Recorded lots of footage in 4K 30p and 1080p HEVC and have approx 5-6 pixelated glitches when the 10 minute project is exported. Have tried every combination of deleting render files, optimising media, re-exporting, with inconsistent results and no actual clean export. I read somewhere that I should have shot in ‘most compatible’ mode. Not much I can do about that now but, if this is true, why does Apple not warn users that it means compatibility with an Apple product!
Got a tip for us?

Is iPhone HEVC video actually compatible with FCP X?

I get the same glitches. Is HEVC to blame? (Asking to make sure because I’ve been filming and editing just fine). I thought it was a bug with the newer Final Cut.

First question: What version of OS and hardware?
But, I regularly import C100 footage (AVCHD), apply some corrections and effects, and get pixelated surprises. After no small amount of digging, I can verify that the source is good, and the import is good. It's FCPX that is injecting it. And, often not at first. So I duplicate the project every so often.
- It hasn't happened to Sony a6000 (AVCHD) and GH5 (.mov and mp4) clips
- What seems to help is immediately re-exporting the raw clips before starting to work with it.
This has happened on a cMP/10.14.6/RX580 (and the GT120 before that) and late-2013 15-MBP.

My 10th attempt led to a glitch-free render. It was about getting the right combination of deleting and recreating render files and optimised media. Annoying and very unlike Apple/FCPX, which has been incredible at handling any sort of media until now.
