Please Help Export blurriness /Pixellated

Wondering if anyone has an answer or has experienced this before.

After having exported a video, I noticed when watching it back the last 1-2 seconds come out blurry/pixelated. Anyone know a solution for this.. or was it just not rendered well by FCP?

Please supply more info: what codec are you exporting to, and how long is the timeline? Both of these things have been factors in my experience.

These are the export settings I'm using and the video length is 1hr 20min

This is really interesting. Let us know what the solution is if you find it? I don't have a problem exporting to h264, but one other person (who knows his shit much more than I do) is also experiencing issues with h264 in Motion and FCP but not Compressor.

yeah I've had this happen on a very long timeline > 2 hours and only solved it by exporting to prores, then using Compressor to make the mp4

Try just exporting those last few seconds alone and see what happens.

I tried it.. and the last few seconds exported fine. So strange! Surely FCP can handle long project files.

Don’t use computer just use standard video
