Scale, spatial conform and synchronized clips bug
Scale, and spatial conform when using 4K footage on 1080p timeline don’t at all seem consistent and I’m scratching my head as to why. I’m guessing the issue might be a bug related to synchronized clips.
Has anyone else experienced this? What is the solution, break apart and re-sync in the timeline? Arrrgh!

I have been editing 4K media in 1080 timelines in FCPX — just finished a series of 7 vids for a client. I’ve been syncing with PluralEyes before ingest with no issues, but I have experienced a spatial conform bug: you must set to “fit” if you’re going to XML out to Resolve for grading. If you set to “none,” which feels right logically, and then reframe 4K footage (the absolute best part of using 4K in a 1080 timeline), your XML to Resolve will be unusable — the transform specs just don’t make the journey as they should. You must bring into FCPX with spatial conform set to “fit.” Doing that will keep everything in line for a Resolve finish or roundtrip. I know this is not speaking to your sync issue, but expanding just in case your plans are to go out to Resolve.

What version of X are you using?

I had problems where 4k clips would take on 1080 clip properties (or really it was sequence clip properties).
It was fixed in an update, but I don’t know which one.
