Was editing a video, went to export it and got an error message that something was wrong with frame 2,600-something. I had this issue before, just needed to delete that part of the video clip. Im having trouble finding the bad clip.

Does anyone know how I can go to a certain farm, or view what fram I am at in FCPX?

-go to preferences->editing and switch your time display to frames
-go to the timeline, hit ctrl-p (or click on the timecode-window) and type the frame number in question. hit enter.

I have previously fixed this issue by deleting rendered frames and letting FCPX re-render. If it's just one clip, and you know which clip it is, adjust the size by 1% or something like that to get FCPX to force a re-render. Usually works for me, but no guarantees :)

You sir, are awesome! I couldn't find anything about this anywhere! Cant believe I didn't check there. Thanks!

Usually its just one clip, this time i got about 10 different frame errors (the first 2 times I tried it was the same frame, then it was a different one each time) I ended up just watching the video in full screen and doing a screen recording.

In my version of FCP (10.3.4) this is done like this: Preferences > General > Time Display (Choose "Frame" from selection)
