Random pixelation - any ideas?

Hi all ,

Hoping you can help me with this issue which has recently started happening. I'm editing like normal and letting it render as I go. Everything seems fine but when I playback I have these random pixelated frames where it's grabbing a copy of another frame(s). It seems the more I fix them by replace the clips snd the longer I'm in the program the more it happens.

I've compounded the clips as I thought that would help but it even happens to frames within compounded clips. I've got deleted all my render files and that seems to bring in new ones.

I've included a video to show the issue

Details are:

What are the media specs! From an iPhone? Did you optimize the media?

I've run into this problem as well, including on a project I'm currently working on. Unfortunately, I don't have a guaranteed fix, but I've found occasionally if I Delete all my Render Files it will help. Looks to me like it's a rendering error but that doesn't fix it every time.

Give that a try and see if it helps! (I'm on Mojave, 10.14.6, FCPX 10.4.6 as reference)

As a follow up, I literally just had this happen. It was pixelating and crossing frames with a different clip from earlier in the project. I deleted the render files and it seems to have worked in this case.

tun off background rendering (prefs) and leave it off.
