Clip in Timeline that is set at 100% scale is slightly zoomed in compared to view of same clip in Browser

I know you said you checked, but Spatial Conform is usually the culprit when something like that happens. Do the clip and timeline resolutions match?

Hi, Jeff. Thanks for your response.

Here’s the crazy story:

I rec’d a finished video in 1080p 30fps 44.1Khz

Each shot was a cut, so I cut it down and made Compound clips of each shot

Brought them into a 1080p 23.98fps 48Khz TimeLine

All shots worked fine, except one that is scaled up a bit, but shows only 100% scaling in the Inspector.

I immediately tried the different settings for Spatial Conform – nothing changed at each setting.

I converted the Compound Clips back to regular clips – but the shot is still scaled up slightly, as if the FCPX system is remembering a possible change in scale that I may have done and then reversed.

Here’s what I did to fix the issue:

I used the Inspector to move the Compound clip: x = +90, y = -35, scale = 90%

when I turned it back from being a Compound clip the new Transform held…

Whew!

Don

this is very weird as all clips came from the same piece of video and noe except one is affected by this problem.

I get goofy results when I mix CC and Ken Burns in varying flows.
Not sure if that’s in your setup.

Eric:

thanks for your reply – not my setup, but just as goofy results…
