kind of HEVC slomo files in several projects. When you create optimized media, they are displayed correctly, but I don't want to create these giant files if I don't have to...
Anyone else having encountered this bug, or found a workaround without creating optimized media?
I hope this will be fixed in the next update!

@iHeimo, you are correct. The clips themselves if loaded to a new FCP 11 library are OK. The problem happens during the library upgrade of a prior FCP version to FCP 11. It also happens if you export a 10.8.1 library XML or project XML containing those clips and load that to an FCP 11 library.
So a workaround is to stay on 10.8.1. If work was already done on the FCP 11 library, you can export a prior-version (1.12) library XML and load that on 10.8.1. That should preserve all the clips and projects.
I tested Sony XAVC-S and XAVC-HS 100.0 fps and 120 fps files and those work OK after upgrading to FCP 11. Another user reports a Nikon Z9 clip turns black but he has not told us the clip specs or uploaded a clip to examine.
I am investigating how the problem happens....
The file plays correctly for me in FCP 11 in Sequoia on an Intel MBP.
Do those files work correctly in 10.8.1 *on the same Mac*?
Yes, they do, as noted in my original post. That's why I reverted back to FCP 10.8.1 for now. Please note: Tom has an Intel Mac, I have an M1 Max.
The file works for me on both systems Intel and Apple. The Apple Silicon is an M1 MBP. I don’t have to optimize.
Mine is an M1 MAX. It works just fine in FCP 10.8.1, but not in FCP 11! If one of the FCP developers contacts me, I am willing to send you my system report/configuration file, if that helps.
It would seem very Duane that it would work in an M1 Pro and not a Max. I think there’s something else going on with the system.
It works even correctly with Quick Look in the Sequoia Finder...
I have seven Macs of various types, including an M1 Max MacBook Pro 16. If you can post the GH6 file where I can download it, I will test it on all of them and analyze the problem.
Thanks Luis! I will give it another try when FCP 11.1 comes out, or whatever the first bugfix is going to be named ;-)
I didn’t have to trash the settings. I guess mine were ok to start with. Hopefully it will fix Helmo’s problem
Thanks joema, please check out my latest post; I tried that, no luck – but found out some interesting facts.
@terryb Yes, I did already notify them, before I posted here!
FCP 11 displays Lumix GH6 100fps files in black
